Farigiraf is the final evolution of Girafarig. Originally introduced to the franchise in generation two, Girafarig was never given an evolution form until now, seven generations later. Girafarig will evolve into Farigiraf after learning Twin Beam attack at level 32.
Like Girafarig, Farigiraf is also normal and psychic-typed rendering it weak against bug and dark-typed Pokémon, immune against ghost-typed attacks, and resistant to other psychic-typed attacks.
As an evolved form, trainers must first get their hands on Girafarig which has been commonly seen roaming in the grassy areas around the Porto Marinada Pokémon Center and in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Area Zero.
As a final evolution form, Farigiraf has decently high base stats, having a lot of opportunities to get stronger when leveling up: 70 HP, 80 ATK, 65, DEF, 90 SP. ATK, 65 SP. DEF, and 85 Speed.
In relation to Girafarig, Farigiraf has significantly higher offensive and defensive capabilities. Additionally its ‘Cud Chew’ ability allows the Long Neck Pokémon to eat another Berry and eating a Berry in battle, giving the effect twice. Farigiraf also has Armor Tail which disables priority moves for opposing Pokémon.
