Tag: Krokorok

Some time ago, my Zoroark recieved an almost fatal blow against a wild Pokemon, and hes still recovering. The nurses warn me that he wont be able to recover fully and he wont be able to battle again. Im a bit worried because the rest of my team have been looking forward to having him back, and I’m in a panic about how to break the news that my poor Zoroarck wont be able to join in our battles, even if he still will be around. How do i break the news? His team mates are a Krokorok and a Lucario.

The important thing is to make sure your zoroark understands that his worth both as a living being and as your partner are not determined by the battlefield. If you can reassure him that the way you see him hasn’t changed, despite the fact that he can no longer perform what had been one of his main duties on your team, life during and after recovery will be a lot easier for him. My advice would be to find something he can do that will keep him close to you as often as possible. Don’t keep him from watching battles if he wants to do that; rather, simply keep him from joining. Preventing him from watching will make him feel excluded from your life, especially if you battle frequently. Perhaps even allow him to mentor your krokorok and lucario if his condition allows him to use his abilities outside of the high-energy environment of the battlefield.

As for breaking the news to both him and the rest of your team, break it to your team first. Tell them that their teammate will need all their support but that just because he can’t battle doesn’t mean he should be treated as if he can’t do anything. Make sure they understand that he needs them to include him in as many of their activities as he can physically handle, and let them know that most likely, your zoroark won’t appreciate being treated gently. Do this in a confident but gentle tone, and speak clearly. Although the news may be devastating to them at worst (or perhaps disappointing at best), getting them to understand your zoroark’s condition as quickly as possible will help you to break the news to your zoroark.

Once you’re ready for Zoroark, inform him gently. Have his team in the room with you for support, and let him know that you and the others will work hard to help him through recovery.

Best of luck, anonymous.

Hey, Bill. Have you ever come in contact with the Krookodile line?

Yes indeed! I take it this is meant to be a request? If so:

Sandile
The Desert Croc Pokémon
Type: Ground/Dark
Official Registration #: 551
Entry: Sandile are a crocodile-like pokémon with two notable adaptations for life in the desert: skin the color of sand and the unique habit of traveling across the dunes with most of their bodies buried. Because of both adaptations, sandile are extremely difficult to spot as they move across the Unova desert, but despite this, they are also timid, easily panicked pokémon that have a tendency to snap at whatever unwittingly walks too close for comfort with their sharp jaws, regardless of whether or not that threat can actually see them. Thus, the writer has only one piece of advice for anyone who intends on traveling through the Unova desert: wear boots.

Krokorok
The Desert Croc Pokémon
Type: Ground/Dark
Official Registration #: 552
Entry: The evolved form of sandile, by battle experience. Krokorok are very similar to their evolutionary predecessor, save for three key differences: size, the tendency to travel in packs of three or more, and the fact that they will snap at hapless travelers not out of self-defense but instead because they enjoy toying with anyone who has the audacity of traveling through their territory. Thus, should you wish to travel through the deeper parts of the Unova desert where krokorok tend to nest, the writer has additional words of advice for you: wear heavier boots and bring a water-type.

Krookodile
The Intimidation Pokémon
Type: Ground/Dark
Official Registration #: 553
Entry: The evolved form of krokorok, by battle experience. Despite the fact that its predecessors call the Unova desert home, Krookodile are not native to that region but instead Australia, where the harsh environs have forced the local krokorok to evolve into larger, more aggressive forms with jaws capable of smashing through cars. This does not seem to faze the Australians, who seem to have made it a sport to find and wrestle wild krookodile to the ground. In light of this, the writer has only one last word of advice for his readers: don’t go to Australia.
