This compares base numbers and the type chart; it does not predict a winner. A real battle also depends on level, nature and EVs, the moves each one knows (a Pokémon does not always learn a move of its own type), held items, weather and terrain, and abilities (Typhlosion: Blaze, Flash Fire; Feraligatr: Torrent, Sheer Force), so either one can come out ahead.

Who moves first?

At Level 50 with 252 Speed EVs, 31 IVs and a neutral nature, Typhlosion has 152 Speed and Feraligatr has 130, so Typhlosion moves first when both use moves of the same priority and no item, ability, status or stat change gets in the way.

Type matchup, both ways

Typhlosion (Fire) attacking Feraligatr

Fire ½×. Using only its own type, Typhlosion hits Feraligatr for ½× with Fire moves (not very effective).

Feraligatr (Water) attacking Typhlosion

Water 2×. Using only its own type, Feraligatr hits Typhlosion for 2× with Water moves (super effective).

What hits each one for 2× or more

• Typhlosion: Water 2× (super effective), Ground 2× (super effective), Rock 2× (super effective).
• Feraligatr: Electric 2× (super effective), Grass 2× (super effective).

The multipliers come from the 18×18 type chart; what a Pokémon can actually use depends on the moves it learns.
