Character info
The character
Krookodile is a Ground/Dark-type Pokémon known as the Intimidation Pokémon, the final evolution of Sandile and Krokorok. It is recognized for the dark markings around its eyes that resemble sunglasses, which it uses to see heat sources and track prey even in blinding desert light. In the games and anime it is depicted as a powerful, cunning desert predator and a notable member of crime boss Giovanni's team in some media appearances.
This card
This is Krookodile ex, card number 055 out of 86 from the Chaos Rising set, printed in 2025 in a holo treatment with RR rarity. The artwork by 5ban Graphics shows Krookodile lunging forward with jaws open against a fiery desert backdrop, emphasizing motion and aggression. The card is a Stage 2 Pokémon that evolves from Krokorok.
How it plays
This Stage 2 Pokémon has 320 HP and a Darkness energy type, with weakness to Grass-type attacks (x2) and a retreat cost of three energy. Its first attack, Corner, costs one Darkness and one Colorless energy, deals 80 damage, and prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent's next turn. Its second attack, Strong Bite, costs two Darkness and one Colorless energy, deals 140 damage plus an additional 140 if this Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool attached. As a Pokémon ex, if it is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one.
