Overview

Despite evolving late, Feroceros is one of the best Ground types to have on a team. It has a great typing, a cool design and a powerful physical attacker with great bulk with an okay Special Attack stat of 75 to work with. It does have a few flaws, however: it doesn't learn Earthquake in contrast to Rynos, who can at Level 49 and it is slow though this is mitigated by its' defenses. The former is fixed in Procyon and Deneb since it can now learn it.

Flaws aside, Feroceros is one of the best Pokémon in the game and possibly one of the coolest.
