Feraligatr can function similarly to Gyarados, but lacks a lot of the things that makes Gyarados so threatening. Still, it's a solid option and is actually better at taking the ice beams and ice shards that get aimed at Mega Sceptile.
>>39377551Stall in OU isn't nearly as bad as it was in Gen 6, and is only really viable in the lower elos where hyper offense is trying to prey on other offense teams and doesn't bring a dedicated stallbreaker or stall-based wallbreakers. If anything, Stall being a weak composition is what makes it so powerful in high elo; players don't feel like they need to come prepared for it since it's not as prevalent, which leads to them losing at team preview when they aren't properly prepared.
