Krokorok · Crown Zenith, what to know.
About the Krokorok card
Numbered 79 of 160 in Crown Zenith, released in January 2023, Krokorok is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Darkness-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Sandile, so Krokorok is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Krokorok Pokédex entry reads: "It buries some of its prey in the sand to use as emergency meals when its hunts are unsuccessful."
What is Krokorok worth?
Krokorok is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Krokorok before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Krokorok grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Krokorok
Raw copies of Krokorok are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Krokorok is the practical move.
