Flavor Text

: Its unique faculty of sight can detect small prey more than 30 miles away, even in the midst of a sandstorm.
: After clamping down with its powerful jaws, it twists its body around to rip its prey in half.
: When it spots prey, even at a distance of over 30 miles, it swims through the desert as if it were water, then jumps out and chomps them.
: It conceals itself in sandstorms that Flygon whip up and waits patiently for prey to appear.

: This Pokémon is known as the Bully of the Sands. Krookodile’s mighty jaws can bite through heavy plates of iron with almost no effort at all.
: While terribly aggressive, Krookodile also has the patience to stay hidden under sand for days, lying in wait for prey.
