Furret technically meets our requirements to title the video "BAD" because it doesn't have a niche even in the lowest tiers in almost every generation. However, I think "How UNFORTUNATE" is more fitting since its bad but it isn't meant to be strong like Regigigas or Slaking. Also, its so darn cute, its unfortunate its so bad.
Not sure, ferrets are adorable and domesticable, easy to have as a pet in a world full of wild animals. We don't have that many options when it comes to the animal kingdom. But in the pokémon world all of them can be tamed and trained to be your partner and follow your orders, you can even have pokémons that look like dragons and feral beasts as a pet, not to talk about the plethora of extremely cute and fluffy creatures human designed to be that way. My guess is that Furret would be popular just in a very specific niche, as all pokémon would.
@@alexpf925 Yeah, you're right that it'd have a lot of competition, but you do need to remember that people that didn't really care about being a trainer wouldn't have access to the really cool mons because most of them don't live in easy to access places. And besides, Sentret are really easy to catch in the regions where they appear and they evolve into Furret relatively quickly, which would make it really easy for people to just catch them and trade/sell them.
Walk --- attack --- acuaracy Status / Physical If user attack first, decrease speed then increase attack. If user attack last, counters with 2.5 times attack
And the weird thing is, there is someone at Game Freak that knows how dire Furret's situation is and it's desperate to make it stand out, look at its moveset on its latest appearence: * It learns Me First and Hyper Voice despite Furret not being fast or with enough Sp. Atk for those moves * It learns Follow Me and Helping Hand, Double battle-exclusive moves * Its evolution move (usually reserved for Pokémon-defining moves like Chesnaught's Spiky Shield) is... Agility. My guess is that it's supposed to be a Baton Passer as it learns Agility, Amnesia and most recently Coil. I genuinely belive giving Furret Friend Guard would straight up fix most (realistically, some) of its problems at make it at least worth considering.
The Devs don't care about Competetive, they just want to give Furret moves that make sense for it to be able to perform, they don't really care what we do with that and how we craft strats around a Mons movepool, they just put attacks there that make sense in their minds to them for the animal or monster to perform in the wild and Pokémon universe. That's why Chansey learns Egg Bomb and Softboiled f.e., not because the Devs wanted for us to make it "a bulky wall" or whatever the nerdy geeks say but rather because it has an Egg in its pouch, so yeah. Simple.
Its not supposed to be a Baton Passer, its supposed to be Furret, a furry Pocket Monster that's cute and would make sense living in the wild fantasy Pokémon world.
For example, Drifblim didn't get the ability Aftermath because "it's useful in Competetive", it got it for this reason (in the Devs' minds): It's a balloon filled with hot air that explodes on impact when it pops and therefore harms the attacker. Also the reason why it learns the attack Explosion. Simple really. The Developers didn't really care so much about any Competetive B.S. they gave PkMn moves, abilities, designs and names that made sense to them within the fantasy universe. What we in competetive play do with all of that is our choice and nothing else. Rarely are those ever the core reason a Pokémon's gameplay in that sense is how it is.
I'm fairly certain Furret's height is actually supposed to be its length, measured from head to tail like a snake. It's the same reason why Pokemon like Ekans, Arbok, Dratini, Dragonair, and Dunsparce are so freakishly tall in the Pokedex.
Furret's pokedex entry Furret, the walking pokemon. A ground type. Furret has been and still is on an escalator until diamond and pearl remakes are released.
Wouldn't something like a Magikarp with only splash be better anyways? Poor Furret can't even have a niche of being useless because there's more useless Pokémon out there :( Still cute tho
Honestly, while playing Soulsilver Furret wasn't that bad: I just used him to revenge-kill most of the gymleader's mons with the following move-set and hold item depending on their weakness: -Fire Punch (combined with Charcoal against Jasmine, Jeanine and Price) -Thunder Punch (combined with Magnet against Clair and Misty) -Ice Punch (combined with Nevermeltice against Erica and Lance) -Cut (because I had to cut down trees...lol) I just hope Furret returns in New Pokemon Snap, because it sure is a cute mon!
