[Sword & Shield] Easy way to evolve Farfetch'd into Sirfetch'd

[Aussie Jimmy]

Firstly, I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong section.

So I thought of a way to easily evolve Farfetch'd into Sirfetch'd. For those of you who don't know, Farfetch'd need to perform THREE critical hits in a single battle (can be against one wild Pokemon or another trainer). A lot of people have found it difficult.

I evolved mine on the first attempt of this idea.

First you need:
x3 X Defend and x3 X Sp. Def (can be bought for 2000 poke each at the Motostoke Poke Centre near the entrance to the wild area)
x10 Super Potions for good measure to heal Farfetch'd if his/her health gets low. Remember you need the battle to last to get the 3 critical hits

Farfetch'd Moveset (lvl 26) holding Scope Lens
Sand Attack
Fury Cutter
Brutal Swing
Focus Energy (can purchase for 1000 watts from the man near the Station, upon entering the wild area.

Here's what I did.
I flew to Route 6 (this is the route that takes you to Stow-on-Side, where the Fossil Restoration scientist is)
Climb the ladder down to the grass area. I recommend saving it here just in case Farfetch'd faints or if the wild Yanmask you will face faints (it shouldn't if you do this right). That way you dont have to purchase more X Def and X Sp. Def.

The reason why you will fight Yanmask is because it's only two attacking moves are Hex and Slam, neither are super effective on Farfetch'd. The other two moves are crafty shield and mean look.

The wild Yanmask you encounter should be lvl 33. What you want to do is straight away use X Defend. Then use the X Sp. Def. Keep alternating the use of these items to cover Yanmask's physical and special attacks. Don't forget to use a super potion if necessary.

Now use Sand Attack at least 3 times. This should reduce the amount of times Slam hits you so you dont have to constantly recover. This maybe is necessary after using the X Defends and X Sp. Def, but its just to be on the safe side.

Now use Focus Energy to increase the chance of critical hits.

Now finally use Fury Cutter. This move is not very effective against Yanmask, which is what you want so you have time to land three critical hits. Also be careful that Fury Cutter will increase in power on successive uses, so if you are concerned the Yanmask will faint before you've landed three critical hits, just use Sand Attack or Focus Energy to break the chain.

When you have your three Critical Hits, use Brutal Swing to finish the battle since it will be Super Effective.

I did this method except I accidentally had Rock Smash instead of Brutal Swing. So I only used Furry Cutter in the fight. Fury Cutter hit Yanmask 6 times and every time it was a critical hit.

Now this method can be used on different sorts of Pokemon. I know Yanmask appears in the wild area at lvl 60 post game.
But this is how I did it, and I know this method works.

Also don't forget Farfetch'd is a Pokemon Sword Exclusive, so for those who have Pokemon Shield, you'll probably have to get a friend to trade it to you since I doubt you'll get it over a surprise trade

Here's another method:
Catch a Farfetch'd on Route 5. Let it hold a stick and make sure it has Rock Smash (It should).
Encounter a Wobbuffet and spam Rock Smash. Rock Smash is weak enough that you can attack it several times and any Counter damage you receive will be minimal. Once you get all 3 crits, finish it off with either Fury Cutter or Brutal Swing.
This method is convenient because you don't even have to leave the route since Wobbuffet are also found on Route 5.
