Read more ↓Krookodile, the Intimidation Pokémon, is a dual-type Ground/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is the final evolution of Sandile, evolving from Krokorok at level 40. Native to the deserts of the Unova region, Krookodile are known for their powerful jaws and aggressive nature. They are often depicted lurking in sand, waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by. Their dark coloration and intimidating gaze contribute to their reputation as formidable predators. In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum famously owned a Krookodile, highlighting its loyalty and strength in battles. Its dual typing gives it unique advantages and disadvantages; it is immune to Electric-type attacks and resistant to Poison, Rock, Ghost, and Dark types, but vulnerable to Water, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Bug, and Fairy moves. Krookodile's design, inspired by crocodiles and alligators, emphasizes its ferocity and raw power, making it a popular choice for trainers seeking a physically imposing Pokémon for their team. Its ability, Intimidate, lowers the opponent's Attack stat upon entering battle, further solidifying its role as a threat.
