But it has very low {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, and it is tied with {{p|Munchlax}} for the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon. However, it was capable of creating [[Berry Juice]] and eventually valuable [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] in [[Generation II]] if one had it hold a [[Berries (Generation II)#Berry|Berry]].

| style="background: #fff" | Farfetch’d was a novelty Pokémon in the [[Generation I|first generation]] due to the fact it could only be acquired by an in-game [[trade]], though it could be caught in the wild in {{game|Yellow}}. After Generation I, Farfetch'd simply has common typing and dismal stats (none being over 65); in addition, Farfetch'd was given its own unique novelty item, the [[Stat-enhancing item#Stick|Stick]].
