Looking for Feraligatr builds :)

[ericashes]

As you guys know, HA starters are now out for Feraligatr, Meganium, and Typhlosion. I am personally excited for Feraligatr and am going to be testing all viable builds on showdown. Post your builds for me to use here and I will try them on showdown and let you guys know what works best for me . Make sure to include items and movesets.

Sheer Force negates the recoil

I realized the error of my ways mid skype call weeks ago when someone said "you can get dragon dance on it"

Oh, fair enough. I saw that comment earlier though "Feraligatr is a poor man's ttar"

well tbh it kinda is . It is a great potential uu but ttar trumps it for the same purpose. Ddance and sweep.

Apart from the fact that Feraligatr has better defensive typing in every way and has a speed stat that can actually outspeed things, lol.

again, with 0 evs into sp def and hp would he even be able to take a 1x hit from a strong sp attacker?

I can literally say the exact thing about Tyranitar but for Fighting/Ground type moves, especially physical.

252 SpA Chandelure Energy Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Feraligatr: 248-294 (79.7 - 94.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

You could say Galvantula, but if you set up a DD on the switch, you OHKO and outspeed. It hits 255 with adamant which gives it over 382 speed after just 1 DD

would a scarf chanderluer still outspeed though after 1 ddance?

 

[Matt_192]

Yeah, but it doesn't OHKO

 

[ericashes]

Yeah, but it doesn't OHKO

yes but, you couldnt switch it in on a chandeluer after death and boost. But I dont expect anyone to bring chand to my water gym anyways I suppose.

It's not as if Tyranitar doesn't have its fair share of complete counters...




Fighting type.

I suppose. I am shit at maths.Can you tell me what fera speed would be after a ddance?

With Adamant it's Math.Floor(255*1.5) which is 382. If it's Jolly, it's Math.Floor(280*1.5) which is 420.

dang. I wish it has 88 speed instead of 78 xD

It's still good enough, not OU worthy or anything but definitely usable. It's gonna stick in UU for the time being in my opinion and that's all - it really depends what we suspect from UU.
