Feraligatr or Gyarados (Non-Mega)?

1 minute read

So, having definitively decided on using Aegislash in my 6v6 Competetive team, (thanks stakatakacool and Mega Flygon), I am now in doubt as to whether I should use Feraligatr or Gyarados. I have both, but since I already have Mega Alakazam, I can’t use Gyaradosite, leaving me with a Sheer Force Life Orb ‘Gatr and Intimidate Lefties Gyarados. Please leave reasons for which I should use, and also post movesets. Thanks!

Despite having Sheer Force, Feraligatr has a few problems that will hinder it a physical sweeper.

You could argue that Gyarados also has a low speed stat(81), but is still better before a couple reasons.

We can assume that Gyarados is the superior water type sweeper. Other good Dragon Dance sweepers include Dragonite, Tyranitar, and Zygarde. The Gyarados set you provided is okay, but I would replace Leftovers with Flynium-Z, as I suggested above. Also, Gyarados isn’t very fast, so it prefers the speed boost it gets from Jolly.

Hope I helped. :)

It depends on what you’re going for I personally prefer Feraligatr because sheer Force is op but Gyarados with intimidate has the ability to set up on physical Pokemon or get a free dragon dance by them switching out it is an opinion based to but personally if I had to choose one Feraligatr probably be best because its ability makes it hit a little bit harder and doesn’t have to switch or get one shot against electric hope I helped
