Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Croconaw is: Ground, Grass, Dragon, Fire, Flying, Poison, Bug or Steel

EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Moveset:

Croconaw is an astounding Physical Sweeper for single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Croconaw's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. However, Sheer Force negates the recoil damage from Life Orb while still increasing the damage from both it's ability and the orb making it an amazing item for Croconaw. With Sheer Force, Croconaw's attacks with secondary effects have 1.3x power; nullifies the effects. Psychic Fangs was added to provide additional threat coverage. With a Eject Pack equipped to it, if Croconaw's stat stages are lowered, it switches to a chosen ally then the Eject Pack gets consumed.
