Brock's Croagunk (Japanese: タケシのグレッグル Takeshi's Gureggru) was the first Pokémon Brock captured in the Sinnoh region, and the ninth overall. Its Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 Katsuyuki Konishi.

Croagunk was first seen resting outside a supermarket. When Meowth emerged from it, Croagunk followed him to where Team Rocket was using a fake gym to steal unsuspecting trainers' Pokémon. While their plan was going badly, as it required Jessie to win, and her Dustox kept losing, she decided to use Croagunk and soon won many battles.

After Ash Ketchum and his friends entered the gym, Croagunk lost against Ash's Aipom. Team Rocket resorted to grabbing Ash's Pikachu and running off, leaving Croagunk behind in the process. Brock was the first to notice Croagunk and, feeling a connection, Croagunk later willingly went into Brock's Poké Ball.

Like Brock's Bonsly, Croagunk has attacked Brock in order to continue the series' running gag of keeping Brock away from the girls who are the objects of his affection. When doing this, it usually uses Poison Stab.

Croagunk has been shown to have its own pace for things like eating, attacking, or following Brock. Similar to Ash's Treecko, it is also a bit of a loner, perferring to sit alone when eating or just resting.

It is a very powerful Pokémon as demonstrated in its debut episode where it beat many trainers while it was with Jessie. It has since become Brock's main battling Pokémon and has proved its power again and again.
