Fitting Krookodile on your team

■ Intimidate set

• The Intimidate set relies on lowering the opponent’s Attack to aid itself and teammates. This is helpful especially against 2 of the types that Krookodile resists.
• One of the recommended moves is Knock Off which nullify the effects of the opponent’s held item.

■ Moxie set

Countering Krookodile

Intimidate allows it to patch up its average Defense, this discourages the use of Physical attackers.

Therefore it is recommended to strike it with Sp. Attacks since this targets one of its several weaknesses.

As a matter of fact, some of the recommended types are durable Water and Fairy-Type Pokemon.

Examples of these include Azumarill and Sylveon, as both resist its Dark-Type attacks. Even though Azumarill’s attack will be lowered by an Intimidate variant Krookodile, its ability Huge Power almost disregards this effect unless the opponent decides to cycle Intimidates. On the other hand, Sylveon can return powerful STAB special attacks which are super effective against Krookodile.
