Krookodile's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Krookodile PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

The intimidating Krookodile boasts decent stats and a good Ground/Dark moveset. 🐊

This gives it some viability in both types, but it’s overtaken by many Pokémon in terms of damage output. Still, it’s a solid budget option for Ground and Dark roles, so don’t underestimate it! 🙂🙂

💥 The best PvE moves for Krookodile are:

  • Mud-Slap & Earthquake (Ground)
  • Snarl & Crunch (Dark)

⚔️ Raids

Krookodile keeps things interesting in raids, whether as a Ground or Dark-type counter. It’s reliable enough to put down the line of counters. 🥰

🛡️ Gyms

The Sandile line’s poor defensive stats continue to be a problem. With just 158 Defense, Krookodile disappoints as a Gym defender. 😢

Krookodile PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Krookodile faces a tough time in the Great League due to its six weaknesses and inadequate bulk, which form a frustrating duo. Despite having offensive potential, its high loss rate tarnishes its reputation in this PvP tier. 😱

🟡 Ultra League

Krookodile struggles in the Ultra League with the same issues it has in the Great League. While it earns wins against Ampharos, Guzzlord, Typhlosion, Shadow Drapion, Tentacruel, and Giratina Altered, this narrow win column isn’t enough to make it a consistent choice. 😭

🟣 Master League

Trying to compete in the Master League doesn’t turn out well for Krookodile. It does win against Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Dialga Origin, Melmetal, and Mewtwo, but the GBL demands consistent performers who can secure frequent victories, and Krookodile just doesn’t meet those standards. 😖
