Thoughts?!

Article linked!

It's... exclusive to Pokemon Sword. That's a bit lame imo. :<

Starry Windy September 18th, 2019 5:17 AM

Hmm. So the newly revealed Sirfetch'd is Pokémon Sword exclusive, eh? This makes me wonder if there will be some evolutions that are exclusive to Pokémon Shield as well. Still, at least I'm glad Farfetch'd now got a new evolution.

Sheep September 18th, 2019 5:19 AM

English site updated as well! https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/sirfetchd/

The signature move sounds so cool. <3

this actually pushes me a bit closer to buying Sword, but I'm waiting to see what other version exclusives get revealed :o

pkmin3033 September 18th, 2019 5:41 AM

It's alright, but...Fighting? Fighting types are universally garbage, and it still looks like a bird...with a vegetable weapon. Someone dropped the ball here.

Rengoku September 18th, 2019 5:46 AM

I hope Dunsparce get an evolution too and Shield exclusive, perhaps.

Soaring Sid September 18th, 2019 6:32 AM

This one looks awesome,imo! By the way, it's signature attack Meteor Assault has recharge, so it has a signature 150 power move... Wonder what we'll be getting for the shield exclusive?

That, and it's pretty weird considering Farfetch'd's type being Normal/Flying. I'd personally rather have Sirfetch'd sharing its type combination with Hawlucha (Fighting/Flying) instead of being a pure Fighting.

Janp September 18th, 2019 7:01 AM

Yep, that's pretty much how I imagined ti would look. Sadly it's Sword exclusive. I hope GF won't make it hard for me to decide which version to eventually pick.

Rengoku September 18th, 2019 7:10 AM

I suppose they can no longer fly because the shield and the huge sword weighed them down.

LilyGardy September 18th, 2019 7:14 AM

Whilst an evolution for Farfetch'd is nice considering how it's been the butt of jokes for 20 years or so. Can't see myself ever using it though.

Pure Fighting is not the most exciting typing. Perhaps it could have been Fighting/Grass or even Fighting/Normal.

I wonder what Shield will get. A Corsola evolution maybe.

The Bellossom boi September 18th, 2019 7:34 AM

The noble bird is tributed.

Sirfetch’d September 18th, 2019 8:35 AM

I love him

Neon Pink September 18th, 2019 8:57 AM

I love him too, but before this reveal, I had a dream about this news. I liked the way it looked better in my dream. Regardless still cool!

Sabrewulf238 September 18th, 2019 9:08 AM

I wasn't sure about his smug look at first (it seemed kind of awkward) but it's grown on me. I really like the design of the lance and shield.

Kind of funny how it's exclusive to Sword when it has a shield but not a sword....

I'm just worried about if Farfetch'd needs to be in Sword in order to evolve. That would be annoying. (at least Lycanroc still evolves into something no matter what version) Hopefully Farfetch'd is just exclusive to Sword and it can still evolve when traded to Shield.

Stokesma September 18th, 2019 9:32 AM

I'm glad they finally revealed the glitch from the Sword and Shield website.
Sirfetch'd looks cool and smug haha. It's nice they gave an evolution but I never thought Farfetch'd needed one.
It's pretty interesting that it is a Sword exclusive. That's unfortunate for me since I'm getting Shield 😩

Shiva2932 September 18th, 2019 10:28 AM

pure fighting is really unfortunate. It would have been cool to see a grass/steel or something different instead. Still really love it's design, but don't see myself using it personally.

Raticate128 September 18th, 2019 11:18 AM

So they used a Missingno-like glitch to tease a fighting type duck which has nothing to do with Missingno or glitching whatsoever. That's kind of wacky (or maybe even quacky? xD). I like Sirfetch'd's design though!

bobandbill September 18th, 2019 11:23 AM

I like it overall, and it has an amusing facial expression. Less keen on the typing as it's kinda... boring? Fight/Flying we've seen before but only on one other Pokemon, for instance - it'd give it more of a niche at least. Oh well.

Now to see who the Shield exclusive evolution is to parallel Sirfetch'd.

It probably has that base power, but who knows, it could differ from the likes of Hyper Beam.

Indeed. It's over 100 kg, as noted in the article.

Flowerchild September 18th, 2019 12:07 PM

i WILL hug him

thedestinedblade September 18th, 2019 12:29 PM

I like it. Wonder what it's base stats will be? I don't think it'll be gaining any speed carrying around that huge shield. Too bad it's stuck with a not so great ability.

Hopefully it has a better Hidden Ability!

Agreed. I feel like I'm in the minority, but I've always disliked it when pokemon get new evolutions in later generations. Don't particularly know why lol just kind of a pet peeve.

Pyrax September 18th, 2019 3:05 PM

So smug, I love it already, first time since Corviknight that I immediately liked a new Pokemon tbh. Doesn't seem like Sirfetch'd are cooked with their weapons like Farfetch'd - that'd be an unfortunate way to retire. Now all we need is the Shield counterpart.
