5th Gen Excadrill vs Krookodile

[Symbol]

Who do you like better/picked for your team and why?

Excadrill or Krookodile

 

[PlatinumDude]

I like Excadrill. A lot. Cool design, good moves (though not a lot), Salamence-level Attack. I didn't use it in my current Black playthrough because of Drilbur's rarity and had to settle on Sandile/Krokorok.

I prefer Krookodile, good horrible stats, awesome design-wise and its Moxie ability is great. Though, Excadrill's got an awesome Attack stat, the only thing that out beats Krookodile in my opinion.

 

[The_Noob]

Krookodile, the only Pokemon that can boast: 'My nose is a penis', and still destroy.

Oh, and it's not extremely rare, like Mr. Excadrill and Drillbur. Seriously, Cryogonal and Deino are easier to find!

Noob out.

I just synchronized myself a Jolly ol' Drilbur and now it's a powerhouse Excadrill. It's way overpowered but I love it.

i prefer krookodile cooler looking and it can help you against electric gym and its less rare and you get earlier

 

[Dark Piplup]

Both are awesome IMO. Though I always loved crocs since I was a little kid. So I have to say Krookodile. Really its no contest though I still do like Excadrill.

 

[Kirbychu]

Excadrill. Krookodile's snout is just awkward...

 

[The Nightmare]

I think Krookodile because It can smash Excadrill in one hit with earthquake and excadrill is a steel type is well and it has no effect on a dark type like krookodile (I also have a krookodile Lv80) and with excadrill it can learn a ko move that can instanly faint a pokemon but can also miss alot.

 

[Azumi]

Kind of a coincedence that I have both Pokemon, albeit in different versions (Krookodile in JP White and Excadrill in US White).

Excadrill > Krookodile because drills > shades in my opinion. CB Excadrill has a cool moveset and attack stat to match.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I would've moved this to Pokemon General due to the fact that vs threads belong there, but it seems there's already an active vs thread covering Excadrill (which is a much closer comparison than yours). If you want, you can ask the Pokemon General moderator, Miss Doronjo if you can make another thread which draws a comparison for Excadrill. If not and you'd like general advice for which Pokemon is better to use in your team at a certain point, you can ask in quick questions. And if you're wondering about whether they are people's favourites or not you can check the likes/dislikes thread.
