Black and White Analysis: Krookodile/Waruvial

[clubpenguin580]

krookodile or excadrill

[101FallingRock]

This Pokémon reminds me a lot of a dinosaur. Especially the giant super predators like Baryonyx. I see a great resemblance.

[Mynigameguy710]

Mine has gentle for a nature characteristic: likes to fight I don't understand Evs ability is moxie moves: foul play earthquake outrage and focus blast. Focus blast helps with ice types but my team is mostly attack based so does anyone have some advice on giving it a special attack replacement. This normally works well but I am a little nervous. Item: razor fang.

[rioluxiomastaraptor]

rykard, what's your opinion, what's better a scrafty with shed skin, or with moxie?

[rioluxiomastaraptor]

is jolly your fav. nature???

[edmundpark]

Isn't Overconfidence called "Moxie" in the English version?

[pokepwner27]

@edmundpark Yes

[zakaria888]

is this 3rd evolution?

[pokepwner27]

@zakaria888 Technically second. Sandile->Krokorok->Krookodile. I'm thinking about getting this guy. He has decent speed and attack so he's a bitch to take down. -_-

[RSJVillyV]

Krookodile is fucking BOSS! Definitely my favorite Pokemon in Black and White.

[Uchiha99ML]

Outrage,Foul Play,Dragon Claw and Earthquake

[MunkyDrag0n]

Pokemon have serious anatomy problems when you consider where their inspirations are. Hippowdon is based on a hippo, which is an aquatic mammal. Hippowdon is ground type and takes SUPEREFFECTIVE hits from water. Same thing with crocodillians and Krookodile. Oh well, it's a Japanese turn-based, cute-animal cockfighting game. Can't expect it to make sense.

[ButterflyFrosting]

He's not a alligator, he's a crocodile...;;

[t7trebor]

Here's my Krookodile

Ability: Moxie

Nature: Jolly

EV: Attk-252, Spd-252, HP-6

Moves: Earthquake, Stone edge, Crunch, Aerial ace

[MasterMonsters]

@t7trebor I would go for foul play over crunch over that nice set

[t7trebor]

@MasterMonsters Foul play is a nice move but it takes your opponent attack stats to do damage, My Krookodile already has high attack stat plus attack boost from Moxie, maybe I'll replace Aerial ace for Foul play. Thanks.

[comedianboy567]

Warubiaru/Waruvial is my favorite B/W Pokemon.

[bonelesswing182]

My fav Krookodile set:

Moxie, brave nature, and leftovers

Dig

Foul Play

Earthquake

Payback

Its reduced speed would help with payback to give it a 100 base power to take out the first opponent, Moxie would kick in to help its physical moves and sweep opponents with Earthquake/Foul Play and Dig to hide from 2 turn moves like fly or SolarBeam

[DontRepYourCity]

Honestly, I would've never noticed Krookodile's nose looking like a dick if nobody had mentioned it. Thanks to the internet, my mind has been corrupted & placed in a gutter

[markymalarky1990]

@DontRepYourCity Your dick as 2 japs eyes?

[santuario2]

can someone tell me a good moveset for krokodile in the moveset that rykard shows i only have 2 of those crunch and earthquake i need 2 more sets can someone help me

[blackstarlilc24]

yup moxie and choice scarf can sweep people

[Jaricko]

I hate this darn thing :O still going threw the main story of pokemon white and am only now starting to look into ev training and so far his pre evolution state has rocked most of my bulky pokemon.

[Treemeslave]

what do u want from a pokemon? i want a pokemon with two types that can take on several type, a pokemon with great attack and its fast, one that can take hits and give its foes double what they asked for. this is the definition of krokodile

[santuario2]

how can i make sandile learn the move thunder fang.

i know i have to breed them but i dont know which pokemon in its evolutions i have to put

[rayquazaisthebest]

I was lucky with this pokemon because on my first attempt to catch a Sandile I got an Adamant Nature with the ability Moxie/Overconfidence

[RaminZilla]

for the first moveset, you can also use bulldoze for STAB and the same effect instead of low sweep/ankle sweep

[Krookodile]

My favorite fifth generation Pokemon.

[zorg311]

I like this thing to, asspecially when it has outrage.

[echofinder598]

princeboo made use of anger piont on tauros by using vigoroth with max speed and fury swipes.

[Cemig1001]

overconfidence is moxie in the english version its an epic beast

[theluigifan1]

My team:

Samurott Lvl. 79

Serperior Lvl. 77

Metagross Lvl. 72

Lucario Lvl. 71

Krookodile Lvl. 67

Zekrom Lvl. 55 (In training along with Krookodile)

Is my team good?

