My God!

Scald burns are irrelevant. Agility makes faster revenge killers fall. HydroPump and Scald are still some powerful stabs. Great for getting the surprise kills on Fergs "counters." A lot of special walls are weak to fighting which makes this set very potent and very fun to use!
 
but we have 6 votes each lol
FUCKING SHIT I'M CHINESE AND I MISCOUNTED SIX FUCKING VOTES I'M DROPPING OUT OF MY MATHEMATICS MAJOR

In all seriousness, I'll let voting continue until tomorrow morning/noon... If there is still no winner by then, idk, I guess I'll crown you both unless someone proposes a better/more fitting solution to this o.O

If you want to post gatr sets too, that is fine as well because I'm not postponing the set building part o.O

Adamant Nature
- Waterfall

Nothing too special here. Agility doubles Speed and makes it really hard to revenge kill. It already has really good power so it can forgo the extra wallbreaking power from Dragon Dance or Swords Dance and function more as a powerful late-game cleaner.

Not really much else to say here

Mono-attacking DD RestTalk Feraligatr, because I wanted to be able to switch into stuff like CroCune, boost until I caught a burn (at which point they usually think it's safe to set up) and then Rest off the burn.

I'm on mobile right now, but the spread is pretty specific. In particular, the Speed always puts you ahead of Adamant Gatr, and at +1 means you outspeed 212+ Crobat. (It also of course covers slower things like Pidgeot.) The Attack is enough to always 2HKO Suicune from full at +6 in case you get into set-up wars, with the rest in bulk.

Expect edits, including replays and damage calcs, to come!

Naughty Nature
- Waterfall
- Focus Blast
- Crunch / Ice Beam / Ice Punch

Since all of Gatr's sets involve some form of setup, I thought that I'd give an all-out attacker set a try. This set acts as a wallbreaker and is capable of luring some of Feraligatr's checks such as Mega Aggron, Chesnaught, Tangrowth, physically defensive Umbreon, and co. Nothing can be done about Suicune unfortunately. A Naughty nature is best to maximize Gatr's power for wallbreaking and revenge killing things with Aqua Jet. 200 Spe outpaces standard Fletchinder and Honchkrow and below.

Waterfall is obviously the obligatory STAB move and Gatr's strongest move with Sheer Force. Focus Blast is part of what makes the set and is important for beating Meggron, Empoleon, Forretress, defensive Umbreon, Sharpedo, Alomamola and Porygon2 among others. Crunch is needed for Slowking as well as other Psychic and Ghost types like Bronzong, Jellicent, Gourgeist, Doublade, Reuniclus and slightly weakened Cresselia. Aqua Jet makes the matchup against offense easier, revenge killing faster threats. Ice Punch and Ice Beam can fit on any one of the latter three slots and get important coverage against Dragons and Grass types like Whimsicott, Salamence and Chesnaught which aren't covered by the Water/Fighting/Dark coverage. Ice Beam is more effective against Chesnaught, Tangrowth, Gourgeist and defensive Whimsicott while Ice Punch has more raw power thanks to Gatr's higher Attack stat.

Feraligatr @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance/Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Roar

What's the best counter to phazing? Taunt Phazing of your own!

This Feraligatr set aims to exploit two of the pokemon commonly used on balance as one-time phazers to Feraligatr, Empoleon and Swampert. It is simple- when you get a dragon dance on a predicted switch, the opponent will likely switch to Swampert or Empoleon, and use Roar- at the same time you use Roar. Because Feraligatr is faster, its Roar "outspeeds" the opponent, and instead the opponent will be phazed out.

If you are really bold, you can use Swords Dance instead of Dragon Dance, which helps to destroy stall. It is especially useful when faced against Roar Suicune or Roar Mega Aggron.

Feraligatr trades a coverage move(Crunch) for the ability to take both balance and offence to the cleaners, as Feraligatr can always use Agility vs Offense and outspeed most things in the tier while using SD instead vs balance or stall to hit like a truck(or, if you're feeling particularly evil, you can always set-up both), although it should be noted that the loss of a coverage move in the form of Crunch means that this set needs a little more support to remove some additional checks.

- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Superpower

Two of the more common switchins to Gatr are Porygon2 and Mega Abomasnow, both of which get bopped by Superpower.

+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Feraligatr Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Porygon2: 330-390 (88.2 - 104.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

It notably also KOs Empoleon where Crunch might barely miss out on the KO: +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Sheer Force Feraligatr Crunch vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Empoleon: 307-361 (82.7 - 97.3%) -- 25% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock vs. +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Feraligatr Superpower vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Empoleon: 707-834 (190.5 - 224.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Also Mega Aggron takes about 60-70 depending on spread.

It also does more damage than Crunch against neutral targets (ex. Suicune) by a small margin: +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Feraligatr Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 211-248 (52.2 - 61.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery vs. +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Sheer Force Feraligatr Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 183-216 (45.2 - 53.4%) -- 91% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

Superpower Gatr notably loses either priority or Ice-type coverage but in exchange can lure common walls such as P2 and KO or severely weaken them for the rest of the team.

Also, would it be possible to list the sets that we can choose from? The thread gets kind of cluttered with all of the stuff happening in it at the same time, so it would be handy to collect all of the different sets and their creators in one place. Just a thought.

Also Mega Aggron takes about 60-70 depending on spread.

It also does more damage than Crunch against neutral targets (ex. Suicune) by a small margin: +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Feraligatr Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 211-248 (52.2 - 61.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery vs. +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Sheer Force Feraligatr Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 183-216 (45.2 - 53.4%) -- 91% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

Superpower Gatr notably loses either priority or Ice-type coverage but in exchange can lure common walls such as P2 and KO or severely weaken them for the rest of the team.
