Is Furret Good in Crystal Playthrough?

Fast with a decent TM movepool, but Crystal's combined roster from both Gold and Silver versions means better Normal-types are available sooner. Furret's window closes before Goldenrod. It was brief in Gold and Silver, and it's even shorter here.

Pokemon Crystal

Furret Crystal Guide

  • In Crystal, Furret's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • In Crystal, Furret can work for a story run. 415 BST is average, but Normal typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.

  • In Crystal, Furret has a 415 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Crystal's meta. It works best as a balanced. Shadow Ball with Berserkgene is the standard set.

  • In Crystal, Furret fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 76 Attack. Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • For Crystal, the core moveset is Shadow Ball, Hyper Beam, Dynamicpunch, and Double Edge. Shadow Ball leads at 0% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Furret first appeared in Gold & Silver and has been available in 16 games across 9 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
