This Pokemon already beats Charizard and Aerodactyl. The Champion battle with Lance at the end of the Elite Four is one of the most difficult in the game, and a smart player is going to prepare for it well before they step into Victory Road.įeraligatr may not easily beat Lance’s team on its own, but it has a good shot at dealing with many of his Pokemon with a strong Ice-type move. So, it’s up to the player to decide, but unless there is another strong Pokeman that absolutely needs Earthquake, it will do great on Feraligatr.īlizzard is on this moveset for one reason, and his name is Lance. The issue with Earthquake is, often, a player might have several Pokemon that could use the TM. It has a high attack stat, and it’s weak to Electric-type Pokemon. If the trainer can afford it though, Hydro Pump is going to let Feraligatr do serious damage.įeraligatr is a great candidate for Earthquake. So, unless it’s on a team with other Pokemon that can learn Surf and Waterfall, Feraligatr might need to give up on Hydro Pump. Yes, anyone who plays Pokemon Gold and Silver is going to need a lot of slots for Water-type moves, since they’re needed to surf across the sea and move past waterfalls (and get past whirlpools in this game). Since it’s Special Attack stat isn’t too great, Surf or Waterfall might not be worth the moveslot. Therefore, it’s important to also teach it strong physical attacks so it can really threaten opposing Pokemon.Įven though there are several Water-type HMs that are great to teach Pokemon in Generation II, Feraligatr most likely needs Hydro Pump to do damage. Feraligatr’s Special Attack stat isn’t wonderful (base 79), so it might struggle with doing damage. Sadly, Water-type moves are all special in Generation II.

Note: This article is subjective and reflects the opinion of the writer. Feraligatr can help with many battles in the game with this moveset. It can beat Jasmine’s Steelix and learn Bite for Morty’s Ghost Gym. Feraligatr also doesn’t lose to any of the Gym Battles in Pokemon Gold and Silver. It has no really bad stats, with one pretty good stat in Attack (base 105). Like most of the starter Pokemon, Feraligatr gets a really even stat spread. Even though it may have competition, Feraligatr can be one of the best Water-type Pokemon in Generation II with the right moves on it.
