Farfetch'd PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Farfetch'd is an iconic Pokémon and highly sought-after by fans because of its popularity. This is where its functionality in the game ends, as it comes with low stats and is a Normal type, giving it no viability in the PvE scene.

⚔️ Raids

A duck? With a leek? Farfetch'd is not built for Raids.

🛡️ Gyms

Low bulk makes it easy fodder for nearly any Gym attacker in Pokémon GO.

Farfetch'd PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Farfetch'd maxes out at only 1397 CP and as such, is underpowered for the Great League. While this limits its viability, it does have a snappy moveset that gives it a few wins against Water types (not Azumarill, Dewgong, or Feraligatr) and Shadow Annihilape. Fun to use but not too strong in the long run.

Farfetch'd is not viable for the Ultra and Master League.

💎 The best PvP moves for Farfetch'd are Fury Cutter, Leaf Blade and Aerial Ace.