[CesarSnipezz]

@theluigifan1 my black team WAS:

Serperior Lvl. 80

Lucario Lvl. 85

Bisharp Lvl. 79

Kyurem Lvl. 95

Reshiram Lvl. 68 (was training it)

Gothitelle Lvl. 82 you could easily KO my team.

[theluigifan1]

@CesarSnipezz My team is stronger and now i have Garchomp (Lv. 63) & Shiny Rayquaza (Lv. 100) instead of Krookodile and Zekrom (Zekrom was traded away for Rayquaza and i will bring Krookodile back soon).

[Oateseh1993]

@theluigifan1 hacked shiny rayquaza?

[theluigifan1]

@Oateseh1993 Nope. It was originally from Sinnoh (probably migrated from RSE).

[Oateseh1993]

@theluigifan1 not to be naive, but i seriously doubt that someone would trade away a shiny rayquaza for a zekrom...

[theluigifan1]

@Oateseh1993 But he did. And besides, he had two. He showed me the other one.

[Hippoman141]

i just swept with krookodile, it knows thunder fang, crunch, low sweep, and earthquake. it has moxie :D and a shell bell.

[santuario2]

@Hippoman141 how do you get to learn thunder fang i know you have to hatch sandile so which pokes did you put in the day care

did they have to be at certain level or what

[santuario2]

ankle sweep is a tm or a egg move

[pcbb01]

I find this pokemon a sarcasm to my country's public officials...as the animal crocodile is synonymous to a corrupt government official.....and its dark typing and its name only adds to it hahaha

[Rykard3]

@pcbb01 where are you from? This is pretty interesting lol

[FTWAsianGamer]

@Rykard3 LOVE YOUR VIDS MADE ME PUT A BLACK AND WHITE TEAM IN 10 SECONDS

[aceorduece]

@pcbb01 sounds interesting. that's even portrayed as a One Piece villian, Sir Crocodile.

[MrSaturnFanster]

What I like about Krookodile is that it can learn foul play

[dodoh3ed]

Whats EVs?

[dragonkyon]

i like ur 1st set but i would use bulldoze cause its same effect but gets stab 90 power

[shaynereece]

this pokemon is the best i have used for a while because even though he has alot of weaknesses is still found him one-hitting almost everything 

[PurplingYellow]

theoretically, wouldn't relaxed (+def, -spe) work better in conjunction with payback on the second set?

[Jay1Jay2Jay34]

i love/hate this thing...i kills when it attacks but dies when u attack...

[thesxex]

Hmm... I think I'd actually use him as a revenge killer/sweeper. He's no Dugtrio when it comes to revenge killing, but when he kills something, he gets an attack boost. Plus, he learns Outrage, which hits almost everything for at least neutral damage, so just slap a choice scarf on him and revenge/sweep. :D

[1spyromaster1]

level ground/bulldoze lowers the opponents speed and its a STAB move than is a physical attack that does special damage

[NightmareSpriter]

Umm you left out the ability Moxie wich Krookodiles can have.

[thesxex]

@NightmareSpriter No he didn't. It was called "overconfidence" before the translation.

[iOkamiDen]

anger point is for doubles or triples battle. ur side pokemon use focus energy and fury swipes(i prefer vigoroth) and see can u get a crit.hit

[animefreak4235]

Could a Focus Sash work if you decide to run Anger Point? Switch into one of the 100% crit moves and get the max attack, then sweep.

[WAZZATA]

I cant find a sandile with either jolly or impish nature, help ?

[pLacepartay]

you probably already know this, but in the english version, OverConvidence is called Moxie.

[GrizzyLatrizzy]

My Krookodile is currently level 81, and he definitely my favorite. Mine is armed with Crunch, Dig, Outrage, and Foul Play, and carries an Expert Belt. He straight up decimates Ghost and Psychic types.

[spinos94]

what should i train this or Excadrill/Doryuuzu?i really dont know

[Playerpoi]

The only thing that i don't like of this pokemon is his nose... in game looks like a red penis o_O

[FryDays5000]

@Playerpoi I fell on the floor laughing after I read your comment XD

[drmattisinthehouse]

@Playerpoi I agree. But if you think past that, Krookodile is a fuckin beast. Intimidate can save you from a direct physical attack that is Super Effective even. Moxie, or the Japanese name Overconfidence, is also useful for long stretch battles with Krookodile. Downsides for both abilities for Intimidate is the manuel boost of Attack, such as Swords Dance for example. As for Moxie, it gets annoying for very short battles or not even needed sometimes. Still a great Pkmn though.

