Krokorok

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon expansion, the Krokorok card (number 84) serves as a key Darkness type Stage 1 Pokémon for collectors. This print features the Reverse Holo finish, providing a shimmering aesthetic that distinguishes it from standard base set cards within the SUM set code. Illustrated by kawayoo, the card captures the essence of the Sandile evolutionary line, which appears as Pokédex number 552 in the game's lore. For players and collectors alike, this product represents a tangible piece of the Sun & Moon era's design language. With 90 HP, Krokorok offers moderate durability for its stage, requiring a retreat cost of two colorless energy. The card’s strategic value lies in its dual attack options, allowing for versatile gameplay decisions. The first move, Knock Off, deals 20 damage but requires discarding a random card from an opponent's hand, introducing an element of uncertainty and disruption. The second attack, Darkness Fang, delivers a more substantial 60 damage output at the cost of two Darkness energy. Collectors often seek out cards like this to complete their Sun & Moon sets or to appreciate the intricate illustration work by kawayoo. The Uncommon rarity ensures it is accessible while still holding a place in the hierarchy of the expansion. Whether you are building a collection of Darkness type cards or focusing on the Sun & Moon series specifically, this Krokorok card provides a solid addition to any TCG library. The Reverse Holo variant adds visual interest without altering the underlying mechanics, making it a favorite for those who appreciate both form and function in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
