It's really common. Old pokemon abuse new gimmicks and come back with a vengeance. Look at Feraligatr and Serperior. You see what they've already done with tera types?
Feraligatr is one of those Pokemon I've grown increasingly fond of over the years. It's great in-game, it's great in competitive formats, and it's not ostentatious. It's just a big gator that really likes Life Orb.
Seeing as Totodile was my first ever Pokémon back in HeartGold, seeing my boy Feraligatr have "how GREAT" in his competitive history title makes me very proud.
@@aaryavaze1496It gets earthquake, which is in theory better than earth power. The reason you go special with nido is its absurd array of special moves which take advantage of sheer force
This is something I've noticed lately, but I'm enjoying seeing more shinies sprinkled in these vids. Feels almost like a 'Did you see it?' type of beat
The physical-special split in Gen IV was what led me to picking Totodile over Cyndaquil in HGSS, and since then, it's definitely become my favorite of the starter trio.
I usually choose Cyndaquil just bc there are a lot of other water types in the game besides Totodile, but I like them both equally. Chikorita on the other hand...is unfortunate
Really excited to see it come back in SV’s second DLC in the Tera metagame. Not to mention the Sheer Force boosted attacks. And it does have decent bulk on both sides and SD + DD. One of my favorite Water starters too.

I hope that returning Pokémon will get a boost in their base stats. Especially Meganium.
I'm hoping for feraligatr to get more physical water type moves like flip turn, aqua cutter, Liquidation, and or wave crash. Just by getting 2 of these moves would buff feraligatr a lot
I don't think feraligatr was ever the most popular starter in gen 2. I think it was a solid tie between feraligatr and typhlosion. Typhlosion was always super popular.
Fun Fact: gatr is actually a legit UU Mon in gsc. It's a very fine Mon. Better than many UU proper mons. A Big part is it has eq to hit lanturn a Mon that stonewalled GyAra.
My Feraligatr in SoulSilver is among the oldest Pokémon I still have to this day. Bro smashed through practically everything, was decently fast, and could actually take hits hits pretty well, so it was far and away the most reliable Mon on my whole squad.
I still have my Jolly Nature Feraligatr from SoulSilver too! He was the first Pokémon I ever raised to level 100, as well as the first to have all his stats hyper trained. He’s still chilling out in Alola, but I will transfer him to Paldea once the Indigo Disk releases.
I'm very nostalgic about Feraligatr. It was my first pokemon I had ever trained to reach level 100 in Soul Silver. Had Waterfall, Earthquake, Crunch and Ice Fang.
3 months ago, I hatched a shiny Totodile on my 28th birthday, the same day I got my first Pokémon game and starter 20 years ago for my 8th birthday, Pokémon Crystal and Totodile. Best birthday present ever and a really cool and coincidental shiny I have ever hatched in my 20 years of playing Pokémon!
Feraligatr is such a special Pokemon to me, my first physical cartridge of Pokémon Crystal, I chose Feraligatr since I chose Typhlosion in Gold. This was before I knew about shiny Pokémon, so my Totodile to Feraligatr sparkles like the red Gyarados, I called it "my special Feraligatr" So seeing Feraligatr do well in competitive is heart-warming to me
I've always wanted to make a team of crocodilians and call it Gator Gang. Feraligatr, Krookodile, Skeledirge and Garchomp (honorary member). No idea who would fill out the last two spots.
To further expand on the interruptions of trios, this time we got a while trio before finishing another one lol (the swords of justice). Though tbf the Terrakion video is expected to have some bulk
Life orb, sheer force, dragon dance sets have the possibility to be pretty good in one of the lower tiers when Feraligatr returns. The Tera meta game can possibly make it harder to remove.
I am amazed by Feraligatr's performance. I am more impressed how gatr was able to use Torrent so effectively. Most starters do not have the ability to use Torrent, Overgrow, or Blaze like Feraligatr. There is always something they lack to wield the ability effectively.
I feel like Feraligatr's gonna be a huge threat when Indigo Disk drops. I've heard rumors it may end up getting Scale Shot, which would be broken as hell on it, especially in combination with Swords Dance.
@@bulborb8756 I actually just looked it up, and Scale Shot isn't on the list of moves affected by Sheer Force, making it a potentially devastating combination on that set! Wave Crash/Scale Shot/Ice Punch/Swords Dance for a solid set, maybe?
@@DMDracoMoondragon unless it just hasn't been added to the list because there's currently no Scale Shot users that have Sheer Force. Flame Charge also increases the user's speed and it's on the affected list.
@@yorecf9641 I think it might not be on the list because of it also lowering one of the user's stats. Scale Shot lowers the user's Defense, much like a move like Close Combat or Superpower would, and those aren't affected by Sheer Force, either.
Out of the Johto starters, Feraligatr is the best one for both in-game and competitive (even in the lower tiers, with a small niche in OU if the meta is favorable). In the Johto games, you get the Surf HM ridiculously earlier compared to other games, letting Feraligatr roll with Surf as its Water STAB (even coming off of its lower Special Attack) for the rest of the game, although it does get Aqua Tail pretty late in the remakes. It doesn't have too many bad matchups either; Clair may be a bad matchup on paper, but Feraligatr can simply brute force its way with Crunch (and Ice Fang on the Dragonair). In competitive, Sheer Force Waterfall/Liquidation is its main claim to fame although it does face competition from Gyarados and it ranks higher than it in the BD/SP OU viability rankings.
