LC Galarian Farfetch'd

[Stoward]

[OVERVIEW]
Galarian Farfetch'd is a very threatening wallbreaker in LC thanks to its decent Attack stat and Speed tier. Powerful attacks in Close Combat and Brave Bird combined with its ability Scrappy also provide it with perfect neutral coverage. It also has impressive coverage options in Knock Off and Poison Jab; the former allows it to remove items, and the latter allows it to effectively pressure Spritzee. Its Speed tier also allows it to outspeed a good portion of the unboosted metagame and act as an effective Choice Scarf user, as it's able to most notably outspeed Choice Scarf Vullaby and +1 Corphish. However, Galarian Farfetch'd is greatly threatened by Pokemon that naturally outspeed it such as Ponyta, Galarian Ponyta, and Wingull, which can all either dish out heavy damage to it or cripple it with burns from Will-O-Wisp or Scald. Furthermore, Galarian Farfetch'd faces competition from Timburr, which offers better role compression and a semi-reliable recovery with Drain Punch, while Galarian Farfetch'd boasts access to Swords Dance and a better Speed tier.

Moves
========

Swords Dance turns Galarian Farfetch'd into a powerful sweeper. Close Combat is Galarian Farfetch'd's main attacking move, dishing out heavy damage to neutral targets, while Brave Bird hits common Fighting-resistant Pokemon such as Oddish as well as Fighting-types like Timburr and opposing Galarian Farfetch'd for super effective damage. Knock Off is used to remove items from opposing Pokemon, making it easier to break through them.

Set Details
========

Maximum Attack and Speed EVs alongside a Jolly nature ensure that that Galarian Farfetch'd Speed ties threats such as Vullaby and Pawniard and hits them as hard as possible. The remaining EVs are placed in HP alongside an Eviolite to provide Galarian Farfetch'd with extra bulk and give it more opportunities to use Swords Dance. Scrappy enables Galarian Farfetch'd to hit Ghosts-types such as Frillish with Close Combat, allowing it to use the move with little drawback.

Usage Tips
========

While there are a large number of foes that Galarian Farfetch'd is able to beat one-on-one, it doesn't really appreciate switching in on most of the foes that beat it, as they can remove its Eviolite with Knock Off or cripple it with status from Body Slam or Thunder Wave. Bringing it in after a teammate has been KOed, through U-turn from Vullaby, or on a well-predicted double switch is recommended to avoid having Galarian Farfetch'd be in undesirable situations. Galarian Farfetch'd is better off attacking foes early-game, as using a single attack to break through teams can also bluff Choice Scarf sets. Early-game, Knock Off should be used to remove items from opposing Pokemon to make it easier for Galarian Farfetch'd to sweep. Once everything is in range of Galarian Farfetch'd's boosted attacks, it should try to look for an opportunity to set up on a Pokemon that matches up poorly against it, such as Munchlax, Ferroseed, or Pawniard, and proceed to sweep through the opposing team.

Team Options
========

Swords Dance Farfetch'd does well on a variety of teams due to most of its checks and counters generally having a difficult time actively switching into it. Sticky Web support from Dewpider is fantastic for Galarian Farfetch'd, as it allows it to outspeed the entire unboosted tier, making it incredibly difficult to switch into. Ferroseed is an especially useful partner, as it's able to potentially offer Spikes support while also being one of the most consistent checks to Spritzee and potentially immobilizing faster threats such as Ponyta and Galarian Ponyta with Thunder Wave. Pawniard's and Onix's resistance to Flying-type attacks is also incredibly appreciated by Galarian Farfetch'd, as they provide the team with a much-needed switch-in to Vullaby. VoltTurn support from Chinchou and Vullaby is very useful to make it easier for Galarian Farfetch'd to enter the battlefield. Trapping support from Diglett is also greatly appreciated by Galarian Farfetch'd, as they can both assist each other in removing Mareanie, and Diglett is also able to utilize its Speed tier to trap and remove faster threats such as Ponyta and Galarian Ponyta, making Galarian Farfetch'd harder to revenge kill.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

Poison Jab allows Farfetch'd to dish out heavy damage to Spritzee. Final Gambit can be used as a suicide option, allowing Galarian Farfetch'd to trade with an opposing Pokemon. Defog is also a viable option over Poison Jab, allowing Galarian Farfetch'd to act as an entry hazard remover.

Set Details
========

Maximum Attack and Speed EVs alongside a Jolly nature ensure that Galarian Farfetch'd outspeeds the entire unboosted tier with a Choice Scarf, as well as neutral-natured Choice Scarf Vullaby, while hitting as hard as possible. The remaining EVs are placed in HP to provide Galarian Farfetch'd with extra bulk. Scrappy is the ability of choice, giving Galarian Farfetch'd perfect neutral coverage with Close Combat and Brave Bird.

