Goh caught Farfetch'd when he was participating in a Pokémon Orienteering competition. During the first two attempts to capture it, Farfetch'd deflected the thrown Poké Balls with its leek. Then, Goh faked it out during the third attempt and caught it while its guard was down.
In JN023, Farfetch'd was one of the Pokémon that suffered from a lack of food at the Cerise Laboratory. Although he decided not to eat its leek, the other Pokémon of Goh were seen wanting to eat, which made it run away from the place in a hurry. In the end, Farfetch'd joined the Institute's other Pokémon to help Goh's three Cascoon of evolve safely.
In JN027, Goh started training Farfetch'd and took it on a trip to the Galar region to watch a World Coronation Series battle. When Ash and Goh encountered a Galarian Farfetch'd, he used Farfetch'd against its regional variant in an attempt to capture it. Despite its best efforts, Farfetch'd was defeated.
