Players have been able to play Pokémon Crimson & Crimson for a week. But one Pokémon already has a reputation for being far too strong.
You can play Pokémon Crimson & Crimson on the Nintendo Switch since November 18, 2022. Generation 9 also comes with a whole bunch of new pocket monsters to catch in the world of Paldea. However, a certain Pokemon type did not make it into the official game.
But one Pokémon is causing a lot of excitement right now. Because the pocket monster is supposed to make you too strong and destroy a unique challenge. MeinMMO tells you what it’s all about.

Now what’s the problem with Krokel? The fire starter Krokel makes Nuzlocke mode way too easy. For example, the user “PokemonChallenges” writes on Twitter: “It [Krokel] took over 5 arenas alone” and all players who are Nuzlocke fans should ban the starter:
The user calls the fire starter the “most cheated starter in Nuzlocke history.” That would undermine the whole challenge.
Other users also have little “luck” with the new Pokémon games. The game made it into the top 3 on Twitch in just a few days, but there seems to be a nasty trap for streamers here. A well-known streamer has now caught it:
