Is Krokorok 61 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

What does being a Fighting card do for Krokorok 61?

What knocks out Krokorok 61 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Of the 1,108 cards in the archive that can remove Krokorok 61 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 45. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Krokorok as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Krokorok 61 is one print of Krokorok. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Krokorok has been printed 15 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.

What has to be in play before Krokorok 61 can be?

Krokorok evolves from Sandile, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Sandile11 prints on record · Black and White

+30 HP · +20 damage

Krokorok14 prints on record · Dark Explorers

+70 HP · +110 damage

Krookodile12 prints on record · Dragons Exalted

Sandile → Krokorok → Krookodile

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Sandile.
It is not the end of the line either — Krookodile evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.

1SandileHardest attack printed at this stage: 50 damage70 HP
2KrokorokHardest attack printed at this stage: 70 damage. Evolving here adds 30 HP over the stage before it100 HP
3KrookodileHardest attack printed at this stage: 180 damage. Evolving here adds 70 HP over the stage before it170 HP

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (170 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Krokorok print, and can the older ones still be played?

15 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (100 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

5 of the 15 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

What can you use instead of Krokorok 61?

Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

Krokorok 61 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Crunch, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 13 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Sandile has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 7,584 of 17,290

Fighting cardsNo. 896 of 1,884

Stage 1 cardsNo. 2,430 of 5,102

Emerging PowersNo. 25 of 91

What actually removes it

A Water attack printed at 45 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 90 HP.
1,116 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,595 cards in one attack.

Krokorok 61 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Krokorok 61?

Krokorok 61 has 90 HP and a Water weakness at ×2, so a Water attack printed at 45 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 90.

What is the strongest attack on Krokorok 61?

Crunch, printed at 40 damage for 3 Energy — 13 damage per Energy card. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Krokorok 61?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Krokorok print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 15 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Krokorok evolve from?

Sandile. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Krokorok 61 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Krokorok 61 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
