UU [UU] Choice Scarf Krookodile

Krookodile @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge / Superpower

Choice Scarf Krookodile is one of the most reliable Pursuit trappers and revenge killers in UU. Its typing and boosted Speed allow it to deeply trouble prominent threats such as Latias, Starmie, Chandelure, and Gengar, relegating them to at most one KO in a match before being trapped. This combined with Intimidate, its ability to revenge kill foes like Cobalion and Mega Manectric, and a potentially crucial Electric immunity make it a great fit on offensive teams seeking adequate role compression. If running Stone Edge, it can lure in and nail potentially troubling threats like Mega Aerodactyl and Moltres, while with Superpower, it can power through one of its most used offensive checks in Hydreigon. Revenge killing opposing sweepers while supporting its team's own, Krookodile usually only tends to run into the problems of an occasionally middling damage output and a slightly exploitable typing. Regardless, this predator hunts its prey down extremely effectively and is definitely an option to consider for bringing multiple useful qualities to your team.

Add Choice Scarf at the start of the paragraph so we know that it being a reliable Pursuit trapper and such is specifically for this set, esp when it's never mentioned afterwards. Possibly the most important Stone Edge target tbh is Mega Aerodactyl, so if you want to save characters, that's the example I'd use. There should be some mention of it revenge killing things outside of those weak to Pursuit. For example, Choice Scarf Earthquake allows Krookodile to revenge kill Cobalion and Mega Manectric where necessary. To make enough room, you could mention it before this line "Its powerful STAB Knock Off, Intimidate, and a potentially crucial Electric-type immunity accumulate very nicely as well, allowing it to fit comfortably on most offensive builds that seek adequate role compression." and change the line to "This combined Intimidate and a potentially crucial Electric immunity allows it to <...>". No need to mention STAB Knock Off specifically imo, even though it's great. Good job otherwise, though.