as someone who mains gsc uu, gatr is absolutely a viable choice in the modern metagame and has unique wallbreaking potential not replicated by other waters in the tier. access to water stab and quakeslide coverage + screech allows it to hit everything but the rare grass types hard neutrally. it comes in freely vs common bulky mons like blastoise, and has plenty of turns to regain leftovers by clicking screech and forcing switches. it checks both nidoqueen and piloswine relatively well, even w/o rest, can 1v1 gyara in a pinch, checks scyther with its good bulk and rock slide, can pose a serious threat to granbull and pinsir with its stab hydro pump, and can cleave through bulky electrics with eq. it's not as easily autopiloted as a lot of other waters in the tier, but is most definitely worth using in a tournament setting. as others have said already, I think you guys have undersold gatr in your gen 2 coverage, and I hope next time you cover a gen 2 uu mon, appropriate research will be done to more accurately represent the meta as it is in 2023 and beyond.
Feraligatr really does embody the animal he's based on scarily well. Alligators and Crocodiles have lived on our planet for millions of years having changed relatively little over the years. Feraligatr is the same. It just does what it always has. Pokemon tiers and teams may change around it but Feraligatr will always be there doing what it has for years. Let's just hope whenever it returns it goes back to what its always done before. Cause damage.
Feraligatr not only has the greatest bakery in pokemon sprites. But he got enough tools to be useful each generation, without fancy transformations, signature moves or forms, just goes to show how good a pokemon can be by just being himself
I can see Feraligatr doing good in the 9th generation (since all starters are coming to the indigo disk). Pair it up with Prankster Grimmsnarl and terastilizing it could make it a menace to the lower tiers.
Feraligatr is my favorite Pokemon so I know how much of a monster it was. But it's just great to see my boy be so validated... Hopefully I see it get flip turn and wave crash!
Still my favorite starter after all these years later. It's a simple, reliable Mon that does what it can do pretty well. Coupled with a well-rounded design I think it best embodies the qualities of what makes a well-designed Starter Pokemon.
Ah yes, the best gator. He may have a tough rivalry with that pissy water snake, but he makes up for it with sheer (force) tenacity and a toothy, game-winning smile. He'll always be top starter for me
Ah, good to see these classic episodes remade in the modern style where it recongizes the lower tiers. Wouldnt mind a Pikachu & Raichu remake if that's not on the list yet 😊
It was the same story for Feraligatr for every subsequent Generation, following IV: "It fell in the tiering rung, and proceeded to DOMINATE its new opposition! Then it rose back up to DOMINATE even more opposition!" - It's oddly heartwarming. Especially since we're talking about a Starter Pokemon, and we always want to see them do well. Sorry, Meganium...
This is by FAR my favorite STARTER, but wish had a Stats distribution update. . . Either 10/20 more point on ATK or/and SPEEED Let's be honest, nobody is going to even bother going special with the Gator.
Hearing both Typhlosion and Feraligtr mentioned in this video makes you reaaal worried about the Meganium please give that mon a buff in the second gen 9 dlc
Makes me so happy that my favorite Pokémon of all time was good since the start. He may not have gotten a mega along side the other two or be a OU staple but he was a legit threat in any tier he was in and that’s good enough for me :,)
Good thing it didnt get Belly Drum. Also I've been running a special Feraligatr after i got bored with the standard one and its real fun...id you dont mind missing focus blast
One big takeaway from this video is that Feraligatr was one of the rare starters that really took advantage it's base ability as Torrent did ALOT for it during Gens RSE to XY. That's a pretty impressive feat in of itself that puts him up there with the likes of Belly Drum Charizard and a few other starters I'm sure I've missed. Also it's pretty rad that in the wonky format that was BDSP singles Gatr surpassed Gyarados and became OU. Currently he's sitting in RU but I have hope he may return to UU somewhere down the road. Always believe in LaserGatr.
If Feraligatr were to finally receive the mega evolution form gator and the other Johto starter trio, Feraligatr could become a water/dragon type. Also is impressive Feraligatr improved within the generations, which is certainly a step up from Feraligatr’s previous review of his career in the competitive scene.
The boi got me through Whitney when all my friends cry they couldn't get pass Milktank. It was also the first shiny starter I ever hatch. I love this pokemon ❤❤
I think the solo typing of the starters is what went wrong. Solo grass isn't good, solo water for non-bulky mon which isn't fast and high atk is not that good and solo fire too. If it was grass-fairy, water-dark/fighting, ground and fire- ground would have been insane. Atleast feraligatr has been amazing and typhlosion too
Y’all ever just think of an alternate universe where Feraligatr was spelled as Feraligator
Worse timeline
Occasionally
I still spell it like that.
Nope.
Feraliga'r
Funny thing about Feraligatr, it was legitimately a very good Pokémon in BDSP OU when that meta was a thing.
Plz explain more
@@Dr.Stein_Take everything good about it in Gen 4.
Now add Sheer Force, Liquidation, Superpower etc
@@MedhaosFEH Now I feel dumb for asking. But thnx!
Also in that meta, it's actually better than Gyarados

