>>40417729>Thunder Punch.At level 36. Croconaw has Surf at 25, and Totodile has Ice Punch the moment you reach Goldenrod.
>FlamethrowerTyph gets it at Level 60(or via a post-Johto tutor in Crystal). Typh is stuck with Fire Punch until then, which by the way isn't enough to hit harder than Feraligatr does with Surf.
>Dig60 BP move on a special attacker really makes me quake. Feraligatr line uses it better anyway.
>earthquake, iron tail, return.Feraligatr does it better, and Iron Tail is shit.
Feraligatr:
-Hits equally hard on the special side with STAB for a massive chunk of the game.
-Massively outpunches Typhlosion on the physical end.
-Is bulkier
-Has access to his coverage options from the start while Typh has to wait forever.
-Evolves earlier.
-Matches up better against Johto gyms.
Feraligatr is significantly better than Typhlosion in Gen II.
