Sirfetch'd made its grand debut in Pokémon Sword and Shield as the highly anticipated evolution of the classic Galarian Farfetch'd. Immediately upon its reveal in 2019, the internet fell in love with its stoic expression, noble stance, and its massive leek sword and shield. The meme typically revolves around themes of chivalry, excessive confidence, or being surprisingly prepared for a conflict. It is often used to represent someone who takes a situation very seriously or to mock the concept of bringing unconventional 'weapons' to a fight. Its regal yet absurd appearance makes it a favorite for reaction images and situational comedy within the gaming community.
