Sentret (Japanese: オタチ Otachi) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Furret starting at level 15.

Biology

Physiology

Sentret has a big round body with stubby arms and two small feet. It has a striped tail which it uses to stand on to see if there is danger nearby. It has long black ears, a white ring on its belly, and white paw pads.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Sentret are able to stand on their tails. They do this to find out whether there is any danger nearby and also to warn others of possible danger. Their shrieks warn all Pokémon in the neighbourhood of any possible danger.

Behavior

Sentret has a very nervous and cautious behavior, apparently fearing for its life. It will not sleep alone, and usually sleeps while another of its kind watches for danger. When one sees a predator, it warns the rest in its pack, and they all flee.

Trivia

• In each region, there is a two-stage Template:Type2 Pokémon encountered early in the region. Sentret is the Johto variation on this theme that also includes Rattata (Kanto), Zigzagoon (Hoenn), and Bidoof (Sinnoh).
  • Out of these Pokémon, Sentret has the lowest base stat total.
  • It also appears on the fewest routes in its native region out of these Pokémon.
• Generation II is the only Generation where Sentret's starting move is Tackle. Both following generations give Sentret Scratch as its starting move instead.
• It is colored a much lighter tan in all Generation III games and in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum than it is in Generation II. It returns to its dark brown coloration in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Origin

Despite its name, its behavior and markings are more similar to meerkats than ferrets. It also shares traits with flying squirrels, sugar gliders and raccoons.

Name origin

Sentret's name is a combination of ferret and sentry. Its Japanese name is a combination of 尾 o (tail) and 立ち tachi stand or 鼬 itachi weasel.

In other languages

• German: Wiesor - Most likely from Wiese (meadow) and visor, or from Wiesel (weasel).
• French: Fouinette - From fouine (beech marten).
• Korean: 꼬리선 Kkoriseon
