Easiest Way To Get Sirfetch'd

Pokémon Sword and Shield, similar other recent generations ofPokémon games, includes several regional variants of fan-favorite Pokémon from previous regions. One such Galarian form is of Farfetch'd, the leek-wielding bird originally released in the showtime generation a quarter-century ago.

The Galarian forms Pokémon are also unique from previous regional variants in that some of them have new, unique evolutions, and Galarian Farfetch'd is one of them. This is a guide on how and why players would desire to obtain this evolution, Sirfetch'd, starting with obtaining your own Galarian Farfetch'd.

Galarian Farfetch'd

The first step to getting a Sirfetch'd -- assuming you don't desire to go through a Max Raid Boxing to grab one directly -- is to catch its pre-evolution, Galarian Farfetch'd. Farfetch'd is exclusively available in the wild inPokémon Sword, notPokémon Shield. IfShield players want to get one, they'll have to trade from the game's counterpart. In Sword, Farfetch'd tin be found on Route 5 or in the Wild Area (specifically in the Giant's Mirror expanse during clouded weather). On Route v, they will be between levels 19-21, and in the Wild Expanse they volition range from levels 28-thirty.

Galarian Farfetch'd differs from its Kantonian form in that it is a Fighting-type rather than Normal/Flying-type, and Kantoian Farfetch'd still cannot evolve. The new form is marginally slower also, but it makes up for this speed deficit with an equal increase to its attack stat, giving it a base of operations attack of 95. Its normal power is Steadfast, which boosts its speed each time information technology flinches. Its hidden ability is Scrappy, which allows Normal and Fighting-type attacks to hit Ghost-type Pokémon, which would normally be unaffected by the attacks.

Farfetch'd tin acquire a wide array of moves from various types, although it tends to prefer Fighting, Normal and Flying-blazon moves. This is helpful given Farfetch'd's high set on stat, which means its that most hard-hitting moves will be ones that by and large make physical contact. With this in mind, it is platonic for players to endeavour to catch one with an Adamant nature, which increases the ability of physical attacks at the expense of special ones, which Farfetch'd never learns naturally.

Wild Galarian Farfetch'd also have a 50 percent chance of holding an detail called a Leek, which doubles their critical-hit ratio when held. If possible, effort to catch one is holding a Leek, as this item makes evolving information technology much easier.

Sirfetch'd

After catching a Galarian Farfetch'd, the next step is evolving it. This, however, is easier said than washed. Galarian Farfetch'd doesn't evolve by leveling up, and the procedure needed to evolve it is completely unique to this Pokémon. Galarian Farfetch'd tin can only evolve past landing 3 critical hits in a single battle.

Giving your Galarian Farfetch'd a Leek will actually help here. It'due south besides expert to find a relatively defensive Pokémon and striking information technology with weak moves to assistance ensure it doesn't faint earlier you tin state three critical hits. On Road 5, where Farfetch'd can be found, you can also find Wobbuffet, which are resistant to the Fighting-type movement Rock Blast and can't deal much harm back to your Farfetch'd. This makes them perfect to farm for critical hits. Once you lot land three, you tin can end the boxing, and your Farfetch'd will evolve.

Sirfetch'd retains its Fighting type and its ability. Where it differs drastically from its pre-evolution is its massive stat boosts. Sirfetch'd boasts a tremendous 135 base attack -- to put that in perspective, the average fully-evolved Pokémon simply has 90 -- and an equal boost to its defense force, bringing it upwardly to a respectable 95. It also learns more attacks, most notably the unique Fighting-blazon move Meteor Assail at level 70, which has a staggering 150 assault power. If you take the Island of Armor DLC, you can too utilise the motion tutor to teach it Grassy Glide and Coaching.

Overall, Sirfetch'd is a complete improvement on its pre-evolution. It increases all of its stats and can learn all the same moves with several new ones. The simply reason players may want to stick with Farfetch'd instead of evolving it would be based on advent.
