Feraligatr (Must read for competitive battlers)

Feraligatr. When we see a feraligatr in a battle, what's the first thing that comes to mind? If you answered dragon dancer, then you are correct! But what about it's other options? Sure it's got a great attack stat, but what about it's 100 base defense? Surely that can't go without a thought could it? I've been playing around with a RestTalk Feraligatr set, and just got finished running some damage calcs. Freaking Amazing. I'm here to share my RestTalker with you, and you're all reading it to find out about it AND post your own cool gimmick feraligatr sets.

And there you have it. There are VERY few things that have the ability to OHKO feraligatr with physical attacks. Water and Normal provide fantastic coverage, but which normal attack you choose is up to you. I personally prefer Double edge for the higher power output, and it's recoil is offset by rest, but if you're worried about any of the above attackers 2HKO'ing you, then you can opt for return so the 3HKO's don't become 2HKO's. RestTalk prevents status and such, and makes him a great absorber of hypnosis's.

A fun agility set I came up with. The Speed EV's put you past timid scarftran if I remember right. Hydro Pump decimates things like skarmory, steelix, and assorted fire types. Ice Beam takes out the grass types, swellow, dragons, etc. SuperPower is there to hit chanseys and snorlax's, as well as clefables and special walls. Pretty fun set to use =D
