Sun & Moon Feraligatr Best Moveset

Life Orb buys the setup turn. Feraligatr clicks Dragon Dance, then starts cleaning with Liquidation and the remaining moves. Adamant nature with max Attack and Speed EVs makes sure nothing tanks a boosted hit comfortably.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 11 types means almost nothing walls Feraligatr cleanly, with Hydro Cannon and Hydro Pump anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

Feraligatr Guide

  • In Sun & Moon, Sheer Force changes the entire equation for Feraligatr. The 530 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier as an attacker. Dragon Dance with Life Orb is the standard set.

  • In Sun & Moon, Feraligatr's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric) and Exeggutor (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Sheer Force is what you want on Feraligatr. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Torrent) work on paper but Sheer Force is what makes Feraligatr worth using.

  • Base 78 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Feraligatr is a physical attacker with base 105 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.

  • For Sun & Moon, the core moveset is Dragon Dance, Liquidation, Icepunch, and Aqua Jet. Dragon Dance leads at 25% usage. Liquidation provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Feraligatr spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
