Feraligatr is a Water-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO, serving as a 3-star Raid Boss during the yearly aquatic-oriented event, the Water Festival. As the third and final evolution form of the Totodile family, Feraligatr will typically use Water-type Moves in battle. Yet, the bipedal gator also has Ice-type attacks like Ice Fang or the Normal-Type Bite.
As a Water-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO, Feraligatr is highly resistant to Steel-, Fire-, Ice-, and Water-type Moves. However, its innate elemental attribute makes this gator Pokémon significantly vulnerable to Grass- and Electric-type attacks. With these weaknesses in mind, Trainers should prepare their Raid accordingly, taking advantage of their best available counters and defeating Feraligatr in battle. Keep in mind that this Pokémon is considered one of the strongest Water-type since the creature is tanky and can deal substantial damage. Therefore, players are advised to bring Legendary, Shadow, or Mega party members for optimal results. Having a teammate join in the Raid Battle could also help if the Trainer runs into combative trouble.
Starting with the ultimate counters in Pokémon GO for the Feraligatr Raid Battle, it is recommended Trainers use Shadow Raikou, Mega Manectric, Shadow Electivire, Shadow Magnezone, Shadow Zapdos, Mega Venusaur, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Koko, or Zekrom. These choices will undoubtedly deal the most effective damage to Feraligatr. On the other hand, Trainers can use multiple standard Pokémon if they do not have any of the powerful roster options above.