Usage Tips
========

Choice Scarf Galarian Farfetch'd is used primarily as a revenge killer. It is important that Galarian Farfetch'd avoids switching in directly on attacks and is instead brought in once its teammates are KOed or with VoltTurn support from Chinchou or Vullaby. It's especially important to consider what moves Choice Scarf Galarian Farfetch'd is locking itself into, as Close Combat has low PP, and Galarian Farfetch'd is quite vulnerable to being KOed in return if it fails to land a KO with Close Combat due to the drops in Defense and Special Defense, while the recoil damage from Brave Bird can result in Galarian Farfetch'd being worn down rather quickly. Poison Jab should only really be used against Spritzee, as being locked into the move can result in Galarian Farfetch'd giving away free opportunities for Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Pawniard to set entry hazards while also providing Pawniard with the opportunity to set up with Swords Dance freely.

Team Options
========

Vullaby and Chinchou are useful partners for Galarian Farfetch'd, as their VoltTurn support makes it easier for it to switch into the battlefield, while both partners can appreciate Galarian Farfetch'd's ability to remove Ferroseed and Pawniard as well as Onix after some chip damage. Vullaby is an especially noteworthy partner, as its Knock Off makes Galarian Farfetch'd's job easier by removing additional bulk from Mareanie, Koffing, and Spritzee. Ferroseed is especially useful as well, as it's able to potentially offer Spikes support while also being one of the most consistent checks to Spritzee. Furthermore, it provides the team with a more reliable answer to Oddish and additional Knock Off support, which makes it easier for Galarian Farfetch'd to break through teams. Wallbreakers such as Corphish and Timburr are valuable partners, as they provide teams with more offensive presence while also having access to priority moves, assisting Galarian Farfetch'd with revenge killing faster foes, which can be especially useful for dealing with Dragon Dance Onix, which outspeeds Galarian Farfetch'd at +1 and is able to KO it with Earthquake.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
========
Galarian Farfetch'd tends to have few other viable options available due to the brilliant coverage that the combination of Close Combat, Brave Bird, and Knock Off offers. A set running Life Orb and Substitute can be run, typically on Sticky Web offense teams to fully utilize Galarian Farfetch'd's Speed tier and allow it to always get a free attack in thanks to Substitute. Berry Juice can be used in place of Eviolite, giving Galarian Farfetch'd a form of passive recovery in exchange for extra bulk. An all-out attacking set can be used, forgoing Swords Dance for Poison Jab or Quick Attack, making Farfetch'd more of a standard wallbreaker rather than a sweeper. Quick Attack is a viable option on the Swords Dance set, allowing it to pick off faster, weakened foes; especially at +2; such as Ponyta, Galarian Ponyta, and Diglett. Defog could be used in place of Swords Dance or in place of Poison Jab on the Choice Scarf set if the role compression requires it. However, Timburr heavily outclasses Galarian Farfetch'd as a Fighting-type Defogger due to it having better bulk and recovery in Drain Punch. Eject Pack can be used as a way to use Close Combat on Mareanie or Spritzee and then trap them with Diglett or Trapinch.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Spritzee**: Spritzee takes minimal damage from an unboosted Brave Bird and can recover it off with Wish and Protect while dishing out heavy damage with Moonblast. It does, however, have to be wary of Knock Off and Poison Jab.

**Faster Wallbreakers**: While it doesn't enjoy switching in on Knock Off, Galarian Ponyta naturally outspeeds Galarian Farfetch'd. Life Orb sets are able to OHKO Galarian Farfetch'd with Psychic, while Eviolite sets do a minimum of 81%. Wingull also KOes Galarian Farfetch'd with Hurricane or can cripple it with burns from Scald. None of them appreciate switching into Knock Off, though.

**Vullaby**: Vullaby is able to survive any unboosted attack, gain a +2 Speed boost thanks to Weak Armor, and OHKO Galarian Farfetch'd in return with Brave Bird.

**Mareanie**: Mareanie can shrug off any attack from Galarian Farfetch'd and recover off the damage. While it doesn't appreciate a boosted Brave Bird, it can set up with Iron Defense, leaving it unfazed by the boosts, as well as potentially burn it with Scald.

**Koffing**: Koffing has enough natural bulk to take little damage from Brave Bird and is able to cripple Galarian Farfetch'd with Will-O-Wisp.

[ghost]

Overview
- This first sentence read as a little bit of a run-on, you can probably break up this information.

