How to Get Sirfetch'd in Legends: Z-A
Sirfetch'd isn't available in the wild in Legends: Z-A. Start by transferring Farfetch'd from Red, Yellow, or Brilliant Diamond. The evolution path from Farfetch'd to Sirfetch'd is covered in the steps below.
Sirfetch'd Guide
For Legends: Z-A, we rate Sirfetch'd C-Tier: a niche pick in Legends: Z-A's meta. At 507 BST, it fits the cannon role. Firstimpression with Leek is the standard set.
In Legends: Z-A, watch for Aerodactyl (Flying), Espeon (Psychic), and Sylveon (Fairy) when using Sirfetch'd. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.
Steadfast raises Speed one stage upon flinching. That's the one you want on Sirfetch'd. Scrappy is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Sirfetch'd is a physical attacker with base 135 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a cannon.
For Legends: Z-A, Sirfetch'd has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Flying, Psychic, and Fairy-type attackers hit hardest.
Game Availability
Sirfetchd joined the series in Sword & Shield and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
