In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 300, Croagunk plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Attack at 61, while Defense (40) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Poison, Fighting combination gives Croagunk 6 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Psychic moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 7 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 140 puts Croagunk in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