Furret was pretty good in the story. His wide move pool gave him a niche as a scout and your Sentret will accumulate almost as many EV's as your starter. I'll never forget beating Whitney at her own game with defense curl + rollout on Clefairy then 1 shotting Miltank.
ok but couldn't you use literally any fighting type in the game to get those same moves (minus cut I guess, lol) but with actually decent attacking stats?
Furret needs a Normal-Ghost type regional variant with higher Attack and Speed, and a signature physical Ghost move with 120 power that involves walking cutely and then striking.
Instead of giving it 120 base power move instead (in my opinion) based off the description of the move you provided, I would make it a 70 base power move that always crits or a 90 base power move with the same effects as throat chop.
@Blood It doesn't help Obstagoon is essentially a normal/dark type done right while Alolan Raticate was the "failed" experiment of that type combination.
@@lynxfresh5214 Yeah, Alolan Raticate looks cool but good thing they created the way better Obstagoon, despite the Fighting weakness, Normal-Dark is pretty good offensively. At least Goon can survive a couple hits and it has good Speed and abilities.
I'm actually glad that Furret got Tidy Up in Scarlet and Violet. It's still bad, but at least it can do SOMETHING with getting rid of hazards and boosting it's more significant stats.
Always got this guy and the Linoone evolution line mixed up. Even in this video, I was waiting for the moment Furret would get belly drum and everything would turn around for it. Nooope.
He is desperately bad, yet I remember having him as my ace during my first playtrough of HGSS (He had charge beam / dig / quick in its movepool and was doing just fine). It will always have a special place in my heart
New Ability: Scout: After performing a move that makes contact with the opponent, the user will switch out. Also, give it Extreme Speed and Fake Out. This would it at least make it viable in lower tiers with some niche uses in OU.
@@flippyflapperson872 yeah our beloved longboi deserved these moves, they make sense. Considering it already has knock off it would be a decent moveset!
Gen 4 remakes will probably bring him back, as the games will most likely include a National Dex given that they are being made by the same team who made Pokemon Home. (which itself has a national dex. They can just port the models on to the switch.)
Update: Furret is actually GOOD in gen 9 ZU. Life Orb+Tidy Up+Tera Normal Double-Edge is a OHKO on a horrifying amount of ZU. Pokémon, and any that aren't 2 or 3HKO'd have to fear Knock Off or Play Rough. So long story short, Furret's new niche is effectively blowing itself up.
@@zubair-rp1ie Typing doesn't matter much to be honest. Furret can learn all HMs except Fly, Waterfall and Rock climb, so it does work excellently as an HM slave.
To believe that even something like Raticate, of all possible things, was BETTER than Furret, just goes to show how bad it truly was. I always knew it wasn't a very good Pokemon, but I never realized it was quite THIS bad. .............And yet, somehow, I'm not even really surprised by this revelation.
I actually used a Furret in VGC 14. It had Sucker Punch, Follow Me, Helping Hand, Protect. It was able to take a HH Garchomp EQ. Snagged me a few wins because it caught people off guard
YES MY FAVORITE POKÉMON. Caught him in Colosseum and just kept using him till the end. He was actually able to clean up Evice’s Slaking before it could run rampant.
Here's an idea for a Furret buff, if it could be given a fourth ability: It's apparently good at hunting, so give it a brand new Trapper ability which doubles its power output against a target that's under a binding/trapping move, and can also increase the residual damage. Then actually give it a binding move, like Wrap or something. For a lark, let it stack with Binding Band so that it deals 1/4 damage after every turn.
I think it will still just get one-shot by whatever it is trapping. It needs an ability that changes trapping moves into gen1 wrap. So someone who is trapped can not get a move at all while trapped. That would be fun and make it viable. Maybe.
@@LivingNihilism That wouldn't be fun at all, gen 1 wrap is one of the most hated battle mechanics in history, anything that even remotely resembles it would be hated as well.
@@3.2187_Kilometres How about tying it in to flinching? give furret a hight flinch rate move and an ability, that doubles his flinch rate on trapped targets, or gives X percent extra. Make the move normal type so ghosts and faster enemies are immune. Seems good to me.
