      Recommended moves

      The middle evolution of a Starter family doesn’t have any standing in PvE usage. Always click ‘Evolve’ for further inspection. 🔬

      ⚔️ Raids

      In a meta ruled by Primal and Shadow Kyogre, it’s difficult to make a name for oneself. Some Pokémon try and are considered good Water-type contenders, but Croconaw doesn’t even have scope in this discussion. 😩

      🛡️ Gyms

      Underwhelming stat numbers don’t help Croconaw’s case as a Gym defender. 🚫

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Croconaw simply doesn’t make the impact necessary to be considered worthwhile.

      🟡 Ultra League

      Maxing out at only 1947 CP, don’t expect anything at all from Croconaw in the Ultra League. 🤐

      🟣 Master League

      An evolvable Pokémon needs to be in its final evolution stage to even be considered for the Master League. No Croconaw, lol. 😂
