AI AnalysisUpdated: 2026/07/27

Overview

In singles, it is closer to a niche pick and is used as a Trick Room setter that enables slow attackers through Trick Room. Its main ability is Armor Tail, which blocks priority moves, with Modest/Quiet as common natures and Sitrus Berry as a common item; it is a special set that attacks with Twin Beam, Thunderbolt, and Psychic.

Strengths

Although its S60 is low, it uses HP120 to reliably set Trick Room at high usage. Under Trick Room, it and other slow win conditions can attack from above.
Armor Tail is the standard ability, preventing allies on the field from being hit by priority moves. It effectively nullifies priority such as Sucker Punch and Bullet Punch aimed at the Trick Room setup window, making it more reliable as a setup lead.
With C110 and STAB Normal/Psychic moves, plus broad coverage from sub-weapons like Thunderbolt (Electric) and Dazzling Gleam, it can hit many opponents for neutral or better with Twin Beam and Psychic as its core.
It nullifies Ghost, takes Psychic at 0.5x, and has stable defensive typing with no 4x weakness. Combined with Focus Sash or Sitrus Berry, it can often secure at least one turn of action.

Weaknesses

It carries two major matchup weaknesses, Bug 2x and Dark 2x. High-usage moves such as U-turn, Sucker Punch, and Foul Play can easily target these weaknesses.
With low Speed at S60, if it cannot set or loses Trick Room, many opponents move first and can overwhelm it through its modest B70/D70 defenses.
With both defenses only average at B70/D70, it is too frail to function as a bulky win condition, and super effective hits can break it in one blow. Focus Sash also has low usage, so its action guarantee is limited.
Its role tends to revolve around setting Trick Room, so if Trick Room cannot go up or the opponent reads the status move and denies the setup opportunity, it contributes much less.

Synergy & Partners

Mawile: Its Steel/Fairy typing lets it resist both Bug and Dark, which are weaknesses of Farigiraf, and take the physical Dark moves and U-turn it dislikes. With a low Speed of 50, it is easy to use under Trick Room and pairs well with setup enablers.
Archaludon: Its Steel/Dragon typing resists the Bug weakness, and Stamina lets it stay in while creating setup opportunities. It does not resist Psychic, but its typing is very different and its weaknesses do not overlap, so they broaden each other's defensive coverage.
Staraptor: Its Normal/Flying typing adds a Bug resistance, and Intimidate can pressure physical attackers. Base 100 Speed helps cover the speed gap, giving the pair a faster option even in teams that do not rely on Trick Room.

Counters & Threats

Corviknight: Its Flying/Steel typing resists Normal/Psychic STAB moves and can hit back super effectively with U-turn (Bug 2x). It can also outspeed with base 67 Speed.
Kingambit: Its Dark/Steel typing resists Normal/Psychic STAB moves and can hit back super effectively with Sucker Punch (Dark 2x). It also has priority.
Scizor: Its Bug/Steel typing keeps Normal/Psychic STAB moves to resisted damage or less, and it can answer back with Bug Buzz against the Bug weakness. It can switch in and move toward a KO, and is hard to break even when forced into a direct matchup.

Helping Hand
Ally Switch

Helping Hand or Ally Switch are also recommended. Helping Hand boosts an ally's move power by 1.5x, so use it together with high-damage Pokémon. In addition, Ally Switch can take a move aimed at an ally instead, making it a good fit for the bulky Farigiraf.

Alternative Held Item Options

Salac Berry and Mental Herb are also recommended

メンタルハーブ

Colbur Berry or Mental Herb are also recommended. Holding a Salac Berry lets it endure Kingambit's Black Glasses boosts its Kowtow Cleave can be endured. In addition, holding a Mental Herb lets it, even when Taunt, still Trick Room can be used.

Doubles Trick Room Role

Protect ally from priority while deploying turn-reversing Trick Room to build a board where allies can move freely — a support role. After setting up the board, with STAB moves unleashed from its high Sp.Atk, Psychic supports the allies' chip damage and dominates the board — a viable playstyle.

Threats

Weak to Dark types and Taunt

Psychic-type moves have no effect on Dark types, which also exploit its weakness, making them troublesome. In addition, Taunt, once hit, Trick Room and other status moves can no longer be used.Colbur Berry or Mental Herb or, with an ally's Fake Out from an ally to flinch the opponent, counter it.
