IllusDex 0046 - 0453 グレッグル Croagunk
Croagunk’s venom has various medical applications. It originally developed in response to Croagunk’s diet of poisonous vegetation, coming full circle as an antidote. Croagunk are naturally humorous, so its visage is synonymous with absurdist and physical comedy.
IllusDex 0047 - 0454 ドクロッグ Toxicroak
Toxicroak are skilled fighters, however they can rely too heavily on tricks. There are bogs wherein tribes of Toxicroak and Grimmsnarl have obnoxious prank rivalries. Its red elastic organs house various antidotes, this was a major help before modern pharmacies.

well, it’s the poison from croagunk specifically that can be used in treating some chronic pain conditions, so you wouldn’t want to get a different pokemon for that purpose. but you also shouldn’t be keeping a croagunk for medical reasons unless you’re trained in properly diluting down their poison. it’s very easy to mess up and end up making yourself very, very sick.
croagunk-based medicine is usually available on a prescription basis, so you’d have to talk to a doctor if you want to get it from a pharmaceutical company. some natural medicine stores will also carry a croagunk-based painkiller, and i’ve read some research showing the efficacy of it. you just have to go in with the caveat that there generally aren’t as many regulations on natural medicine producers as there are on pharmaceutical companies, so i’d recommend doing some research into whatever brand you want before going that route. there’s less guarantee it’ll work, but if your migraines are debilitating, it’s worth a shot.
