Croagunk (Japanese: グレッグル Gureggru) is a dual-type Poison/Fighting Pokémon.
It evolves into Toxicroak starting at level 37.
Biology
Physiology
Croagunk resembles a dark blue bipedal frog, with a white band around its waist area and red and black markings on its hands and feet. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a Muay Thai fighter, and its jutting teeth make it appear to be wearing a mouthguard. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to poison opponents by stabbing them.
Gender differences
The two white stripes that run across Croagunk's abdomen will be higher up if it is a female.
Special abilities
Whenever its middle finger glows purple, it appears to be channeling its poison via its skin and onto its hand to use its Poison moves. Croagunk can have the ability Anticipation which makes the Croagunk shudder if the foe has a super effective, instant KOing move, or a move like Selfdestruct.
Behavior
Croagunk are generally mischevous and mean. A few Croagunk, however are more comfortable being alone, simply staring at the views around them.
