Krookodile Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Jolly

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Jolly ↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk

Since Krookodile is a Fast Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Jolly to boost its Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Special Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Krookodile either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Krookodile any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Krookodile has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Krookodile Moveset for the Story

Thunder Fang Pokemon Electric Type Icon 6
Iron Tail Pokemon Steel Type Icon 10
Earthquake Pokemon Ground Type Icon 10

We recommend the moves Earthquake, Crunch, Iron Tail, and Thunder Fang when using Krookodile during the main story.
