Stats & Training
Speed and Sp. Def carry most of Furfrou's stat budget. Defense's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Speed EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Trimming its fluffy fur not only makes it more elegant but also increases the swiftness of its movements.
Historically, in the Kalos region, these Pokémon were the designated guardians of the king.
Furfrou Weakness
Furfrou is weak to Fighting. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Furfrou's special bulk (base 90 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
