Krookodile · Silver Tempest, what to know.
About the Krookodile card
Numbered 113 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Krookodile is a Rare Holo, a Stage 2 Darkness-type carrying 160 HP.
It evolves from Krokorok, so Krookodile is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Krookodile carries this Pokédex flavor text: "This Pokémon is known as the Bully of the Sands. Krookodile's mighty jaws can bite through heavy plates of iron with almost no effort at all."
What is Krookodile worth?
Krookodile is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Silver Tempest's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Silver Tempest holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Krookodile before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Krookodile comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Krookodile can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Krookodile
When you go to buy Krookodile, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Krookodile, so price the specific copy in front of you.