[CascadeTheWarrior]

@Playerpoi I love this Pokemon because it looks like a red penis ....if you get what i'm saying... ;)

[kimflodin]

@Playerpoi i'm sorry to tell you this but if you can't tell the diffrence by a nose and a penis then you have down's syndrome :(

at least his head dosen't look like a set of balls...

either way this is a badass Pokémon

[Playerpoi]

@kimflodin If I had down syndrome I could nor even turn on a computer propertly, you should not play down with this desease u_u

And don't take my comment too seriously, it's just an opinion

[kimflodin]

@Playerpoi yes

[RattleheadAnthony]

@Playerpoi yeah... i think you have penises in your mind a lot... >_<

[Playerpoi]

@RattleheadAnthony mmm maybe ajajj

[SilentDesDragon]

It's quite good, it has good type coerage, and wicked ATK and Speed.

[CiviC092]

Why not fire fang in the first set? Fire fang covers 3 weaknesses

[Reaperdoctor]

Umm... Overconfidence is called Moxie in my game. Don't know why...

[kingdudejohn]

@Reaperdoctor He made these vids before the official names were released so the names aren't the same as they are now Moxie=Overconfidence

[Biznatch255]

@Reaperdoctor It's an old-english word that means Overconfident.

[ThePoisonedTaco]

nice man

[MrSaturn8881]

*sends out samurott* see you later *puts on sunglasses* alligator YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH­HHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jcw034]

@MrSaturn8881 FAIL!!!!

[Melkac]

Umm should I get this guy? Or Excadrill? Which do you think is better?

[llOrochill]

@Melkac krookodile of course !!!! super powerful with a good speed...complete pawnege >:c

[Melkac]

@llOrochill I wasn't requesting your opinnion...

[llOrochill]

@Melkac ummm...ok...sorry

[ThosePokes]

Do you have a cold

[phazonmangowarlord]

just looking through those stats, and i thought as another option, u could have the impish nature but with the moxie/overconfidence ability, that way, its a bit more of a tank or what ever. u get the physical attack up by defeating opponents, but also relativley deffencive, thats just me saying something by looking at the poke, but i will try it out soon

[HqComphelpqH]

I've swept two teams with this Poke! It rocks!

[cryer3160]

all evs in attack and speed, wear focus band and reversal... killer... put moxie to good use, maybe...

[zooka0619]

my krookodile is very fast and very physically powerfull, is that a good krookodile?

[Jango672]

My Team is

Emboarh lvl 59

Krookodile lvl 57

Haxorus lvl 56

Zoroark lvl 58

Braviary[(Wargle)Nickname] lvl 55

Zekrom lvl 60

How do you like my team. Comment and tell me what you think. I need opinions.

[burner1013]

@Jango672 ......Could I suggest rearranging your whole team?No offence though....

[kingdudejohn]

@Jango672 Your team is centered around huge attacks, your whole team is made up of huge attack pokemon but no defense pokemon I would recommend a pokemon like Ferrothorn or Gigalith so you could have some walls also you want a large Sp. Attacker I would recommend Chandelure or Hydreigon also you should have a recovery pokemon along with an annoyer pokemon my team is not done yet but mine is Excadrill, Chandelure, Ferrothorn, Cresselia, Whimsicott, and not sure about last one msg me for question

[Jango672]

@kingdudejohn Thank you for answering i shall start making the changes now

[elijahhandley]

@Jango672

I would get rid of one of your dark pokemom, and lose Zekrom cos no-one appreciates you using a legend. Your Dark pokemon should be Krookodile or Scrafty, both with Moxie ability and good physical stats and moves. Your replacement for Zekrom is your choice: I would normally recomend Chandelure, but you already own a Fire pokemon. If you can get your hands on a Serperior, get it to have Contrary with EV'd Sp.Atk and Leaf Storm

[Jango672]

@elijahhandley Thanks

[Jango672]

@elijahhandley Ok I changed my team now it is

Emboar

Krookodile

Zebstrika

Stoutland

Wargle

Haxorus

Is it any better?

[shaynereece]

@Jango672 here's mine that works well

Emboar

Krookidle

Cofaqrius(or whatever the coffin guy)

swana

klinklang

druddigon

[EllieSeyYo]

75/75 Sp.D/Def? HUH? I see 70... o.o;

[darkvulpix77]

My Krookodile has Earthquake, Crunch, Swagger, and Foul Play. I use swagger to increase the attack of the other pokemon, then demolish it with Foul Play. The others are just powerful moves that get STAB.

[OniGlalie]

@darkvulpix77

I never realised that Foul Play dealed more damage when the opponent has an attack boost. Thanks, I'm gonna try it out! =)

[darkvulpix77]

@OniGlalie I depends on the attack stat, and if it's attack got a boost.

[jrion2]

Hey Rykard3, can you do a vid explaining Ev's? the best ways to use them and how to use them and give us examples in a video? im sure we would ALL appreciate that and that could land you alot more subcribers, anyone agree?

[KickinChicken7]

@jrion2 i have no idea how to use ev's either. but im really trying to learn

[jrion2]

@KickinChicken7 i just figured out how to do em a few days ago xD only thing i dont understand now are the hidden powers..

