How to Evolve Galarian Farfetch’d into Sirfetch’d
The first step to getting is a Sirfetch’d is tocatch a Galarian Farfetch’d.Fortunately, the Farfetch’d can both be found in the Wild and acquired fromPokemon GO’s 7km eggs. Once players have their Galarian Farfetch’d, they’ll need tomake it their BuddyusingPokemon GO’s Buddy system.
With the Galarian Farfetch’d as their Buddy, players will next need toland10 Excellent throwsin order to unlock the Sirfetch’d evolution. This is the hardest kind of throw, and requires players to hit the smallest version of the circle when catching a Pokemon. Fortunately, players won’t need to do all 10 throws in a row, so it should only be a matter of time to get all 10.
To speed up the process, try and focus on Pokemon that have a larger base throwing circle, or are more sluggish in their movements. Feeding the targetPokemon a Nanab Berrywill stop it from moving, making it much easier to catch on the next attempt.Once players have managed to land their 10 Excellent throws, they will be able to evolve Galarian Farfetch’d in the normal way using 50 Candies.
Best Sirfetch’d Movesets in Pokemon GO
Like its unevolved form Galarian Farfetch’d, Sirfetch’d is a pure Fighting-type Pokemon. This means it’s resistant to Bug, Dark, and Rock, but weak to Fairy, Flying, and Psychic. Itsbest Fighting movesare particularly strong against Dark, Ice, Normal, Rock, and Steel Pokemon, but less effective against Bug, Fairy, Flying, Poison, and Psychic-types. Meanwhile, Ghost-types are completely immune to Fighting moves.
To avoid over-specializing in Fighting, the best moveset for Sirfetch’d is the combination ofCounter and Brave Bird,orCounter and Leaf Blade.These sets add Flying andGrass-type damageinto Sirfetch’d’s arsenal, allowing the Wild Duck Pokemon to deal with a wider range of potential adversaries.
