I'm not necessarily a Normal-type hater, but I find it hard to like a Normal-type common animal Pokemon. I know a lot of Pokemon are based off of something, but they feel so lazily designed. Sure Furret is cute, but I feel like I can pick one up at Petsmart, there's no creativity or coolness to be had here. As a typical route 1 rodent, it's in NU tier. Furret doesn't even have a B/W strategy on Smogon. I mean Keen Eye, Run Away and a hidden ability of Frisk? It may as well not even have an ability. I think I heard of a hack where all the rodents had another type and there was something like Sentrice which would have at least been something, but Furret is just a kind of boring Pokemon as is.