It's really common. Old pokemon abuse new gimmicks and come back with a vengeance. Look at Feraligatr and Serperior. You see what they've already done with tera types?
Feraligatr is one of those Pokemon I've grown increasingly fond of over the years. It's great in-game, it's great in competitive formats, and it's not ostentatious. It's just a big gator that really likes Life Orb.
Unlike that grass starter
if there's one thing gator loves, it's using brute force to smash through anything that get's in his way
We were robbed of a Water/Dragon Mega Feraligatr.
We were robbed of Johto mega's in general 😞
Given that he’s based on a gator, his mega Evo strikes me more as a Water/Ground Pokémon
@@ChrisPTY507what? Gators don’t go in the ground besides while laying eggs off shore. It should be either dark or dragon.
@@patrickburton1401
Gators, actually some of them do. Crocs don’t necessarily deal with the ground, but gators can and do.
Or water/dark Feraligatr with water/dragon Gyarados
And we were robbed of grass/fairy Meganium too
Seeing as Totodile was my first ever Pokémon back in HeartGold, seeing my boy Feraligatr have "how GREAT" in his competitive history title makes me very proud.
That's just the standard for remakes and movies, nothing special

Probably because his name became iconic.
Gatr much better

Life orb, sheer force, dragon dance sets have the possibility to be pretty good in one of the lower tiers when Feraligatr returns. The Tera meta game can possibly make it harder to remove.
It’ll be bonkers in uu
when he does return he'll do what he does best: clamp those jaws down on anything that moves with an iron grip and NEVER let go as it pummels them

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Let’s go our Gator with the biggest cheeks with that back sprite!
Yo, that is my favorite pokemon of all time. I'm so happy that competitive history finally happen. Thanks you a lot !
Feraligtar is the type of mon whose optimal game plan matches up with his look; a big ol’ gator hitting really hard. Nothing fancy, just sheer force.

feraligatrs greatest nerf was game freak removing its dump truck
I knew it, just couldn't wait for the DLC ugh

