What it does
The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn. If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. (Benching either Pokémon ends this effect.)
It has 49 teeth in its mouth that are constantly replacing themselves. Pull one out, and a new one grows in.

Where it came from
Dark Croconaw was released as part of the Neo Destiny expansion in 2002, serving as the final English-language set of the Neo series. This set introduced the concept of Shining Pokémon and further explored the 'Dark' mechanic, which depicted Pokémon that had been corrupted or altered by Team Rocket's experiments. As a middle-evolution stage, the card represents the transition between Totodile and the powerful Feraligatr, fitting into the thematic arc of the Johto region's starter Pokémon.
The artwork for this card was provided by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and iconic illustrators in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Arita often utilized a darker, more moody aesthetic for the Neo Destiny set to reflect the sinister narrative behind the 'Dark' Pokémon variants. The illustration emphasizes a predatory stance, capturing the aggressive nature intended for this iteration of the species, and was generally well-received by collectors for its atmospheric contribution to the set's darker visual identity.
