Krookodile

The Krookodile card numbered 85/149 was released as part of the Sun & Moon base set, which debuted in early 2017 to mark the beginning of the seventh generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set introduced the Alola region and new mechanics, signaling a transition from the XY series by incorporating updated card templates and the introduction of Pokémon-GX cards. As a Darkness-type card, this specific iteration of the Intimidation Pokémon serves as a staple of the set's common-to-rare aesthetic, emphasizing the darker, more predatory visual identity associated with the species.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrators who focused on capturing the rugged, desert-dwelling nature of Krookodile. The holographic treatment serves to enhance the predatory, sleek design of the character, a common stylistic choice in the Rare Holo tier to distinguish these cards from their non-foil counterparts. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard but visually striking addition to the set, valued primarily by players looking to complete the Sun & Moon collection and by collectors drawn to the thematic design of the Ground and Dark type creatures introduced in the late Unova era.