Not sure about competitive but my Feraligatr absolutely tore GSC apart back in the days.
Feraligator is undoubtedly getting Wave Crash and Scale Shot in the Dlc so that might help it a bit.
Feraligatr is my favorite Pokemon so I know how much of a monster it was. But it's just great to see my boy be so validated... Hopefully I see it get flip turn and wave crash!
"They didn't care for who I was until I started to dance"
Still my favorite starter after all these years later. It's a simple, reliable Mon that does what it can do pretty well. Coupled with a well-rounded design I think it best embodies the qualities of what makes a well-designed Starter Pokemon.
Ah yes, the best gator. He may have a tough rivalry with that pissy water snake, but he makes up for it with sheer (force) tenacity and a toothy, game-winning smile. He'll always be top starter for me
Which one? Gyarados?
Ah, good to see these classic episodes remade in the modern style where it recongizes the lower tiers. Wouldnt mind a Pikachu & Raichu remake if that's not on the list yet 😊
I think this mon will be fun in Terra raids, sheer force and life orb for a free boost, I think it will still get D dance . Its gonna be fun

Cant wait for Indigo Disc for Gatr to come back with Tera + Sheer force Life Orb, maybe a few new moves as well
Thank you for hanging on and keep educate us about the history of different Pokémon. Always a good watch
This is by FAR my favorite STARTER, but wish had a Stats distribution update. . . Either 10/20 more point on ATK or/and SPEEED
Let's be honest, nobody is going to even bother going special with the Gator.
Hearing both Typhlosion and Feraligtr mentioned in this video makes you reaaal worried about the Meganium please give that mon a buff in the second gen 9 dlc
Best gen 2 starter
Just watch, now GF is going to reveal regional variants for Meganium and Feraligatr for the DLC. Last minute hype for part 2 lol
I remember fighting Red with a level 25 Graveler and a level 93 Feraligatr. I captured all pokémon I saw and had no time to level them up.
Just here to mention how badass Feraligatr's sprites were until they made him the derpiest MFer of all time 😢
Should have mentioned BDSP when it WAS OU and owned Gyarados!
Imagine if Gator got a mega form? I’d imagine a more bulkier Gator, similar too the Swampert mega.
How GREAT was Typhlosion 😊
How GREAT was Feraligatr 😊
How DISAPPOINTING was Meganium 😢
Gamefreak please give green dinosaur something
Makes me so happy that my favorite Pokémon of all time was good since the start. He may not have gotten a mega along side the other two or be a OU staple but he was a legit threat in any tier he was in and that’s good enough for me :,)
My personal Johto starter preference goes
N°1 Chikorita 🌿
N°2 Totodile 🌊
N°3 Cyndaquil 🔥
Here after it got banned from NU in gen 9
I hope Feraligatr gain a regional variant as Water/Dragon allow to decent in doubles (electric types are everywhere in doubles go figure)
That be great.
Maybe in a pokemon legends: Kyurem/Zygarde
Just get a ground type or something with lightning rod
Electric types are not very common in S/V VGC. Regieleki is the only “great” one, and it’s like a c rank Pokémon RN.
I like totodile is one of my favorite water type starter.
I was waiting most of the video for the triumphant “and then it got access to Sheer Force!!”
Surprised we didn’t get another Quagsire intermission like last time lol
Dragalge, magcargo, drifblim, Aegislash or rotom and all of his forms! 💪💪💪
The coolest gator (in my opinion) just got a remake and I'm all here for it
Same thing with Typhlosion. Feraligatr is great in our hearts.
Adamant+Sheer force+life orb+ d dance/swords dance+liquidation+tera water would be crazy
Feraligatr is a good example why I love Water type Pokémon.
“How GREAT Was Floridaman Actually?”
The last time I used one it froze a totem komo-o with ice beam for 3+ turns.
love you guys pleaseeeee remake venasur

I love how he starts off by saying gatr was for never used Pokémon 😭
Day 10 millions of asking for how good was Accelgor actually
Unfortunately, I think Gen Two has the worst lineup of new mons and starters. I think Scissor and Tyranitar are my only non-legendary exceptions.
I think the solo typing of the starters is what went wrong. Solo grass isn't good, solo water for non-bulky mon which isn't fast and high atk is not that good and solo fire too. If it was grass-fairy, water-dark/fighting, ground and fire- ground would have been insane. Atleast feraligatr has been amazing and typhlosion too

I JUST finished watching the old one, wishing there was a new one. I click back home. Boom Feraligator notif.
