Krookodile (Japanese: ワルビアル Waruvial) is a dual-type Ground/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Krokorok starting at level 40. It is the final form of Sandile.

Biology

Krookodile has a thick maroon-colored body, black back, and white stomach. It has five triangular spikes on its back: four around the middle of its back, and one large one at the beginning of its tail. Each of the smaller spikes on its back are linked to black, triangular spikes that reach around to its front, slightly overlapping its white stomach. The largest spike sits at the beginning of its long thick tail, which has three, thick, black stripes. The last stripe covers the tip of the tail. Its legs are very short and directly attached to its feet. The feet are wrapped in black and have three white claws facing forward. Krookodile's arms are short and thin with a black stripe around the elbow. Its long, thin fingers are each tipped with a white claw.

Its head is slightly pointed and contains a distinctive black membrane that surrounds both eyes. The outline of the membrane angles upward sharply, coming to points above the top of Krookodile's head. It uses this distinctive look to harshly intimidate opponents. Its eyes are very powerful, with variable focus, allowing it to see things at a great distance. Its other notable feature is its long snout, containing a black stripe around the bridge, and large pointed nostrils on the end. Four of its rear and two of its front teeth slightly overlap its lower jaw. Krookodile's jaws are extremely powerful, giving it the ability to crush objects as large and durable as an automobile. These features are topped by Krookodile's extremely violent temper. It has been known to clamp down on any moving object, and will do everything it can to make sure its prey cannot escape.

Krookodile is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Power Trip.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

• Pokémon Rumble Blast: Krookodile is one of the first of Cobalion's minions that the player encounters. It stole all of Toy Town and Easterly Town's Glowdrops, then was beaten by the player in the Mysterious Fort. It was later seen in the World Axle Front, where it is rusted like the rest of Cobalion's army.
• Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Krookodile is a local gangster in Lively Town. When warning letters start appearing around town stating that Legendary Pokémon are the targets of petrification incidents and that Entei would be the next target, the Expedition Society soon suspects Krookodile is behind the incidents. After the player, partner, and Archen pursue Krookodile to the top of Revelation Mountain, it is revealed that it was a trap set up by Nuzleaf and that he paid Krookodile to write the letters. Nuzleaf then summons Yveltal and the two of them turn everyone, including Krookodile, to stone.
