How to Get Sentret in Emerald
Sentret never appears in the wild in Emerald, and no Hoenn route or Safari plot lists it. To get one you breed it from a Furret raised elsewhere, which means migrating the line in first.

|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
