Strategy Overview

With a naturally high base Attack and a great ability in Sheer Force, Feraligatr is a premier offensive threat in UU. Feraligatr's access to a variety of great boosting moves as well as a priority move allow it to perform the role of a powerful wallbreaker or a sweeper, and its good typing and bulk provide it with plenty of opportunities to set up. However, Feraligatr's low Speed can make it fall flat against offensive teams, as it is outsped even at +1 by common Pokemon. In addition, it doesn't have many coverage options to speak of, and its attacks are relatively low-powered. Finally, it faces heavy competition from Gyarados, whose typing, Speed, and access to Intimidate often make it a more reliable sweeper.