@@LivingNihilism So now Furret is just a very bad serene grace user, even with this "buff" Furret would still be awful, it needs a buff to its base stats more than a gimmicky move or ability.
Uh oh, we all know exactly what we’re getting into here even if the title DIDN’T say “how *BAD* was Furret ACTUALLY?” Still interested to hear what this guy is capable of in the lower tiers, if anything...
@@MidoseitoAkage I know it's been forced into UU several times and has made the best of what it could do, but I really wanna see in full detail what were its struggles and best uses
Maybe give furret a unique move called “Strut” or “Fancy walk” or something. Which would raise furret’s speed one stage while confusing the opponent. Maybe it will see some use with baton pass then.
To buff Furret, I would give it the same imaginary ability i would give Aipom: Extra Hold. Allows the user to hold an extra item at the cost of cutting speed or attack in half. Good for consumable items, as it becomes analogous to a Slow Start that you can choose when to pick up momentum.
They should make it a normal/ground type and increase it's speed to 140 as the Pokédex states that it's very quick but reduce its attack by 10. Also, give it the ability: Walk Walk will increase it's defense stat by 1 stage for 4 turns after using 4 moves in battle and it's next turn will always move first.
It's weird how you missed a very specific but important role Furret played in vgc (when he was allowed) We all know how follow me is an important move in doubles and Furret, who learns it, could use in a very interesting way: it was one of the only pokemon - if not the only one - who could... teach it to lucario via egg. At least, Furret is generous
Really glad he mentioned the killer nacho I was a huge fan back in the day it’s a shame he doesn’t do much now but it made me happy to see Dustbuster for 10 minutes
Easy Mega Furret: Normal/Ground Ability: Huge Power HP: 85 Attack: 116 Defense: 74 Special Attack: 45 Special Defense: 70 Speed: 125 Big boosts to its best stats and a very minor increase in overall bulk.
Furret buffs! New ability: Can Walk: whenever furret makes contact with a move it raises its speed by one stage. New move: Walk Fast: 60 bp / 32 pp / 100 acc / physical / contact / bypasses substitute / 0 priority / normal type. If this move connects the user avoids the next attack. New item: Metronome: wait, this one isnt new, but still, itll be perfect for our boy to keep up his pace and walk all over his enemies.
This thing would shoot up in the tiers if it got Huge Power. That attack stat would be higher than 540 if it was adamant. It wouldn't quite cut it for OU because of its lackluster speed and bulk, but that sheer power would make it usable in probably UU or RU.
I love furret i always imagined keeping it on my shoulders, then i found out they are like five feet long... Edit: Oh its 5'11 I wrote the comment before watching
Absurd Furret buffs in the comments? Step 1: Make Furret a Ground-type. Step 2: Remove the Baton Pass clause. Step 3: Put a Physical Sweeper on the team (idc which) Step 4: Furret @ Salac Berry Ability: Frisk EVs: 204 HP / 26 Def / 26 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Coil - Endure - Baton Pass - Body Slam Step 5: Profit (?)
Despite how bad Furret is, it somehow became one of my most important Pokemon in a Pokemon Crystal Nuzlocke I did. Her name was Scout, and she managed to take down all three of Clair's Dragonairs, and barely survived a huge hit from her Kingdra, guaranteeing that the battle was safe for Red Gyarados to come out and take over. And how could I ever forget how she flinched all of Sabrina's Pokemon with Headbutt, getting me through the battle without her taking a single hit? While she may not have done anything past that, I could never forget the amazing feats that she pulled off before she was retired safely in the PC. The world of Pokemon is quite the peculiar one at times.
Furret technically meets our requirements to title the video "BAD" because it doesn't have a niche even in the lowest tiers in almost every generation. However, I think "How UNFORTUNATE" is more fitting since its bad but it isn't meant to be strong like Regigigas or Slaking. Also, its so darn cute, its unfortunate its so bad.

@@3.2187_Kilometres I am just theory crafting with the theme of the original comment. If you dont like that, then thats your thing.
