Nomming Krookodile from B- to B
Krookodile is extremely similar to Incineroar, being an Intimidate user with access to Bulk Up. However, Krookodile has some qualities that separate it from Incineroar and grants it a certain advantage
>Krookodile has access to a Ground-type Z move, not Dark-type, which generally is better coverage in the 1v1 metagame
>Thanks to this, alongside Rock Tomb, Krookodile can beat several Pokemon the main Incineroar sets cannot, such as Magearna, Zygarde, Mega Lopunny, Mega Tyranitar, Heatran, Mega Aggron, Garchomp, Donphan, Golem, and Crustle, while still maintaining good matchups against other common threats such as Charizard X, Aegislash, Magnezone, Mega Metagross, Zeraora, and Mega Mawile
>This is balanced by Krookodile's inability to deal with threats such Dragonite, Mega Charizard Y, Scarf Porygon Z, Tapu Lele, offensive Mew, Meloetta, Genesect, Celesteela, Naganadel and Mega Slowbro.
>Krookodile also can fit on Taunt in its moveset much more easily than Incineroar, which requires Fake Out, Dark- and Fire-type STABs, and Bulk Up to make its most optimal spread, giving Krookodile additional positive matchups against threats such as Jumpluff, Type: Null, Chansey, and Pyukumuku.
In summary, Incineroar and Krookodile follow the same archetype, but, unlike Donphan and Golem, they trade off matchups pretty evenly, instead of one being better only in niche situations.
So yeah. If anyone has any questions, respond to this post, but i have a final to take rn.
