CARDEX BACKGROUND
Croconaw closes its jaws on a target and almost never lets go. Its fangs curve like fishhooks and stay deeply embedded; it may even break them without releasing its grip. Others then grow back, keeping its mouth a formidable weapon. The Pokédex notes that it always has forty-eight teeth. This ability to replace them explains why a lost tooth does not interrupt its hunting method for long.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.Pokémon X counts forty-eight teeth in Croconaw's mouth and says a lost fang grows back. Pokémon Omega Ruby compares their shape to fishhooks. Its bite therefore owes its effectiveness to the teeth's shape as much as their renewal.
Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.
Once it bites down, it won't let go until it loses its fangs. New fangs quickly grow into place.Poke-POWER
