How does Feraligatr 12 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

What Feraligatr 12 does without attacking

Feraligatr 12 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Major Tsunami — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Feraligatr is your Active Pokémon and if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, your opponent switches his or her Active Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon. Either way, if you have any Benched Pokémon, switch Feraligatr with 1 of them. This power can't be used if Feraligatr is affected by a Special Condition.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Major Tsunami can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

Is Feraligatr 12 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 70 damage attack that needs 4 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

Of the 635 cards in the archive that can remove Feraligatr 12 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 60.

What is Feraligatr as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Feraligatr 12 is one print of Feraligatr. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

What has to be in play before Feraligatr 12 can be?

Feraligatr evolves from Croconaw, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Croconaw.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (180 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Feraligatr print, and can the older ones still be played?

29 prints carry this name in the archive, and 20 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (370 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Feraligatr 12 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Rending Jaws, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 18 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Croconaw has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 4,897 of 17,290

Water cardsNo. 656 of 2,435

Stage 2 cardsNo. 1,297 of 1,749

Expedition Base SetNo. 1 of 136

What actually removes it

A Lightning attack printed at 60 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
639 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,338 cards in one attack.

Feraligatr 12 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Feraligatr 12?

Feraligatr 12 has 120 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 60 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 120.

What is the strongest attack on Feraligatr 12?

Rending Jaws, printed at 70 damage for 4 Energy — 18 damage per Energy card. If here are no damage counters on the Defending Pokémon, this attack's base damage is 40 instead of 70.

What is the retreat cost of Feraligatr 12?

3 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

How often can you use Major Tsunami?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Feraligatr in play carries its own use.

Can an older Feraligatr print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 20 prints listed on this page, 2 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Feraligatr evolve from?

Croconaw. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Feraligatr 12 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Feraligatr 12 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
