The water test is actually the easiest of all the tests because Feraligatr has an easy way to deal with its weakness: Mega Evolution. Mega Feraligatr is a water/dragon-type Pokemon, canceling its 2x weakness to Grass-type moves. Water/Dragon is one of the better defensive typings in Pokemon, and Mega Feraligator is only weak to Dragon and Fairy-type moves.

Protect can be used when things don't go to plan, while Breaking Swipe is quick here, to chip down the last remaining health of any Pokemon that don't want to go down STAB.
