Almost nobody uses Sentret in battle. It exists to evolve into Furret, which is a completely different story. Get it there and you won't regret it. Part of the Gen 2 roster. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively.
Nothing fancy in Sentret's spread. It leans mixed with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
When acting as a lookout, it warns others of danger by screeching and hitting the ground with its tail.
It stands on its tail so it can see a long way. If it spots an enemy, it cries loudly to warn its kind.
Sentret Weakness
GoodFighting-type 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.

Best Locations

Watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Sentret. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 20 Speed, Sentret won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Sentret evolves into Furret at level 15. Sentret is the base form of this evolutionary line.
Run Away ensures success fleeing from wild battles — that's the one you want on Sentret. Frisk is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Keen Eye works too if your team needs something different.
Sentret is leaning toward the physical side (base 46 Attack). Fragile — can't afford to take many hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 20 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
