Biography
Krookodile first appeared as a Sandile, known as Sunglasses Sandile because of the sunglasses it wore, in A Sandile Gusher of Change and Here Comes the Trubbish Squad! until it evolved into Krokorok in Dancing With the Ducklett Trio! while battling Ash's Pikachu. It blasted off after getting defeated in both BW012 and BW020, sparking a rivalry with Pikachu. It was also set to reappear in BW023, however it was postponed due to timing.

Krookodile reappeared in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin! as a Krokorok and was captured by Ash in Battling the Bully!, officially making him part of the team and the ninth Pokémon Ash caught in Unova.

In BW070, Krookodile battled against Skyla and her Swoobat and was defeated with Air Cutter. In BW080, he and Ash did some training with Brycen and his Beartic. In BW081, it was used in the Icirrus City Gym where he was used against Brycen's Vanillish but was quickly recalled. He was later used against Brycen's Beartic where he won, winning Ash the Freeze Badge. Since it fully evolved it became a real powerhouse in his team defeated Iris' Dragonite with its new power and its speed has increased.
