DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

@scraftyisthebest1309 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, lower tier player here since Gen 5. Just wanted to point out one thing about Krookodile: it was actually RU in extremely early BW1, and it was a very strong sweeper in that tier when it existed in RU. It moved up to UU halfway in BW1 and was actually really good for a long time there because Moxie sweeping was fantastic in tandem with Deoxys-D setting hazards and with sets like CB and even Life Orb/Bulk Up it was a very competent cleaner/breaker in BW1 UU. BW2 is where it sort of fell apart because MoxieCross became a thing and tended to overshadow it as a cleaner. Even then it still had its niches because while it didn't have the raw power of Heracross, it functioned a bit differently. Its extra Speed tier+different STAB combo helped it quite a bit in outspeeding stuff like Nidoking, Scarf Flygon+Rotom-H, and Venomoth, and it had STAB Pursuit which came in handy at times. Not to mention its Electric immunity which was great for Raikou and the ability to revenge Chandelure when it was legal. Plus its STABs covered quite a few things in UU like Nidoqueen, Qwilfish, and vice versa especially after the meta became adapted to Fighting-types. It had a lot of stiff competition in BW2, but it still had a couple of valuable traits that kept it used. Also I never used Intimidate+Rocks in BW2 but I think that set would've been really fun to use in hindsight haha.

If the target has a burn, this attack's power is doubled." I thought they'd make this move real in gen 8 but it didn't happen, although Fishious Rend is extremely close to what I predicted. I also want a move called "Dragon Sniff" (The user smells and identifies the target. This allows Fairy types to be hit with Dragon type moves.), but I know they'll never make this move. XD

Also it has a specific but hugely important niche in gen 8 ou (but only for a while since urshifu was banned recently) Urshifu and it’s choice band Wicked Blows we’re tearing up the tier, 0khoing defensive behemoths such as ferrothorn. Wicked Blow’s gimmick is that it always lands in a critical hit, so Krookodile used its hidden ability Anger Point (which maxes a Pokémon’s attack when hit by a critical hit) and wielded a choice scarf to punish Wicked Blows and was one of the only ways to punish it for a while.

Honestly, Ash's unova team had the most diversity. It had the grass-fire-water core, it had boldore for being a physical wall, palpitoad for more bulk and coverage, and krookodile as his variety mon. In theory, this diversity is better than his gen 6 team. But again, just as you said, if only he had gigalith and/or seismitoad. This team's potential was severely wasted. This team couldve hit almost every single pokemon with a super effective move. This couldve been one of, if not, his strongest teams in the history of the anime.

It may not be the world's best beater. But for my playthrough of every Pokemon game, this thing can wreck havoc. Hope it gets some buffs in the future. I would give it Dragon Dance, Sucker Punch, Gunk Shot & Ice Fang for it's new moves and I would switch Intimated into Strong Jaw as it's other Ability.

If I recall correctly, there was this Battle Tree team I had downloaded in my version of Sun that abused Power Trip and the fact that Krookodile could also have Anger Point as an ability. The goal was to use moves that always crit on your own Krookodile or Crabominable to trigger Anger Point and then proceed to decimate everything that existed. It was also a Trick Room team for further degeneracy that had a Staraptor with Final Gambit and maybe someone with Explosion. I believe it also included an Oranguru. Fun stuff, and effective.

I was very surprised that you didn't mention its hidden ability Anger Point. I always run it on my Krookodile and it's very useful if you have one bulky enough to take a crit.

That special typing really set Krookadile apart from the crowd, but those typings don't synergize together like other dual types, which leads to a myriad of weaknesses for pokemon that can outspeed it.
