Once again going into the 4th Generation Competitive Battling strategies, we are covering our one-hundred & thirty-second Pokémon. Today, we come to the conclusion of our three week HeartGold/SoulSilver tie-in special. It usually moves slowly, but it goes at blinding speed when it attacks and bites prey. It opens its huge mouth to intimidate enemies. In battle, it runs using its thick and powerful hind legs to charge the foe with incredible speed. It is hard for it to support its own weight out of water, so it gets down on all fours. So here it is, the one hundred & thirty-second featured Pokémon, Feraligatr.
