Ash's Krookodile: Difference between revisions
Spelling, removed a few words, replaced "its" with he-terms to remain consistant.
(→Trivia: I don't think that is that important. It isn't really trivial about the Pokemon, but about how we know what we know about it.) |

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash sent Krookodile out to battle {{an|Meloetta}} after {{AP|Oshawott}} had refused to battle it, not wanting to hurt the Pokémon he loved. Meloetta started the battle with {{m|Hyper Voice}}, which was strong enough to push Krookodile back. The Intimidation Pokémon then attacked with Stone Edge, which was, however, blocked by Meloetta's {{m|Close Combat}}, much to Krookodile's astonishment and annoyance. Ash then told Krookodile to use Dragon Claw, but before the attack could hit, the battle was interrupted by [[Ridley]]'s {{p|Golurk}}, as he thought they were trying to hurt Meloetta. The Melody Pokémon was, however, able to convince him that Ash and his friends were harmless. | In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash sent Krookodile out to battle {{an|Meloetta}} after {{AP|Oshawott}} had refused to battle it, not wanting to hurt the Pokémon he loved.

In [[BW106]], Ash chose Krookodile as his first Pokémon in his [[Higaki Conference]] battle against [[Stephan]] and his {{p|Liepard}}. The battle started with a clash of Liepard's {{m|Shadow Claw}} and Krookodile's Dragon Claw, after which Liepard followed in suit with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which was countered by Krookodile's Stone Edge. | In [[BW106]], Ash chose Krookodile as his first Pokémon in his [[Higaki Conference]] battle against [[Stephan]] and his {{p|Liepard}}. The battle started with a clash of Liepard's {{m|Shadow Claw}} and Krookodile's Dragon Claw, after which Liepard followed in suit with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which was countered by Krookodile's Stone Edge. Liepard then tried to attack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which Krookodile avoided with Dig. To prevent Krookodile from attacking Liepard after resurfacing, Stephan had Liepard use {{m|Double Team}}. Thanks to this, Liepard was able to strike Krookodile with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball in succession, before Krookodile finally managed to strike Liepard with a Stone Edge. However, Liepard quickly hid itself amongst its copies again with another Double Team, and successfully hit Krookodile with a Hyper Beam, despite of his attempt of a Dig dodge. Ash then told Krookodile to use Dragon Claw once again while Stephan had Liepard to use Shadow Claw again as well. As this sideswipe of moves didn't cause either of the weakened Pokémon to fall down, the same clash was then repeated, and this time, Liepard was defeated. When Stephan sent out {{p|Zebstrika}}, Ash recalled Krookodile. The Intimidation Pokémon was later sent out to battle with Stephan's final Pokémon: {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}}. After a fierce exchange of Dragon Claw and {{m|Close Combat}}, when Sawk prepared to strike back with {{m|Karate Chop}}, Ash took Stephan by surprise by telling his Pokémon to use a new move: {{m|Aerial Ace}}. The super effective move on the {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon did its work, and Sawk was defeated, winning the match for Ash and eliminating Stephan from the tournament. | ||

As a Sandile, Krookodile was shown to have a very caring side, trying to save a group of wild Pokémon after sensing an imminent geyser eruption in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''. He's also extremely competitive, confident and proud of his abilities, even to go so far as to follow Ash throughout his entire journey, up until ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', wanting to battle against Pikachu, seeing him as a [[rival]]. However, it was revealed in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio]]'' that whenever he would lose | As a Sandile, Krookodile was shown to have a very caring side, trying to save a group of wild Pokémon after sensing an imminent geyser eruption in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''.

However, it was revealed in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio]]'' that whenever he would lose his trademark sunglasses, he would immediately become timid and begin to cry until he got them back, scrambling to find them. | ||
After evolving into Krokorok, Krookodile is still smart and compassionate, however he has been shown to be quite reckless, causing problems he never meant to; for instance throwing [[Cedric Juniper]]'s pen away and it getting stuck in a {{p|Klinklang}} when Krookodile was not looking, and is still timid without his sunglasses. He also tends to react suddenly, often attacking without warning. Krookodile seems to prefer to help those that need | After evolving into Krokorok, Krookodile is still smart and compassionate, however he has been shown to be quite reckless, causing problems he never meant to; for instance throwing [[Cedric Juniper]]'s pen away and it getting stuck in a {{p|Klinklang}} when Krookodile was not looking, and is still timid without his sunglasses. He also tends to react suddenly, often attacking without warning. Krookodile seems to prefer to help those that need him though, such as when {{an|Mick}} was battling with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and needed a second Pokémon to battle against [[Sean]] and [[Glenn]]. After he became a Krookodile, he has become a real powerhouse and is quite fast, being able to defeat powerful opponents like [[Iris's Dragonite]] and [[Stephan's Sawk]]. | ||
