Furret, The Long Body Pokémon. There is no telling where its tail begins. Despite its short legs, it is quick at hunting Rattata. It makes a nest to suit its long and skinny body. The nest is impossible for other pokémon to enter. The deeper the nests go, the more maze-like they become. When under attack, it can slickly squirm through narrow spaces and get away. In spite of its short limbs, it is very nimble and fleet.
Battle Moveset
A Good Moveset for Furret would have to be this:

Return
Shadow Ball

Choice Band
Preferred Nature:
Adamant
Strategy Using Furret
This pokemon wasn't given the best stats in game. At
least this pokemon has been given a decent movepool
and is good as a choice bander (it makes up for the
relatively poor attack stat at least).
Prediction is key with focus punch, and this is quite
possibly one of its strongest attacks along with the
max happiness STABbed return. If you know your
opponents team and fighting strategy well, you should
be able to guess when he/she will make a switch or
have a pokemon use a non-offensive move, then focus
punch will be invaluable.
When you need to strike first, quick attack will
become very useful, especially against subflailers and
Endure/Reversal pokemon. One of the bad things about
Furret is its lack of defense, and will most likely
pose little threat if the advice in the counter is
used.
If your opponent happens to send out a ghost pokemon,
Return, Focus punch and quick attack become useless,
so Shadow ball becomes useful (or you could just
switch).

Strategy Against Furret
Furret is one of the poor Pokémon that Nintendo didn't
bless with good stats. It has above average speed, but
not to the degree that it'll outrun many Pokémon, and
above average HP, which is usually lost due to its
weak defences. The most effective Furret tends to be
the 'Choice Furret' (Furret@Choice Band), which can
make its attack somewhat effective. It also has access
to Quick Attack, which can cause some heavy damage on
Pokémon faster than Furret (of which many tend to have
weak defence).
- The best way to get around Furret is prediction. If
you can predict which of its four moves it'll use and
switch to a resistant Pokémon, you can force a switch
which will give you a free turn to use a Stat boosting
technique or Substitute (or even an offensive move if
you can predict which Pokémon will be sent out).
- You could also use Mach Punch/Quick Attack/Extreme
Speed with a Pokémon who carries a powerful attack
stat (preferably @Choice Band). Hopefully, it'll hit
first and with a little bit of luck, it'll knock out
Furret with one hit.
- Alternatively, you could try to endure the hits and
Counter them, however the Pokémon you use to Counter
will need a good defensive stat since it'll have to
survive hits from moves coming off of an attack stat
of approximately 220 - 414.
