    With the recent release of Feraligatr having a hidden ability of sheer force, I grew a little scared for a few reasons.

    • He gets dragon dance
    • Great movepool which can be affected by sheer force (waterfall, crunch, ice punch, etc.)
    • Sheer force negates life orb damage when used with moves like these
    So what do you all think? What tier will Feraligatr be in with the new release? What kind of potential will it have? Does it seem like a viable option to use, or are there too many counters and checks?

    At the VERY LEAST, it'll be UU. It has a very good chance of actually replacing Nidoking/Queen as Sheer Force users in UU. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in OU

    Mod Edit; Please do not double post.

    I think HA Feraligatr will excel. On top of its newly acquired brute strength, it has some decent bulk and HP; and not to mention, only two weaknesses. It can still be crippled by the likes of Burn of Paralysis, however. One might substitute the Life Orb for a Lum Berry. Either way, Feraligatr will probably crawl its way up to UU or OU from what I'm predicting.

    I think UU is chances are, what it will shine in. It will NOT outclass them, but the 3 will be in stiff competition.
    However, Feraligator is the better 'sweeper', also remember SD feraligatr is a thing.
    Nidoking/queen though have great special movepools though.

    Feraligatr is a sweeping threat already without Sheer Force, so I think that it could go all the way up to UU with that new kind of power.
