Everyone's favorite giraffe is back with a vengence! Farigiraf takes up a far more offensive profile in VGC's Regulation F, assisting frailer threats such as Flutter Mane and both Urshifu formes by blocking priority attacks such as Thunderclap and Fake Out, and Trick Room attempts from sweepers like Ursaluna-B, all while ramping up the pressure with Throat Spray. Farigiraf threatens an OHKO onto VGC staples Amoonguss and Urshifu-R after the boost, and with Trick Room paired with impressive bulk, Farigiraf can be a thorn in many teams' side. Protect allows Farigiraf to slip through weak leads in front of common threats such as Flutter Mane and Incineroar, allowing you to reposition in front of these threats and set up Farigiraf better. Other common Farigiraf checks include bulky Dark-types that can switch in on either STAB attack and threaten large damage. Flutter Mane and the Urshifu formes threaten said Dark-types and give the option of a faster mode for when Trick Room can not be set up. This Farigiraf set can often feel weak and frail if used improperly, but it can still take hits from top metagame threats like Terastallized Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Urshifu-R.