Uh oh, we all know exactly what we’re getting into here even if the title DIDN’T say “how *BAD* was Furret ACTUALLY?”
Still interested to hear what this guy is capable of in the lower tiers, if anything...
Oh lol the video title has changed. Poor Furret, man.
@@SSB_Seal furret is a regional rodent so it's weak purposely
You should see Furret’s Shiny Form; I love the strawberry and cream colors! And by the way, how good was Sylveon actually??
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first bit with that "furret rose to OU" XD
Furret: [continues to walk *LIKE A GOD DAMN CHAMP* ]
FSG’s video production has gone so far up since the first few vids that fucking Furret has a longer video than all of the Gen 1 Starters
We’ve had Raticate, now Furret, it’s time.... How GOOD was Linoone (and Obstagoon?) ACTUALLY?
Pretty decent. Not a high tier, but at least, Linoone have some good tool.
@@MidoseitoAkage I know it's been forced into UU several times and has made the best of what it could do, but I really wanna see in full detail what were its struggles and best uses
You forgot bibarrel, thank you i hate him.
How good was Furret ACTUALLY?
*Accumula Town theme intensifies*
Yup
@FlamingKomapoda84 bruh c
@FlamingKomapoda84 eh, dunno why they suggest to a min that sucks in competitive :/
@FlamingKomapoda84 memes are mostly weak characters in this case Pokemon, lmao even dubwool is sit
Maybe give furret a unique move called “Strut” or “Fancy walk” or something. Which would raise furret’s speed one stage while confusing the opponent. Maybe it will see some use with baton pass then.
To buff Furret, I would give it the same imaginary ability i would give Aipom: Extra Hold. Allows the user to hold an extra item at the cost of cutting speed or attack in half. Good for consumable items, as it becomes analogous to a Slow Start that you can choose when to pick up momentum.
They should make it a normal/ground type and increase it's speed to 140 as the Pokédex states that it's very quick but reduce its attack by 10. Also, give it the ability: Walk
Walk will increase it's defense stat by 1 stage for 4 turns after using 4 moves in battle and it's next turn will always move first.
Ability wanderer : This pokemon walk a lot and he's healthy , he can't be statused
Who else remembers in the anime when Misty called Furret A ground type?
If there's one thing about Furret, it did end up being so absurdly overpowered in GSC PU, that it ended up becoming PUBL
Will always remember this mon as Dustbuster. The Killer Nacho's Gen 4 videos were my first introduction to comp.
When you're outclassed by normal Farfetch'd you know there's a problem.
I used a Furret on my OR randomizer, the coverage he learned was crazy, one of the moves is Dragon Rush 😂
Fortunately, Furret is top tier in cuteness.
And, who knows, Furret might come back with a vengeance someday.
But it useless compared to the powerful one such Landorus Therian Form.
Furret was always one of my favorite pokemon, and using it was the reason I got into competitive. Just trying to use it
Furret : Who are you?
Raticate: I am you but better.
Buffs for furret: +20 attack, +5 speed, swords dance, and extreme speed. Probably all it needs to get a niche in PU
Loved how he changed it up. "Regrettably" as opposed to unfortunately when the video started.
i perspnally would triple all it's stats and give it "furret walk" witch it a base 200 power normal type move and i'd also give it wonder guard
So basically an Evolution?
@@autobotstarscream765 That would be overkill
@@cespu_iv4519 I know, that's the joke...I presume OP is joking. 😅
@@autobotstarscream765 lol
Sounds good to me.
Idk anything about competitive but in my playthrough of Gold, it was my MVP. Even took down Jasmine’s Steelix with a super effective surf.
They couldn't add Kecleon in Gen IX? Fine, I am glad they added Sentret, and Furret.
tfw a pokemon is an iconic face in a town music thats not even from its original gen
It's weird how you missed a very specific but important role Furret played in vgc (when he was allowed)
We all know how follow me is an important move in doubles and Furret, who learns it, could use in a very interesting way: it was one of the only pokemon - if not the only one - who could... teach it to lucario via egg. At least, Furret is generous
Never have I been more sad to say "this was hard to watch" than now.