Swords Dance
- GP told me to remove a similar comment about NP boosting SpA, so I'd just say SD enables Farfetch'd to wallbreak and sweep.
- Jolly Vullaby is common, so i would modify this comment that you outspeed Vull to say that you tie Vull and Pawniard.
- Your use of fetchd galar / galarian fetchd / fetchd is inconsistent - I would check what GP said about pony g but i think galarian fectdh is correct
- Replace "ability of choice" with "lets Fetchd hit ghost types with Close Combat" or something similar
- You can condense these sentences about getting fetchd free switches into one
- I don't think this sentence about bb/cc side effects is very necessary
- Instead of saying "Knock Off has the least amount of drawback" and the stuff about CC not killing mons, just say Fetchd should use knock in the early game to remove items from mare/spritzee/koffing
- emphasize Fetchd's role as a wallbreaker in addition to sweeper - it's not that fast and doesn't have great prio, but +2 CC murks stuff
- does SD fetchd do well on that many teams? i think the analysis should communicate that team space for it is limited by its competition and overlap with other fighters like Timburr
- every offensive mons likes hazards, we probably don't need to mention this unless there are some specific calcs with spikes
- i don't think scarf chou is notably better v wingull than juice or evio chou
- team options in general are pretty long, so i would consider what's worth condensing and which mentions might be less necessary

Scarf
- "most power STAB move" fix this
- I think gambit should be slashed with poison jab because of its broader utility and the general inconvenience of choice-locked pjab
- the EV mention should be adjusted to account for Scarf - ie, fetchd outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame and neutral natured scarf Vull
- for some reason this sentence about not having evio bulk is just a dependent clause on its own. I think you can cut this as the reference point is not necessary to point out that fetchd is frail
- instead of saying CC drops can lead to Fetchd getting KOed, say that Scarf Fetchd should be brought in when it can claim a KO for best leverage
- mention that CC can sweep if fighting checks are removed
- break "VoltTurn Support" up into "Volt Switch and U-turn support"
- weird structure here - "Galarian Farfetch'd's ability to remove Ferroseed and Pawniard, and also threaten Onix"
- mention who you want Vullaby knocking off for fetchd - mare, spritzee, etc
- I don't think removing scarves from opposing chou and fetchd is worth a mention, since the former is rare and the latter isn't staying in on Vull most of the time. Use Scarf Vull if you feel this example is necessary
- again, no real need to say rocks help
- These points about prio don't seem specific to Scarf Fetchd

OO
- no need for this first sentence
- instead of "at +2" say "after a Swords Dance"
- condense the Defog sentences, say "Defog is an option if your team does not have space for a different entry hazard remover, but fetchd is heavily outclassed by Timburr in this role due to its relative lack of bulk and recovery"
- mention choice band - band CC kills standard Vull

C&C
- this Spritzee line is not a complete sentence. Mention that Spritzee doesn't fear most of Fetchd's attacks but must be wary of Knock removing its item and Poison Jab
- restructure this last Mareanie sentence - put the stuff about boosted Brave Bird at the end. Mention Knock
- this "faster wallbreaker" point is just about Galarian Pony - I would either include a Wingull mention too or drop this point since neither really wants to switch into Fetchd
- mention Koffing as a check

Misc.
- I think Final Gambit should be slashed with Poison Jab on Scarf and at the very least deserves an OO mention
- Berry Juice should be an OO and potentially an item slash on SD, though I leave this to your discretion
- Mention Eject Pack in OO as a way to CC on Spritzee/Mare and pivot out or trap them

QC 2/3

 

[Coconut]

Galarian Farfetch'd faces competition from Timburr, who offers better role compression, as despite having a worse speed tier, it has a semi-reliable recovery with Drain Punch, while also being able to revenge kill faster foes with Mach Punch and can efficiently remove hazards with Defog.

One too many lines about Timburr, explain the reasoning for using this mon instead of the replacement.

Swords Dance makes it easier for Galarian Farfetch'd to sweep.

Swords Dance turns fetch'd into a sweeper. He does not sweep anything without a boost.

give it some longevity.

A chance to set SD

Scrappy allows Galarian Farfetch'd to hit Ghosts types such as Frillish with Close Combat.

Explain why this is valuable. The set already runs knock off.

Close Combat is Galarian Farfetch'd's most powerful STAB move, dishing out heavy damage to neutral targets.

This is the same line verbatim as the previous mention.

suisDefog

GP's gonna have a fit if you don't fix that.

========

Poison Jab allows Farfetch'd to dish out heavy damage to Spritzee. Final Gambit can be used as a suicide option, allowing for Galarian Farfetch'd to trade with an opposing Pokemon. Defog is also a viable option over Poison Jab, allowing Galarian Farfetch'd to act as an entry hazard remover.

