Ability | Held Item | |
---|---|---|
Sheer Force | Sitrus Berry |
The Ability chosen for this build is Sheer Force. This will remove the secondary effects of Feraligatr's attacks, but it boosts their damage by 30%.
The item chosen for this build is Sitrus Berry. This lets Feraligatr restore some of its lost health when it is brought down to half HP.
Liquidation | Ice Punch |
Crunch | Dragon Dance |
Liquidation is its strongest Water-type STAB move. This is normally its best STAB move, and Sheer Force makes it even stronger.
Ice Punch and Crunch are its main coverage moves. Ice Punch lets Feraligatr cover for Grass and Dragon-types that resist Liquidation, and Crunch lets it cover for Water-types that resist its other two moves.
Dragon Dance lets Feraligatr boost its Attack and Speed to help it outspeed Pokemon and get quick KOs.

Liquidation | 85 | 110.5 |

---|---|---|
Weak to: | ||
(2x) | ||
Damaged Normally By: |
(1x) | |
Resists: | (0.5x) | |
Poison is the best Tera Type for this build because it is one of the best defensive types in the game that also makes Feraligatr's common Grass weakness into a resist.
Alternatively, Feraligatr could use a Dragon Tera Type to turn both of its weaknesses into resists with the bonus of resisting the common Fire and Water types in the meta.
Best Poison (Tera) Type Pokemon for Ranked Battle
A full 252 EVs are placed in Feraligatr's Attack and Speed to make it hit as hard and fast as possible. The extra 4 EVs are put in its Sp. Def to help round out its bulk.
A Jolly nature is preferred to help Feraligatr outspeed as many Pokemon as possible.
Rock Slide | Another strong cover option that has its base power boosted to 97.5 |
---|---|
Earthquake | While it may not be boosted by Sheer Force, it is still a strong cover option with a 100 base power |
Agility | Helps Feraligatr outspeed a lot of the fast Pokemon in the meta. |

Liquidation | Ice Punch |
Crunch | Earthquake |
Liquidation is its strongest Water-type STAB move. This is normally its best STAB move, and Sheer Force makes it even stronger.

Damaged Normally By: |
(1x) | |
Resists: | (0.5x) | |
Water is the best Tera Type for this build because it will boost the damage output of Feraligatr's Liquidation.
Alternatively, it could use a Stellar Tera Type to also boost the damage of its coverage moves without having to commit to a single Tera Type. Although in most situations, Feraligatr would prefer to get consistent boosts from a Water Tera Type.

A full 252 EVs are placed in Feraligatr's Attack and Speed to make it hit as hard and fast as possible. The extra 4 EVs are put into its Sp. Def to help round out its bulk.

---|---|
Low Kick
or Superpower |
Replaces Earthquake. Hits more Pokemon for super-effective damage, but Azumarill, Primarina, and Tapu Fini will resist all of your moves. |
Feraligatr has good bulk and offensive stats, but its Speed is in an odd tier where it's slower than most Pokemon but isn't slow enough to be effective under Trick Room.
Position Feraligatr in a spot where it can set up with Dragon Dance or Agility to help it become a more threatening attacker.
Feraligatr appreciates teammates who can help it set up to allow it to better sweep the enemy team.
Screens Support | Physical Attacker | Physical Attacker |
---|---|---|
Alolan Ninetales | Feraligatr | Rillaboom |
Alolan Nietales can set up screens to make it safer for Feraligatr to set up boosts. Rilaboom is brought to help counter Grass and Electric types that Feraligatr is weak to. It can also set up Grassy Terrain to passively heal its teammates every turn.
