Feraligatr
Water
Best attacking moveset: Waterfall and Hydro Cannon, worth 12.0 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Feraligatr can learn 20 combinations. Waterfall with Hydro Cannon does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.
That set is legacy. Hydro Cannon is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Feraligatr you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Waterfall and Hydro Pump, worth 10.9 damage per second.
Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.
