Forgive me if I screw something up, I couldn't find out what exactly to do...

[OVERVIEW]
(copy and paste lol)
With a naturally high base Attack, decent special attack, and the gift of its newly released hidden ability, Feraligatr has emerged as a premier offensive threat in UU. Feraligatr's access to a variety of great boosting moves as well as a priority move allow it to perform the role of a powerful wallbreaker or a sweeper, and its good typing and bulk provide it with plenty of opportunities to set up. However, Feraligatr's low Speed can make it fall flat against offensive teams, as it is outsped even at +1 by common Pokemon. In addition, it doesn't have many coverage options to speak of, and its attacks are relatively low-powered.
[SET]
name: Caiman Calamity (Special)
move 1: Agility
move 2: Scald
move 3: Ice Beam/Ancient Power
move 4: Ancient Power/Focus Blast
item: Life Orb
ability: Sheer Force
nature: Calm
evs: 252 SpA, 108 Spe, 148 HP

Moves
========
Agility is extremely potent, allowing you to outspeed a whole lot. All of it's other attacks are basically the only viable options for a Special Feraligatr. However; Special Moves are ultimately superior to Physical Moves, as you take no rough skin/iron barbs/rocky helmet damage with no-contact moves. Focus Blast is a great alternative to Ancient Power, as it has a huge base power, but also has the risk of missing. No one will expect a special gatr, so it will completely catch them by suprise!
Set Details
========
Since you won't be boosting your special attack much, fully investing in that is a good idea. Speed doesn't need to be boosted as much because of agility, and HP helps it tank some hits to boost. Life orb also doesn't take damage when Sheer Force is active, so, bonus!
Usage Tips
========
Baton passing into Gatr is a fantastic idea because of Gatr's lack of special boosting. Agility when you see fit, but don't agility too late, as to not get swept under the metaphorical rug.
Team Options
========
Baton Passers: Teammates like Togetic can pass Nasty Plots, and if you want to go full on evil, baton pass Quiver Dances with Masquerain. (I prefer the latter, especially since it is in the same egg group, so yay fanfiction?)
Good Tanks and Wish dudes: These are nice to preserve Feraligatr, as it isn't the most tanky of pokemon. If you are with Masqupass, than you probably want physical tanks like Torkoal.

Other Options
=============
Tanky feraligatr is an option to avoid being KOd on Agility.
Checks and Counters
===================
Special Tanks with decent attacks: Feraligatr is not good with handling multiple attacks.
Grass-types: Whimsicott can lock Feraligatr into a setup move with Encore or threaten it with Giga Drain. Mega Sceptile can KO with Giga Drain. Chesnaught can wear Feraligatr down with Leech Seed or KO it with Wood Hammer.
Electric-types: Offensive Rotom formes outspeed Feraligatr. Mega Ampharos can KO Feraligatr with Volt Switch after Stealth Rock damage.
