Feraligatr X & Y Guide
In X & Y, Sheer Force is the hidden ability. It strengthens moves with extra effects to 1.3× their power, but prevents their extra effects. Worth hunting for if you want Feraligatr to compete at a higher level.
In X & Y, Feraligatr plays as a attacker. Speed is middling, so pick your spots carefully. Waterfall is the primary attack.
In X & Y, Adamant is the go-to nature for Feraligatr. That's +Attack / -Sp. Atk. Pair it with 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe EVs. Fits the attacker role.
No. Feraligatr isn't catchable in X & Y. Obtain one in Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire, then trade it over.
Game Availability
Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Feraligatr spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
