Is Sentret Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?

Breed-only. Normal typing and low stats don't give Sentret or Furret a role in Hoenn when Linoone already fills the early Normal slot natively.

Sentret Weakness

Fighting moves hit Sentret for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Sentret's Normal typing only leaves 1 gap to cover.
