Croagunk dwell in damp, dark areas away from direct sunlight. They are aloof Pokémon, preferring to ignore others as much as possible and only engaging in combat when their lives are in peril. When fighting, however, they are not above using “dirty tactics” to keep themselves alive; they are known for making liberal use of “cheap shots” in battle. But when it does fight, it uses its eerie croaking voice to distract its opponent while stabbing them with its fingers.Croagunk are popular as mascot Pokémon for many teams and cities, notably including Pastoria City, Sinnoh as well as a major Galarian pharmaceutical company.
===Gender differences===
Female Croagunk have the white markings around their chest slightly higher up than on the males.

Croagunk comes from croak (a sound that frogs make and a phrase used to represent death, possibly referring to the deadly nature of poison dart frogs in real life) and gunk
Its Japanese name, Gureggru, comes from a combination of ケロケロ (kerokero, an onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking) and げろげろ (gerogero, disgusting).
