[SET COMMENTS]
Krokorok is a rare breed of Stealth Rock setter, as it does not possess the bulk of Gigalith and Carbink, nor is it a dedicated lead like Dwebble. Instead, it boasts respectable Speed and Attack stats that let it make great use of its potent STAB combination; Earthquake threatens Knock Off absorbers like Swalot and Trubbish, while Knock Off cripples common switch-ins like Servine, Vibrava, and Quilladin. Taunt prevents Defog attempts from Dustox and Vibrava, as well as shutting down opposing entry hazard setters such as Whirlipede and Hippopotas. Pursuit can also be used in the last slot to trap Psychic-types like Duosion and Bronzor, which want to avoid Knock Off at all costs. Intimidate is generally preferred, as it allows Krokorok to avoid being OHKOed by Lairon's Superpower and serve as a more reliable Pikachu answer, although Moxie can further increase the gains from a successful Pursuit.

Krokorok works well on offensive and balanced teams that value its utility; common wallbreakers on these archetypes such as Simisage, Pignite, and Swalot are great beneficiaries of Krokorok's ability to remove Steel-, Poison-, and Psychic-types. In return, they cover its weaknesses against the likes of Politoed, Quilladin, and Wigglytuff, respectively. Similarly, setup sweepers appreciate Krokorok's support, with Klang and Sawsbuck faring best against most of Krokorok's weaknesses. While Krokorok is a Ground-type, it cannot switch into Electabuzz safely, as it is OHKOed by Focus Blast and takes heavy damage from Hidden Power Ice. Having more reliable Electabuzz switch-ins is therefore important,so Duosion, Servine, and Whiscash make for some good teammates. Spikers like Quilladin, Trubbish, and Frogadier form entry hazard-stacking cores with Krokorok, making great use of its Taunt. Additionally, Krokorok dissuades Poison-types from switching in, allowing poison from Toxic Spikes to be spread more effectively.

Krokorok is a rare breed of Stealth Rock setter in ORAS ZU, as it does not possess the bulk of Gigalith and Carbink, nor is it a dedicated lead like Dwebble. Instead, it boasts respectable Speed and Attack stats that make great use of its potent STAB combination; Earthquake threatens Knock Off absorbers like Swalot and Trubbish, while Knock Off cripples common switch-ins like Servine, Vibrava, and Quilladin. Taunt prevents Defog attempts from Dustox and Vibrava, as well as shutting down opposing entry hazard setters such as Whirlipede and Hippopotas. Pursuit can also be used in the last slot to trap Psychic-types like Duosion and Bronzor, which want to avoid Knock Off at all costs. Intimidate is generally preferred as it allows Krokorok to avoid being OHKOed by Lairon's Superpower and serve as a more reliable Pikachu answer, although Moxie can further increase the gains from a successful Pursuit.

Krokorok works well on offensive and balance teams that value its utility; common wallbreakers on these archetypes such Simisage, Pignite, and Swalot are great beneficiaries of Krokorok's ability to remove Steel-, Poison- and Psychic-types. In return they cover its weaknesses to Water-, Grass-, and Fairy-types respectively (i would try to list some mons instead of general types, at least for this section right here because there are some exceptions to these like pignite doesn't handle pluff well, not all swalots do well into offensive carbink with ep. the steel, poison, psychic part is fine because krok is generally good into all mons of this type). Similarly, setup sweepers also appreciate Krokorok's support, with Klang and Sawsbuck being some of the examples that fair best into most of Krokorok's weaknesses. While Krokorok is a Ground-type, it cannot switch into Electabuzz safely as it is OHKOed by Focus Blast. Having more reliable Electabuzz switch-ins is therefore important so Duosion, Servine, and Whiscash make for some good teammates. Spikers like Quilladin, Trubbish, and Frogadier form hazard stack cores with Krokorok, making great use of Krokorok's Taunt. Additionally, Krokorok dissuades Poison-types from switching in, allowing for the Toxic Spikes poison to be spread more effectively. (mention teammates that benefit from kroks ability to stop entry hazard setters like you mention in the first paragraph)

Pokemon that are vulnerable to Stealth Rock such as Jumpluff, Magmar, and Vanilluxe best make use of Krokorok's Taunt shutting down opposing entry hazard support. I'd recommend removing, nicely written but this feels redundant with the wallbreakers section
