Krokorok (#552) is a Ground/Dark-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,622 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Krokorok has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Krokorok in 2026.
Krokorok's Attack stat is 155 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Krokorok may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 90 Defense (Below Average) and 155 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 400. Trainers should be mindful of Krokorok's limited bulk. Compared to other Ground-type Pokémon, Krokorok's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Krokorok depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Bite (Fast) with Earthquake (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Krokorok has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Krokorok can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Ground/Dark typing provides useful matchups against Electric, Psychic, Poison-type threats while being weak to Water, Grass, Ice types.
In Master League, Krokorok faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Krokorok's effectiveness depends on its typing and 155 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Krokorok use Water, Grass-type moves.
Krokorok can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Sunny/Clear weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Krokorok is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