[MrGamerGoat]

My Krookodile seems to work well using swagger to confuse/bring up their attack, and then using Foul Play to use the increased attack against them, as well as getting a nice STAB out.

[oldsoulyoungbody]

For those that are interested, this makes a great late game physical sweeper. Adamant-moxie 252-attack 252-speed 4-hp Outrage EQ Brick Break Crunch Item: Choice Scarf Bring him in on a downed poke, outspeed with scarf, get moxie boost, start sweeping.

[VictoryIsMudkipz]

@oldsoulyoungbody Im almost running that same set except stone edge in for brick break, running a jolly nature with 336 ATK 340Hp and 242 Speed, everything else is a little above 150 and oh yeah mines has a perism berry for a two round OR w/o switching

[ElBenjaEspinoza]

what? I'm searching for a pokemon video no a digimon video... oh wait...

[JoltikMJ01]

@LIGHTSWORNMASTER umm, yes? What's weird about that xD

[chaoticdarkblade319]

for the abbility i have moxie???

[yoda5432]

@chaoticdarkblade319 moxie = overconfidence

overconfidence is the japanese name for moxie.

[catdog5646]

looks like a digimon!

[TheUnitedPikachus]

Chuck Donoriss!

[53Spawn]

K. Rool was pissed he wasnt in DK country returns, and unleashed his rage in the pokemon world :o

[JoltikMJ01]

@53Spawn He isn't?! But this doesn't look like him...

[technofr3ak100]

wtf fuck r EVs and how do u add like 252 more freakin stat points to its original base stat?

[HqComphelpqH]

@technofr3ak100 look up EV training somewhere.

[cpmc1]

@technofr3ak100 There "effort values". Each Pokémon gives off atleast one in one stat, but usually stronger Pokémon or evolved will give more, but no more then two or three. Some Pokémon give off multiple EV's, such as Scrafty (Zuruzukin in Japanese), which gives 1 in both deffences. At max, a Pokémon can have 510 EV's in total, spread any way you want. Each stat can only have, at max, 252. 4 EV's = +1 in that stat you wouldn't have otherwise have gotten. Hope that helped. Check out, "IV's".

[technofr3ak100]

@cpmc1 thxs yea it did, also can u only get an increase in EVs by using bracers and medicines(proteins, calcium) only?

[cpmc1]

@technofr3ak100 Yes, they do help. The medicines will add 10 EV's to a specified stat, whith a max of 100 EV's (or 25 extra stats). You can not have more then that from them, and it will not increase that maximum EV amount. There is also something called "PoKéRuS" (I believe that is how it is spelled in game). It is a status that is passed onto other's in your team. It lasts for 24 hours, then it can't be spread. It resets in the PC. Individual effect stays. Effect: Doubles EV's gained. Stacks.

[SonicSanctuary]

so going to run this guy

[kynsijalkainen]

Yay Ground/Dark, always wanted one. :)

[Basisirj22]

omg its fuckin barnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pokemonrulez121]

krookodile rocks!

[IrishGuitarist]

STAB EQ is stronger than 2x SE Thunder Fang. And chances are he's not gonna live that long anyway, so Ankle Sweep isn't particularly useful, might as well let him deal as much damage as possible. Stone Edge gives him nice coverage alongside Crunch and EQ, and Pursuit is useful for trapping psychics and ghosts. Not trying to bad mouth your sets, just pointing out that he has better options. I'd say the Scarf set with OC is his best set.

[pty1996]

@IrishGuitarist where do u find it

[IrishGuitarist]

@pty1996 Honestly, I have no clue where to find it in-game. Most likely in this gen's equivalent to the Battle Tower.

[AllAmericanPie1]

@pty1996 you have to evolve it from sandile and you find them on route 4

[Gastlis]

I just want to throw this out there, you said 75 for both of its defense stats, but put 70 down for both of them in the video. Nice video though :D

[tarunaakatuna]

speed this shit up

[123twigy]

do u like waruvial or doryuuzu??

[bubutievska]

Abilities: Intimidate,MOXIE and Anger Point (DW)

[bubutievska]

Abilities: intimidate and MOXIE!!!!

[sevsthepokey]

This Pokemon's cry is awesome.

[Kawiia17]

PrinceBoo (on youtube) has pulled off the Anger Point ability pretty well with a Tauros. You should check it out!

[allonzorock]

man u really should be getting more views then this and by the way great job with the last set i used it and havent lost with it yet which means me + ur set = pissed off godbrother

[delroth156]

made more videos rykard and ill keep giving you shout-outs, I don't normally ask, but can you subscribe?

[Rykard3]

@delroth156 sure!  but no need to leave my link in your videos. It is entirely unnecessary. I appreciate it though
