Feraligatr is returning to raids in Pokémon GO alongside its Johto cohorts. This time around, all three Pokémon will be debuting their Mega Evolutions in the mobile game. This excited many fans, as Mega Evolutions are added infrequently and rarely highlight starter Pokémon.
Best moves for Feraligatr in Pokémon GO
Feraligatr is a sole Water-type. This means that the strongest attacks will usually be Water-type since they benefit from S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus). This isn't always the case, but if players are ever hesitant about which moves to stick on to their Pokémon, staying within its typing would be a good idea.
Note: Moves with an asterisk (*) benefit from Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB) and will deal increased damage.
