Krokorok Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Krokorok isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Krookodile to unlock its full potential. At 351 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Sandile evolves into Krokorok at level 29. Krokorok evolves into Krookodile at level 40. Krokorok is a middle-stage evolution in the Sandile line.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Intimidate on Krokorok. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Krokorok also gets Moxie and Anger Point, but they don't compare.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Krokorok fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 82 Attack. Base 74 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's fragile, can't afford to take many hits.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Krokorok has appeared in 9 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
