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?
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.
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.
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
@@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
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.
Год назад+10
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
I am so happy that I just found your channel. I don't really play competitive pokemon nor battle a lot. But I really enjoy watching these videos. I see now why that many people enjoy competitive fighting, it's really entertaining and I love the smart tatcitcs people come up with.
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.
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
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.
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.
Hi, I'm a long-time subscriber, and I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your content. Feraligatr has been my favorite pokemon since the original GSC games, and you did our gator GREAT by making this video. Thank you, False Swipe. I hope you are well.
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.
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 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.
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 :,)
Feraligatr is one of my favorite pokemon because i saw my favorite youtube use it in a pokemon draft league. It was INCREDIBLE! As soon as i saw it live a Bolt Strike Victini, i knew that this mon is insane. I stsrted pretending to be the trainer during battle and i love saying to use dragon dance. Feraligatr has a very special place in my heart.
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 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.
One of my favorite Pokémon in the entire series. One of my fondest memories as a kid was making it through SoulSilver all the way up to the battle with Red with primarily *just* Feraligatr, falling just short at the very end when it couldn’t beat his lead Pikachu (and even then, I probably couldn’t have beat the rest of his team on top of it.) It’s also one of several Pokémon with extra nostalgic impact on account of its appearances in and around Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, the game that kickstarted my entire interest in Pokémon in the first place.
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.
Pokemon Gold was my first ever video game and Totodile was my starter choice, so I can definitely relate to the intro summary. I have a lot of love for that lil guy ❤
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.
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!
Totodile was the first Pokemon I got in the first video game I ever played! And then later in life, Feraligatr was so consistently good that I ended up loaning it to a friend who was struggling with the HGSS E4. Riptide, youll always be the GOAT ✊
Oh good, I was waiting for this one personally! Back in DPPT I was stubborn and refused to give up my precious Gatr over the more favored Gyarados. I managed to make it work to some extent, but to my delight it only got better with Sheer Force. I lost all my older Pokemon unfortunately but you can bet your bottom dollar I'm breeding a competitive Totodile every chance i get
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.
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
Totodile is my first Pokemon from my first Pokemon game, HeartGold. Seeing the word "Great" on his competitive history puts a huge smile on my face. My favorite water starter.
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 ❤❤
Feraligatr will always have a special place in my heart as the final evo of the pokemon I was given by the quiz in Explorers of Time, which was my first exposure to the series as a whole, truly my GOAT (gatr of all time)
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.
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 😊
I love how despite every kind of power creep, even the insane power creep known as gen 9, feraligatr is still incapable of staying legal in nu forever. It got banned from the tier a few months ago from me writing this comment, and it really is not surprising. It ripped through literally everything in the tier with reckless abandon.
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
@@CyanidebeansWhy?
It's so rare to see a pokemon go UP in the tiers as the generations go on. That's arguably a phenomenal achievement.

That's just the standard for remakes and movies, nothing special
My first ever Pokemon was Totodile in Soul Silver. So happy my first ever fully evolved starter is got a remake of its video

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
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
Got to love that aqua gator
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
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
Feraligatr, Nidoking and Darmanitan are one of the reasons Sheer Force is one of my favorite abilities period.
Based
I wish nidoking got a nice ground physical stab to make use of it's higher attack
@@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
@@aaryavaze1496nice ground physical stab? Wtf? Earthquake is one of the most powerful and reliable moves in the game
Same
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 always liked using Totodile more because of the anime but hgss made it much better to use to me
Typh was so much better in Gen II...
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
@@mr.sandman7339not even learning leech seed via level up will always annoy me, I like stalling with it otherwise in playthroughs

@@majesticgothitelle1802Feraligatr already has Liquidation
That is such a gamefreak move to not change gatr to the proper gator spelling when they were able to 😂
Lazy devs
That’s a lot of merch and cards that wouldn’t match anymore tho
Probably because his name became iconic.
Gatr much better
Kinda like in Metroid how the "Varia suit" is really "barrier suit"

"MORE DAMAGE!"

GyAra doesn't get eq in Gsc BTW. That's an adv thing.
Thank you for hanging on and keep educate us about the history of different Pokémon. Always a good watch

Favorite Pokémon of all time! Love using this guy in OU whenever I can. The fact it managed to be as successful as it was is amazing.
Go gators!
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.
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.
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
Reminded me how the Johto starters were originally interrupted in 2018.
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.
My favourite pokémon of all time has finally come to FSG.
I like how you've been doing the Johto starters recently since I'm about to start a new game in my soul silver
"They didn't care for who I was until I started to dance"
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.

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.

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.
Its great hearing awesome things that happened to one my favorite starters besides Blaziken and Torterra.
Just watch, now GF is going to reveal regional variants for Meganium and Feraligatr for the DLC. Last minute hype for part 2 lol
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!
Feraligatr's sprite artworks throughout the gens are a bit of a rollercoaster.

It always bothered me that an alligator pokemon didn't have strong jaw. Even if its not as good for competitive, it just makes so much sense.
Sheer force is better
Cant wait for Indigo Disc for Gatr to come back with Tera + Sheer force Life Orb, maybe a few new moves as well

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
feraligatr has my first starter ever and i had a special spot for him in my heart ever since
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.
YEAH BABY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR! THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! WOOOOO!
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 😊
One of the few times where an older generation pokemon kept going UP every single generation
The Gator returns.
Feraligatr will always be my glorious king
Surprised we didn’t get another Quagsire intermission like last time lol
I love how despite every kind of power creep, even the insane power creep known as gen 9, feraligatr is still incapable of staying legal in nu forever. It got banned from the tier a few months ago from me writing this comment, and it really is not surprising. It ripped through literally everything in the tier with reckless abandon.
love you guys pleaseeeee remake venasur
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.
THE GOAT STARTER AND THE BEST BOI
Genuinely excited for Tera-water sheer force life orb boosted liquidations
Will we ever see the return of "The History of ___ Type in competitive?"
I still love the video on Ice Types!
Finally the best Johto starter.
Good one as always. Kecleon when?
