Trivia

• Furret made its anime debut in A Claim to Flame!, which is twice the episode number of Sentret's debut episode, Tanks Alot.
• Also in A Claim to Flame!, Furret is misrepresented as a Ground-type. However, its trainer Salvador's main strategy is to utilize Dig.

Origin

Furret appears to be based on a ferret.

Name origin

Furret's name is a combination of ferret and furry. It is more similar to a ferret than Sentret. Its Japanese name is a combination of 大 ō, big, and 鼬 itachi, weasel, and may also include 尾 o, tail, and 立つ tatsu, stand, just like Sentret's Japanese name.

In other languages

• German: Wiesenior - Modified version of its pre-evolution's German name, including Wiese (meadow) and Senior (elderly) referring to its higher evolution state.
• French: Fouinar - From fouine (beech marten); although the actual meaning implied by the corruption seems to be snoop.
• Korean: 다꼬리 Dakkori
