Feraligatr rules! Typhlosion drools!
Totodile was my first ever Pokemon.
Hey!
I like Typhlosion!!!
*sniff* Since he has hurt me by poking fun at Typhlosion, I'll make Typhlosion feel better by doing a review of him first.
Nah. I like Feraligatr too.
But Typhlosion got a bost in the 4th Gen too D=. And he asked first, so...
I finally beat Cynthia, and the double team of Volkner and *forgets name* the fire guy.

| Speed | 78 |
Author's Opinion: This may look like an inferior Gyarados, but don't underestimate it. Unlike Gyarados, it has Swords Dance, as well as Torrent, making it a nasty sweeper if played correctly.
Recommended Movesets:Nature: Adamant/Jolly
Item: Life Orb/Leftovers
EVs: 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
~ Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall/Aqua Tail
~ Ice Punch
~ Earthquake/Crunch
It's the Gyarados-Mimic of the Dragon Dance set. If you are using this set, I would go with Gyarados, since he is more threatening with this set. But you can still use it if you want.
Aqua Tail has more power, but less accuracy, while Waterfall has a 20% Flinch rate and 100% accuracy, but less power. Crunch gets rid of Celebi and Cresselia as well as takes on walling Grass types and Dragon types.
Nature: Jolly
Item: Life Orb/Leftovers
EVs: 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
~ Swords Dance
~ Waterfall/Aqua Tail
~ Ice Punch
~ Earthquake/Crunch
This set is what sets Feraligatr from Gyarados. Swords Dance can multiply its Attacking power by x2, resulting in a nasty sweep. I personally like this set more than the Dragon Dance one, but you must have a Jolly nature to make up the speed loss.
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
Item: Liechi Berry/Salac Berry
EVs: 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
~ Swords Dance/Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall
~ Substitute
~ Flail
Assuming Feraligatr has 31 IVs in HP and 4 EVs in HP, its Substitutes are enough for 3 Substitutes, leaving exactly 25% health, as well as a Berry boost. It also is handy for Flail.
Countering Feraligatr:Bulky Grass types such as Leafeon and Tangrowth can wall its Ice Punches.
Beware phazers, as they can roar away stat boosts. This includes Skarmory and Suicune.
Abomasnow, Hippowdon, and Tyranitar can switch in on a boosted Waterfalls and Flails respectively. The weather effects will wear down the Substitutes and eventually Feraligatr's own HP. If your name is Abomasnow, watch out for the occasional Rock Slide as well as Waterfall if you are Hippowdon or Tyranitar.
A Jolteon's Thunderbolt will OHKO Feraligatr and will completely outspeed Feraligatr even with a Dragon Dance boost (Jolly +1 Speed Feraligatr will outspeed it though). Gyarados can wall him well, but beware Rock Slide.
