>>32589067>Feraligatr is not obtained before QuagsireYes, and? It still puts in a bit more work in general even as Totodile/Croconaw. The only thing I can think of that Quagsire will do better at is the occasional Electric-type and Weezing but Surf smashes those anyway. Imo Quagsire is the one most deserving over Feraligatr aside from the Red Gyarados because its easier to obtain and learns Earthquake through level-up.
>It does not have a better learnset than Slowbro/king or GolduckI never said it did, but a quick look through their learnsets doesn't really give anything beyond learning Psychic later and Fire Blast.
>It does not level easier than any of those past level 10 and it's not a good special attacker which isn't good in gen 2It's obtained much earlier than they are and again, will put in some more work. Slowking requires trading and Slowbro means you're stuck with Slowpoke for fucking ages especially in Johto with its fucked up level curve. Furthermore Golduck is locked a bit further beyond in GS and still doesn't offer much over Feraligatr beyond learning Psychic in Kanto. At that point the dealbreaker comes from "what does more earlier" and Feraligatr wins there.
You'd have a better argument with the Red Gyarados which is pretty worth it to grab as soon as you beat Morty. Surf still smashes things and it's not like Feraligatr has base 50 special attack or something. It's still serviceable.
>The others all have something of note. Feraligatr has nothing.Except for being obtained earlier and murdering things better early on.
I get what you're saying but Feraligatr just contributes more to a run from a cost-benefit viewpoint.
