Research Notes - Sentret
Mustela slenderis

Furret are classic examples of mustelids, with their closest relative being Meinshao. Their docile demeanors distinguish them from their more aggressive relatives, such as Typhlosion and Weavile. They are thought to have evolved their long bodies in order easily and swiftly enter and exit their underground burrows to escape predators. Sentret are notable for their unique social structure. Though many Pokémon exhibit similar behavior, Sentret are notable for being altruistic while doing so; similar to the unrelated Patrat, guarding Sentret will call loudly and place themselves on higher ground to attract threats to themselves and allow their allies to hide and retreat.

Diet

Both Sentret and Furret are obligate carnivores, primarily preying on small rodents like Rattata. Ferret will feed their young until they are old enough to hunt for themselves and join their own social groups.

Care

Sentret are meek Pokémon that dislike unfamiliarity. More importantly, they are intensely social and will behave abnormally, sometimes at the cost of their own health, when separated from their groups. It is recommended that trainers raise young Sentret that do not yet have social ties, so that their “groups” will consist of their trainers and fellow Pokémon. Furret clean their fur frequently and need access to clean water in order to do so.

Caution

These Pokémon pose little danger to humans, preferring to flee from confrontation instead of attacking. Spooked Furret are known to run between the legs of their attackers while fleeing in hopes of tripping them and buying themselves time to escape. It should also be noted that owning clothing or other goods made of Furret fur is illegal, though it is unlikely that a person would come across such a product without specifically seeking it out. ​
