Feraligatr Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Sheer Force changes the entire equation for Feraligatr. The 530 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Icepunch with Life Orb 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Icepunch, Dragon Dance, Liquidation, and Earthquake. Icepunch leads at 0% usage. Liquidation provides reliable STAB damage.
Game Availability
Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Feraligatr spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