Set Details
========

Maximum Attack and Speed EVs alongside a Jolly nature ensure that Galarian Farfetch'd outspeeds the entire unboosted tier with a Choice Scarf, as well as neutral-natured Choice Scarf Vullaby, while hitting as hard as possible. The remaining EVs are placed in HP to provide Galarian Farfetch'd with extra bulk. Scrappy is the ability of choice, allowing it to have giving Galarian Farfetch'd perfect neutral coverage with Close Combat and Brave Bird.

Usage Tips
========

Choice Scarf Galarian Farfetch'd's job is used primarily as a revenge killer. It is important that Galarian Farfetch'd avoids switching in directly on attacks and is instead brought in once its teammates are KOed or with VoltTurn support from Chinchou or Vullaby. It's especially important to consider what moves Choice Scarf Galarian Farfetch'd is locking itself into, as Close Combat has low PP, and Galarian Farfetch'd is quite vulnerable to being KOed in return if it fails to land a KO with Close Combat due to the drops in Defense and Special Defense, while the recoil damage from Brave Bird can result in Galarian Farfetch'd being worn down rather quickly. Poison Jab should only really be used against Spritzee, as being locked into the move can result in Galarian Farfetch'd being giving away free opportunities for Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Pawniard to set entry hazards while also providing Pawniard with the opportunity to set up with Swords Dance freely.

Team Options
========

Vullaby and Chinchou are useful partners for Galarian Farfetch'd, (AC) as their VoltTurn support makes it easier for it to switch into the battlefield, while both partners can appreciate Galarian Farfetch'd's ability to remove Ferroseed and Pawniard as well as Onix after some chip damage. Vullaby is an especially noteworthy partner, as its access to Knock Off allows it to remove items, which makes Galarian Farfetch'd's job easier by removing additional bulk from Mareanie, Koffing, and Spritzee. Ferroseed is especially useful as well, as it's able to potentially offer Spikes support while also being one of the most consistent checks to Spritzee. Furthermore, it provides the team with a more reliable answer to Oddish and additional Knock Off support, which makes it easier for Galarian Farfetch'd to break through teams. Wallbreakers such as Corphish and Timburr are valuable partners, as they provide teams with more offensive presence while also having access to priority moves, assisting Galarian Farfetch'd with revenge killing faster foes, which can be especially useful for dealing with Dragon Dance Onix, which outspeeds Galarian Farfetch'd at +1 and is able to KO it with Earthquake.

Other Options
========
Galarian Farfetch'd tends to have few other viable options available due to the brilliant coverage that the combination of Close Combat, Brave Bird, and Knock Off offers. A set consisting of a running Life Orb and Substitute can be run, typically on Sticky Web offense teams to fully utilize Galarian Farfetch'd's Speed tier and allow it to always get a free attack in thanks to Substitute. Berry Juice can be used in place of Eviolite, giving Galarian Farfetch'd a form of passive recovery in exchange for extra bulk. An all-out attacking set can be used, forgoing Swords Dance for Poison Jab or Quick Attack, making Farfetch'd more of a standard wallbreaker rather than a sweeper. Quick Attack is a viable option on the Swords Dance set, allowing it to pick off faster, weakened foes; especially at +2; such as Ponyta, Galarian Ponyta, and Diglett. Defog could be used in place of Swords Dance or in place of Poison Jab on the Choice Scarf set if the role compression requires it. However, Timburr heavily outclasses Galarian Farfetch'd as a Fighting-type Defogger due to it having better bulk and recovery in Drain Punch. Eject Pack can be used as a way to use Close Combat on Mareanie or Spritzee and then trap them with Diglett or Trapinch.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Spritzee**: Spritzee takes minimal damage from an unboosted Brave Bird and can recover it off with Wish and Protect while dishing out heavy damage with Moonblast. It does, however, have to be wary of Knock Off and Poison Jab.

**Faster Wallbreakers**: While it doesn't enjoy switching in on Knock Off, Galarian Ponyta naturally outspeeds Galarian Farfetch'd. Life Orb sets are able to OHKO Galarian Farfetch'd with Psychic, while Eviolite sets do a minimum of 81%. Wingull also KOes Galarian Farfetch'd with Hurricane or can cripple it with burns from Scald. None of them appreciate switching into Knock Off, though.

**Vullaby**: Vullaby is able to survive any unboosted attack, gain a +2 Speed boost thanks to Weak Armor, and OHKO Galarian Farfetch'd in return with Brave Bird.

**Mareanie**: Mareanie can shrug off any attack from Galarian Farfetch'd and recover off the damage. While it doesn't appreciate a boosted Brave Bird, it can set up with Iron Defense, (AC) and, as a result, be unphazed leaving it unfazed by the boosts, as well as potentially burn it with Scald. (AP)

**Koffing**: Koffing has enough natural bulk to take little damage from Brave Bird and is able to cripple Galarian Farfetch'd with Will-O-Wisp.
