Croagunk finds a niche in LC as a specially-attacking Fighting-type with useful resistances to Grookey and opposing Fighting-types like Mienfoo and Timburr. However, its middling bulk and lack of recovery make Croagunk susceptible to getting chipped and render it unable to check these Pokemon multiple times, especially if it gets hit by Knock Off. Croagunk is also vulnerable to trappers such as Diglett and Trapinch. Dry Skin allows Croagunk to switch in safely on threats such as Mareanie and non-Psychic Staryu and use them as setup fodder with Nasty Plot. Vacuum Wave gives it a way to finish off weakened foes while also allowing it to avoid risking the powerful but inaccurate Focus Blast. The best partners for Croagunk include Pawniard and Ferroseed, which help deal with Psychic-types, and countertrappers such as Air Balloon Diglett and Trace Porygon.
