>>38491530These are all terrible arguments.
>>38491393This one will never happen, and one situational instance isn’t enough to warrant its usage over Feraligatr when it shouldn’t be used in OU in the first place. That’s not even Koko’s most common set and it can’t even outspeed that set either. Why are you even bringing this up? It doesn’t apply at all.
>>38491208Feraligatr can live non-STAB Thunderbolts; this is actually brought up as a point in its favor. Kingler can’t survive those as well. It’ll struggle to shrug off even neutral special hits and thus, loses longevity... which makes Feraligatr better for sweeping.
>>38491137Knock Off doesn’t compensate for the lack of coverage which is why Feraligatr is used more often.
Remember: if Kingler was better, competitive autists would actually use it.
