Ash's Krokorok was
Ash's Pikachu rival.
Ash's Krokorok evolved from
Sunglasses Sandile during a battle against
Ash's Pikachu at the end of
BW20 after they had dealt with the troublesome Ducklett's.
Ash's Pikachu's
Electro Ball collided with Krokorok's
Stone Edge which created a large blast that sent Krokorok flying into the air and they were unable to finish the battle. Krokorok wanted to continue its rivalry with
Ash's Pikachu and after it recovered from the blast that sent it flying it began its search for
Ash's Pikachu. It continued to be a wild Pokémon for a significant amount of time.
When Krokorok finally met up with
Ash Ketchum and
Ash's Pikachu again while they were on route for Fukiyose City, Krokorok explained to them that it had been following them during their travels and it tried to meet up with them at Raimon City and the Electric Stone Cave but it always got there a bit too late and they had moved on. It had also watched part of the final round of the Don George tournament where
Ash's Pikachu was matched up against
Iris' Excadrill. While in the Electric Stone Cave, Krokorok found
Professor Cedric Juniper's fountain pen and tossed it away. The pen was later recovered by
Professor Juniper who found it stuck in a
Klinklang gear.
Glenn wanted to have a double battle with
Mick and
Ash's Pikachu, so Krokorok volunteered to battle on
Ash's Pikachu's team.
Glenn commanded both
Sean's Father's Scolipede and
Sean's Father's Seismitoad in a double battle against
Ash's Pikachu and
Ash's Krokorok.
Sean attempted to help out by giving
Glenn advice by specifically telling him to match up
Sean's Father's Seismitoad against
Ash's Pikachu because of the type advantage but
Glenn wouldn't take the advice. The inexperience of
Glenn and his unwillingness to accept advice proved to be the reasons that
Sean's Father's Scolipede and
Sean's Father's Seismitoad lost the battle.
Ash's Pikachu and Krokorok proved to be strong opponents and they easily won the match regardless.
Rival Battle vs Pikachu
After the double battle between
Sean's Father's Scolipede and
Sean's Father's Seismitoad was completed, Krokorok challenged
Ash's Pikachu to finish their match that they started earlier in the day but was cut short as yet another
Electro Ball/
Stone Edge blast had sent them both flying in different directions.
Ash Ketchum's strategy of aiming
Thunderbolt at Krokorok's proved to be very effective as it created a hole in the ground that Krokorok tripped into leaving it vulnerable to
Ash's Pikachu's
Iron Tail which ended up knocking out Krokorok. The first fully completed battle between
Ash's Pikachu and Krokorok had finally ended with
Ash's Pikachu winning.
Demoralized by the loss, the Sunglasses Krokorok began to leave but
Ash Ketchum invited it to join him on his journey with
Ash's Pikachu and it happily agreed and was captured by
Ash Ketchum.
In
Skyla's air battle simulation,
Skyla's Swoobat was matched up against
Ash's Krokorok and because Ground type attacks wouldn't have any effect on her Swoobat, she gave it the victory. In the actual gym battle,
Skyla's Swoobat and
Ash's Krokorok were the first match-up and
Ash's Krokorok wasn't able to hit
Skyla's Swoobat at all.
Cilan noted though that if
Stone Edge hit completely, the taste of the battle might have changed. This was the first gym battle for
Ash's Krokorok and it ended in a loss but everyone including
Ash Ketchum seemed to think it did well despite the obvious type disadvantage.
Brycen's Vanillish was the first Pokémon
Brycen sent out and
Ash Ketchum countered with his Krokorok.
Astonish was an effective way to make
Ash's Krokorok flinch, preventing it from attacking. When
Ash's Krokorok broke free, it tried to dig into the ice but halfway down
Brycen's Vanillish Blizzard froze the bottom part of
Ash's Krokorok.
Ash Ketchum knew he couldn't continue on like this and he recalled Krokorok.
After
Ash Ketchum had knocked out
Brycen's Vanillish and
Brycen's Vanillish,
Brycen's Beartic managed to knock out
Ash's Pignite which left him with just his
Ash's Krokorok who had already battled against
Brycen's Vanillish. Seeing
Brycen's Beartic made
Ash's Krokorok want to become stronger itself and
Ash's Krokorok was were waiting for this battle. It had a type advantage in the battle and together with
Ash Ketchum, they battled with all their strength.
Brycen's Beartic used
Icicle Crash as a defense against
Stone Edge.
Ash Ketchum was able to counter that though by remembering
Bianca's Emboar method that she used at the Donamite and
Ash's Krokorok picked up a stray rock and jumped into the air to meet
Brycen's Beartic for one final attack. The two of them collided in the air but
Ash's Krokorok was the one that ended up victorious by defeating
Brycen's Beartic.
Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup
Ash's Krookodile evolved from
Ash's Krokorok during a battle against
Iris in the semi-finals round of the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup.
