What a sprite.

Answer 1

Farfetch’d-Galar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Scrappy
Level: 5
EVs: 20 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Brave Bird
- Knock Off
- Poison Jab

Fast revenge killer. Close Combat is STAB + hits ghosts with Scrappy. Brave Bird is strong coverage. Knock Off is Psychic coverage. Poison Jab is fairy coverage.

Oof I was sniped by almost the exact same set XD

---

Wow.  Sniped by almost the same set because I had to remember EVs in LC. Only major difference is Life Orb. Oof.

---

@Jhnfui, you can test out moveset EVs on showdown, since they’re pretty confusing.

---

Nah.  I just read this question.

Thanks though.

Ah yes. The question I asked and then I couldn’t understand the answer because I don’t understand that math.

Answer 2

Lead Set

Farfetch’d-Galar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Scrappy
Level: 5
EVs: 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Adamant Nature
IVs: 0 HP / 0 Def / 0 SpD
- Counter
- Defog
- Close Combat
- Knock Off / Poison Jab

Counter + Focus Sash to surprise faster physical attackers. Defog to prevent hazards. Close Combat is STAB + hits ghosts with Scrappy. Knock Off is psychic coverage, but Poison Jab is fairy coverage.

Answer 3

Farfetch’d-Galar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Scrappy
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- Brave Bird
- Poison Jab

This set works wonders in LC. It’s one of the few Pokémon I run a Choice item on in this format, but a Choice Scarf really helps it’s lackluster speed. Scrappy means you don’t have to worry about Ghosts switching into Close Combat. Maxing our Speed and Attack is pretty important, for this set at least. 36 HP is just because you have leftover EVs, and it can help you survive priority (priority is quite common in LC, as far as I’ve seen). Jolly allows you to go as fast as possible. Close Combat is STAB, and it can hit Ghost types due to Scrappy. Knock Off gets rid of items, and it’s great with all of the Eviolite users in LC. Brave Bird is coverage. Poison Jab hits Fairies super effectively.

So... this is the set I use in LC, and it’s pretty good if you ask me.

Answer 4

Farfetch'd @ Life Orb
Scrappy ability
236 Att. 236 Speed. 36 Hp.
Moves
Close Combat
Leaf Blade
Poison Jab/Knock Off
Brave Bird
Explanation.
These EVs max out Farfetch'd Attack And Speed to make him strong enough to dish out plenty of damage with Life Orb boost. Close Combat is STAB, and the other 3 moves provide plenty of coverage. I would prefer Knock Off because it covers Farfetch'd Psychic weakness and helps with those Eviolite users.

Comments

Knock Off is better than Throat Chop because it cripples pokemon that rely on items like Eviolite Ferroseed.

---

True.  I'll edit that.  Thanks!

No problem! :)

Answer 5

Gen 8 LC

Farfetch’d-Galar @ Leek
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off / Night Slash
- Poison Jab
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance

A new form for Farfetch'd was really nice, giving this thing something to finally work with. Now, Leek boost this Pokemon's critical hit ratio by +2, which lets this bird be a power house. Scrappy allows Fighting moves to hit Ghost type Pokemon, because after one Knock Off that move isn't really good. Adamant Nature to hit harder. Knock Off prevents Eviolite mons from stalling as much, which is amazing to have. Night Slash has a high critical hit ratio which allows even more crits to happen and it is coverage. Poison Jab for Fairy coverage. Close Combat for STAB and Swords Dance too boost your attack.

Hope you enjoy this moveset!

Comments

You mention having Night Slash, but it isn't in the moveset.

---

It gets it as an egg move.

---

User means you put Knock Off in the moveset even though you mention Night Slash.

---

The set says Leaf blade instead of Night Slash

---

Still no reason for leaf blade

---

@Anchor Oh I see, thanks!
@Ferarri You might be right, but it does have a very high crit ratio and is the only thing that can hit fairies

---

Galarian Fartfetch'd has access to Poison Jab for Fairy types

---

Well then that's better, thanks!
