| Pancham has a unique evolution method. While it is a pure Fighting-type, it gains a Dark-type upon evolving when leveling up past 32 with a Dark-type in your party. The combination of Fighting and Dark type moves as Pangoro gives it awesome type coverage, and it has the moves to use this offensive typing, with Crunch, Sky Uppercut and Hammer Arm being some of its strongest level-up moves. It also has access to Parting Shot, which lets it switch out safely while weakening the target it is currently fighting. Unfortunately, this type combination is completely countered by Fairy-types, both offensively and defensively. While Pancham and Pangoro can learn Poison Jab through TMs, their poor speed and defenses means they're unlikely to get the chance to strike back. Nevertheless, Pancham is still a solid pick for a Fighting-type attacker, as long as you keep it far away from any Fairy-types. | | Pancham has a unique evolution method.

| Furfrou is not a Pokemon you want to use for battles. Like most Normal-types, its usage is molded primarily by TMs and HMs, but Furfrou's movepool is rather lackluster. Its stats suggest that it is designed to be a speedy defensive Pokemon, as it has the Fur Coat ability that halves physical damage, and can even learn the rare defense-raising Cotton Guard. Unfortunately, its support moveset is rather mediocre compared to other defensive Pokemon, not to mention its Normal typing doesn't offer any resistances outside of an immnuity to Ghost. If anything, Furfour is used more for its looks, as you can trim its fur into one of 9 designs by visiting Friseur Furfrou in Lumiose City. It's a nice cosmetic feature, but Furfrou doesn't have any other traits that make it worth using. | | Furfrou is not a Pokemon you want to use for battles.
