Croagunk (Japanese: グレッグル Gureggru) is a Poison/Fighting-type Pokémon.

Contents

Biology

Physiology

Croagunk resembles a dark blue bipedal frog, with a white band around its waist area and red and black markings on its hands and feet. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a Muay Thai fighter. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to poison opponents by stabbing them.

Gender differences

The two white stripes that run across Croagunk's abdomen will be higher up if it is a female.

Trivia

  • Croagunk's English name, along with numerous others, was released on 13th February 2007. Due to the poor quality of the image, it was believed its name was "Croalurk". It was later officially revealed to be Croagunk.
  • Croagunk is able to learn X-Scissor even though it doesn't have claws or scythes.
  • Croagunk is the mascot of Pastoria City.
  • Croagunk and its evolution Toxicroak are the only Pokémon to have a x4 weakness to Psychic attacks.

Origin

Croagunk may have been based on the poison dart frog.

Name origin

Croagunk is probably a combination of croak and gunk. The Japanese name comes ケロケロ kerokero, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking, and げろげろ gerogero, the Japanese word that's used to describe something disgusting. It may also be derived from 汚れ yogore, filth. Its German name, Glibunkel, comes from Glibber and Unke. Its French name, Cradopaud, comes from crapaud and crado, a familiar term for dirty.
