In particular, Farigiraf stood out for multiple reasons. The giraffe has always been viable in VGC since its introduction, and it made it all the way to the Worlds finals last year, where it fell just short of the big trophy. So this year\u2019s finals served as a redemption arc for Farigiraf, and it got the job done.<\/p>
As seen in that epic finals match, Ceribelli\u2019s Farigiraf played a huge part in taking down Ishigaki\u2019s restricted Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Ice Rider Calyrex. The ice horse is a powerful physical attacker with the ability to boost its Attack stat after each knockout, but Farigiraf\u2019s Foul Play counters it perfectly. Foul Play uses Calyrex\u2019s high Attack stat against itself while hitting it for super-effective damage, leaving it with little to no HP.<\/p>
