Krookodile ex

Krookodile ex is a Stage 2, Double Rare Pokémon ex card from the English Chaos Rising set (card #55). As an 'ex' card, it offers higher HP and powerful attacks but awards an extra Prize card to the opponent when Knocked Out; specific stats and artwork details for this particular card are not confirmed here. Krookodile (Japanese: ワルビアル, Waruvial) is a Ground/Dark-type Intimidation Pokémon from the Unova region, the final evolution of Sandile, with a name derived from 'warui' (bad/evil) and 'crocodile/gharial.'

Krookodile is the Intimidation Pokémon and the final evolution of Sandile, a Ground/Dark-type introduced in Generation V (Unova region). Its red, mask-like markings around the eyes resemble a bandit's disguise, and its eyes can act like binoculars to spot distant prey. Highly aggressive, it ambushes targets by burying itself in desert sand for days, and its powerful jaws can crush an automobile.

The Japanese name ワルビアル (Warubiaru) combines 悪い (warui, meaning 'bad' or 'evil') with a portion likely derived from 'gavial'/'gharial' (a type of crocodilian), reflecting both its menacing demeanor and its crocodile basis. The English name 'Krookodile' is a portmanteau of 'crook' (a criminal, fitting its bandit-like appearance) and 'crocodile,' with the 'K' stylization tying it visually to its evolutionary line.
