Sentret Description

Sentret is a small Normal-type Pokemon from Johto. It is known for standing upright on its tail to look around, keeping watch for danger and alerting others when it senses trouble.

Competitive Overview

Is Sentret Good in Competitive?

Sentret is usually an early-game or Little Cup style Pokemon rather than a major competitive threat. Its best value comes from simple Normal-type attacks, utility options and the ability to evolve early into Furret.

Sentret’s biggest strengths are moves such as Body Slam, Double-Edge, Quick Attack, Hyper Voice, Sucker Punch and U-turn. Its biggest issues are low base stats, limited bulk and a weakness to Fighting-type moves.
