Pokemon GO Feraligatr has a diverse range of attacks. It can learn the Charged Attack Hydro Cannon during the Steeled Resolve event.

Released on March 1, 2024, the Fast Attack Shadow Claw has greatly enhanced the creature's viability in the competitive scene due to its ability to generate energy quickly.

It's crucial to teach a Feraligatr its best moves if you plan on using it in Raids, Gym battles, and Trainer Battles. With that in mind, here's everything about Pokemon GO Feraligatr's best moveset, counters, and viability in PvP and PvE.

Is Feraligatr good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Feraligatr in Pokemon GO PvP

Undeniably, Feraligatr is a killer Water-type Pokemon in both the Great League and Ultra League at the moment. Access to Shadow Claw offers meta coverage and generates energy fast. As a result, it is able to fire off its Charged Attacks — Ice Beam and Hydro Cannon — rapidly.

Ice Beam addresses the creature's weaknesses to Grass-type Pokeon and provides super-effective coverage against Flying-, and Dragon-type foes.

Ground-, Rock-, and Fire-type picks, on the other hand, take increased damage from Hydro Cannon. The move is also neutrally very strong, especially when used by the creature's Shadow form.

Feraligatr in Pokemon GO PvE

Pokemon GO Feraligatr is not as steadfast in Raids and Gym Defense as in the GO Battle League. That said, because it only performs exceptionally well against Ground-, Rock-, and Fire-type mons', it has limited viability in the PvE scenario.
