Contest Feraligatr vs Swampert

[Ino-Chan]

Swampert is more useful, and use Stealth rocks. Only has one weakness as well.

 

[pokegod]

Feraligatr is bad a.

 

[Buizelfan!]

Swampert, even though its very ugly, it is strong

 

[Drake.]

Feraligatr can Swords Dance and KO Swampert. Swampert has no real strong points against Feraligatr. Also Feraligatr is based off an alligator/crocodile, while Swampert is based off a mud fish (wtf)

Swampert isn't so bad, though. Just compared to Feraligatr it is.

 

[Startmirca]

Swampert would use Yawn , Feraligatr falls asleep in the next turn , then Swampert uses Curse until Feraligatr wakes up and then Swampert uses EQ to win .

Plus Swampert has a better moveset and stats than Feraligatr . Swampert is the best Water/Ground while Feraligatr is easily replaced by Gyarados.

Swampert all the way! Because he evolves from my fav Pokemon Mudkip. And the first Pokemon I ever got was mudkip

 

[OceanicWildfire]

Hmmm... most likely Swampert just because of its moveset

 

[Rainami]

I like both of them, but I like Feraligatr more due to superior design, and it was my first Pokemon too.

 

[Roulette]

I'm going with Swampert. Great typing and it's pretty useful as a whole. Gatr is cool I guess, but falls short to most of the other water starters.

 

[Bouffalant Herdier]

Swampert. Feraligatr is supposed to be a powerhouse, but even though it's much bigger than Swampert and only has 5 less base stat points, its stats, typing and movepool don't gel particularly well, and it feels like the weaker Pokemon in almost every way. Swampert is probably the best Water/Ground type in the entire game, which is easily one of the best dual-types. Difficult to take down, (Without Grass moves) STAB Earthquake, 101 subs, excellent stats barring speed and just as useful in-game. Why can't all starters be this good?

 

[The Froakster]

Better looks: Feraligatr
Usefulness: Feraligatr, a Swords Dance or Dragon Dance boosted Waterfall that Swampert doesn't resist is pretty scary.
Who would win: Stated above
Favourite: Feraligatr, cooler, stronger.

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

Would have to go with Feraligatr on this one. As much as I like Swampert for its Water/Ground typing, Feraligatr has a far more appealing design.

 

[Oswin]

Feraligatr, because it's just so awesome and looks more intimidating that Swampert does. Battle wise I have no idea, I'd say Swampert though, as it has pretty good defences.

Who's more useful?
Swampert
Who'd win in a fight?
Swampert

Feraligatr

 

[Blue Dragon]

Who's more useful?
Swampert is more useful in my opinion and it gains it's previous Move Tutor moves once more in the new B/W2.

Who'd win in a fight?
Well if it's Feraligatr's Dragon Dance vs. Swampert's Curse I would say Swampert would stand a slightly better chance if it doesn't receive a critical hit.

Who do you like better?
It's tough because I do love them both, but Swampert looks better for me and I love it's concept.

I accidentally voted for Feraligatr, but my vote is actually meant for Swampert.

 

[SimH5]

Both awesome and the two coolest water starters, but I choose Feraligatr.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Swampert. Better design, typing and overall usefulness. Feraligatr is the only Johto starter I can't appreciate, his design is just... atrocious.

 

[PaulTheProtist]

Swampert. He looks like a true swamp monster and he is the only Pokémon thus far to pull off the Water-Ground type combo. I also like his varied movepool and nice stats.

 

[Tusken Raider]

Who's more useful?

Swampert.

Who'd win in a fight?

Probably Swampert.

Who do you like better?

Kinda tough to decide...I'll pick Feraligatr since I've only used that Pokémon species more in the games. Swampert has a better color scheme though.

 

[bboyrei]

Who's more useful? Feraligatr, due to Sheer Force. Swampert's mega is completely dependent on rain.

Who'd win in a fight? Tough call, aesthetically regular Gatr could take on regular Swampert, but have a hard time against the muscle bound mega. 1 on 1 gameplay wise Feraligatr due to Water being neutral against Swampert.

Who do you like better? Feraligatr
