Feraligatr from the Temporal Forces expansion is a useful single Prize Attacker. The Water-type starter from Johto and Legends Z-A can easily reach damage ranges similar to those of Pokemon ex, but only at the cost of a single Prize if it gets KO’d. As such, this deck is a very high-risk one to use but promises a high reward if played well.

Pokemon TCG Best Feraligatr Deck Guide Overview

This deck revolves around Feraligatr and its ability, Torrential Heat. This ability increases the power of its move Giant Wave to 280 at the cost of dealing 50 damage to itself. To get around the issue of not being able to attack with Giant Wave next turn, Relicanth will be on the Bench to let Feraligatr use its pre-evolution moves thanks to its ability, Memory Dive.

Decks that are heavily reliant on Fire-types like Charizard ex and Blaziken extend to fold against Feraligatr due to several key cards having a weakness to Water.

Something to consider while using this deck

  • Buddy-Buddy Poffin and Artazon are useful for getting Shaymin and Totodile on your Bench quickly.
  • Luxurious Cape can boost Feraligatr’s HP. However, be careful as if it gets KO’d with this Tool attached, your opponent will take two Prizes instead of one.
