Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Defense.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (105) is 26 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 64% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.

When it bites with its massive and powerful jaws, it shakes its head and savagely tears its victim up.

TCG cards (14)

All Feraligatr cards →

Feraligatr has 14 cards in 10 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 177 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.

Below are the moves learned by leveling up. The rest (96 via TM/TR, 5 via Egg, 37 via tutor) are on the full list.
