Krookodile – 117/198 – Reverse Holo – Scarlet & Violet Base Set

The Scarlet & Violet Base Set launched the new era of the Pokémon TCG with silver borders, updated rarity symbols, and modernized holo treatments. As the foundational set of the generation, it introduced the Paldea region and refreshed card design standards. Reverse Holo singles like Krookodile remain essential for collectors completing full Scarlet & Violet binders or building parallel foil sets.

The Reverse Holo Pokémon card type features a reflective foil pattern across the entire background of the card while leaving the artwork window non‑holo. Scarlet & Violet Reverse Holos use a shimmering foil that increases color depth and visual contrast, making each card stand out compared to its standard version. Reverse Holo cards are popular among collectors who enjoy completing full parallel sets or adding visually enhanced versions of their favorite Pokémon to their binders.

Krookodile, the powerful Ground/Dark‑type crocodile Pokémon, is known for its intimidating presence, sand‑dwelling behavior, and aggressive combat style. In Scarlet & Violet Base Set, Krookodile maintains its identity as a mid‑stage powerhouse with moves centered around pressure, disruption, and Dark‑type synergy. Its artwork highlights its fierce stance and desert‑themed environment, giving Krookodile 117/198 strong binder appeal. The Reverse Holo treatment adds shine and depth, making it a standout card for collectors who appreciate bold, high‑impact Pokémon designs.

In tournament play, Krookodile typically functions as a mid‑game attacker with moves designed to apply steady pressure or disrupt opposing setups. Its first attack often provides low‑cost chip damage or minor board control, while its second attack offers stronger damage output when energy is available. While Krookodile is not a competitive centerpiece, it is valued in formats where Dark‑type synergy, evolution lines, or tempo‑based strategies matter.

The artwork for Krookodile 117/198 is illustrated by Shin Nagasawa, whose style is known for dramatic lighting, sharp detailing, and dynamic creature poses. Nagasawa frequently emphasizes motion, grit, and atmosphere, making Ground‑ and Dark‑type Pokémon appear imposing, powerful, and visually striking. In this card, Nagasawa’s composition enhances Krookodile’s aggressive stance and desert setting, with the Reverse Holo pattern amplifying the depth, shine, and reflective highlights. Collectors who appreciate artist‑focused binder pages often seek out Nagasawa’s cards for their distinct visual identity.