Should have been a joke video like Delibird's, of him walking across the generations, or something like that.
Lol when a joke about it being overpowered in OU dosen't even work with how depressing its story is.
That what I'm thinking
Really glad he mentioned the killer nacho I was a huge fan back in the day it’s a shame he doesn’t do much now but it made me happy to see Dustbuster for 10 minutes
Easy Mega Furret:
Normal/Ground
Ability: Huge Power
HP: 85
Attack: 116
Defense: 74
Special Attack: 45
Special Defense: 70
Speed: 125
Big boosts to its best stats and a very minor increase in overall bulk.
The most important Furret fact, it can walk.
Needs an update, Furret was OU for a month
See, this is exactly why I'll never get into competitive, all my favorite Pokemon SUCK 😭
I guess that's why Furret hunts Rattata: To prevent it from evolving because it would lose.
meanwhile a fangame adding fusion furret making it stupidly OP:
how could you do my ground type man like that, bro
Misty approves this message
"I figured a ground type pokemon would be strong against an electric type"
I don’t care how bad Furret is, I’m using it in every playthrough of Colosseum.
*ITS THE LAW*
Furret buffs!
New ability: Can Walk: whenever furret makes contact with a move it raises its speed by one stage.
New move: Walk Fast: 60 bp / 32 pp / 100 acc / physical / contact / bypasses substitute / 0 priority / normal type. If this move connects the user avoids the next attack.
New item: Metronome: wait, this one isnt new, but still, itll be perfect for our boy to keep up his pace and walk all over his enemies.
Nah
walk funny! funny rodent walk HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA Like if you LOL'd!
Yah they would nerf walk fast as soon as it's released
I ran a gen 6 pu furret to great success actually. The fact it gets coil and substitute along with dynamicpunch and knock off is quite deadly
Im so happy you mentioned Dust Buster Lol
When I saw the stats I immediatly thought "he needs Huge Power". It would be so cool if he got a regional form and/or evolution like his bro Linoone.
This thing would shoot up in the tiers if it got Huge Power. That attack stat would be higher than 540 if it was adamant. It wouldn't quite cut it for OU because of its lackluster speed and bulk, but that sheer power would make it usable in probably UU or RU.
@@Gojira_uz After And they would deserve it
Huge Power would make this thing so good. If Diggersby can get it Huge Power, why not Furret?
@@rjante2236 bruh
Heonn Linoone did well in RU at least
FSG: puts unfortunate in the title
Literally everyone watching: I see this as an absolute win
I love furret i always imagined keeping it on my shoulders, then i found out they are like five feet long...
Edit: Oh its 5'11 I wrote the comment before watching
That last line was just BRUTAL
Furret goes in the category of mons I just forget exist
Absurd Furret buffs in the comments?
Step 1: Make Furret a Ground-type.
Step 2: Remove the Baton Pass clause.
Step 3: Put a Physical Sweeper on the team (idc which)
Step 4:
Furret @ Salac Berry
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 204 HP / 26 Def / 26 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Coil
- Endure
- Baton Pass
- Body Slam
Step 5: Profit (?)
Be out class as a baton pass user by Scolipede
The fact that it’s 5 foot 11 may actually make it cuter just imagine it as a scarf
With or without the skeleton?
@@victorsandeen2694 Alive, of course!
@@autobotstarscream765 ... NGL the fur would be top tier
Top tier pokémon at walking, if only it has 10 extra points in attack...
Or maybe 40
I look forward to Sunday for these types of videos
Despite how bad Furret is, it somehow became one of my most important Pokemon in a Pokemon Crystal Nuzlocke I did.
Her name was Scout, and she managed to take down all three of Clair's Dragonairs, and barely survived a huge hit from her Kingdra, guaranteeing that the battle was safe for Red Gyarados to come out and take over. And how could I ever forget how she flinched all of Sabrina's Pokemon with Headbutt, getting me through the battle without her taking a single hit?
While she may not have done anything past that, I could never forget the amazing feats that she pulled off before she was retired safely in the PC. The world of Pokemon is quite the peculiar one at times.
