Strategy Overview

  • Sheer Force makes Croconaw a threatening boosting sweeper
  • Being able to set up with Dragon Dance or Swords Dance allows Croconaw to beat bulky and offensive teams
  • Respectable bulk lets it set up relatively easy
  • Unfortunate speed tier leaves Croconaw needing two Dragon Dance boosts to outspeed all relevant Choice Scarf threats
