Feraligatr Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Sheer Force changes the entire equation for Feraligatr. The 530 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Waterfall with Mysticwater is the standard set.
Sheer Force is what you want on Feraligatr. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Torrent) work on paper but Sheer Force is what makes Feraligatr worth using.
Base 78 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Feraligatr is a physical attacker with base 105 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
For Black 2 & White 2, the core moveset is Waterfall, Aqua Jet, Crunch, and Swords Dance. Waterfall leads at 0% usage. Waterfall provides reliable STAB damage.
