- Dragon Dance

Feraligatr is a strong late-game setup sweeper for offensive teams thanks to its Life Orb- and Sheer Force-boosted attacks. Its decent defensive stats for an offensive pokemon let it set up on a lot of neutral attacks, and its good defensive typing allows it to resist common priority moves such as Scizor's Bullet Punch and Crawdaunt's Aqua Jet. The strong coverage of Liquidation, Ice Punch, and Crunch allows Feraligatr to threaten a large portion of the metagame, securing KOs against Pokemon such as Hippowdon, offensive Mega Altaria, Latias, and Celebi after a single Dragon Dance. However, Feraligatr struggles to break past bulky Water-types, such as Mantine and Primarina. Also, even after a boost, it is outsped and revenge killed by faster Pokemon such as Mega Sceptile, Zeraora, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon. Feraligatr appreciates teammates that can break bulky Water-types, such as Mega Manectric and Calm Mind Latias. Feraligatr especially appreciates dual screens support from Xatu or Azelf, which gives it the bulk to set up and break teams more easily while making it harder to revenge kill.
