Farfetch'd, the Pokémon Selvanatra of the first generation, has finally obtained theevolution that he wanted so much in Pokémon Sword and Shield. To do this he had to undergo a transformation and became one regional variant of Galar, switching from the Normal / Flying type to the Fighting type.
Farfetch'd is a Pokémon exclusive to Pokémon Sword and evolves into Sirfetch'd reached a particular condition. Farfetch'd evolves in a unique and fortunate way: you have to land three bad hits (or critical hits) in a row, and the Pokémon must stay alive at the end of the battle to tell it. Bad hits are marked in the game with the color red and have the particularity of doing more damage than normal as it multiplies the damage and ignores the stat changes. The possibility of a bad shot depends on various invisible factors that don't interest us - the only thing that matters to us at the moment is how to increase this probability and get Farfetch'd to do three bad shots in a row by asking the blindfolded Goddess as little help as possible.
Where to catch Farfetch'd
First, of course, you need to catch Farfetch'd, in case you haven't caught it yet. In Pokémon Sword, Galar's Farfetch'd is on Route 5, immediately after Turrfield, and appears in thetall grass. It's easily seen due to the large leek stem it trailing behind, much thicker than the original Farfetch'd, so it's not part of the exclamation point encounters. It is not possible to encounter Sirfetch'd in the wild.
Once captured you have to check that you have the Shank tool with you, which doubles Farfetch'd's chances of dealing a bad blow. If you have a Pokémon with Investigation like Gothita, Phantump, Pumpkaboo, Noibat, Impidimp and Evolutions or Orbeetle, it will tell you the Farfetch'd own the item you are looking for or not. Otherwise there is the Steal move or the most spartan method of all, that is to capture Farfetch'd until someone has the Stem with them.
How to evolve Farfetch'd into Sirfetch'd
Once you get the item it will become much easier to evolve Farfetch'd into Sirfetch'd, but to make things even easier you can teach it Focalenergia, which increases the chance of making a bad shot even more. The Focus Energy Tech Disc (DT13) will be given to you by an NPC a Steamington who sells music records. The technical discs break after use, but don't worry: just do some Raid Dynamax to get back in possession of this and other DTs. Alternatively, you can buy the tool Supercolpo at the Pokémon Market in Galar.
At this point Farfetch'd will have become a bad hit machine, so you need to find an opponent with as many Pokémon as possible or find a tough wild Pokémon. In the first case we recommend that you save your game before facing the trainer and maybe try again. We also recommend equipping Farfetch'd with the weakest attack he has, Peck, a flying move that he needs to inflict as little damage as possible and allows the chaining of bad shots. It is possible to re-teach it from the Reminder in Pokémon Centers.
With a little patience and these precautions you will have a Sirfetch'd in no time at all and once you reach a certain level it will learn its peculiar move. Sfolgorassalto, practically a Fighting-type Gigaimpatto. Sirfetch'd is a Pokémon with a scary attack certainly useful for the main adventure of Pokémon Sword.
“Farfetch'd of the Galar region can evolve into Sirfetch'd after going through so many battles. They are calm and poised, and for them to fight fairly is a fundamental principle. They are so distinguished by their nobility in the struggle that they are often chosen as subjects of paintings. He takes great care of his stem, more than anything else, and keeps it with him for many, many years. When this fades, Sirfetch'd abandons the field, retiring forever from the struggle. "
