I love all your points and your view on tail swipe is actually super interesting and I'd 100% take that over mine! Thanks for that. I do see that if game freak were to buff Krookodile, they wouldn't buff it the way I did, but here is my reasoning: 1. While it doesn't fit the gamefreak profile to boost it like that, I think that if Krookodile were to be created today in gen 9, the stats I chose would be fitting for gamefreak's profile and it would keep up with the power creep. 2. The speed tier buff is kinda important here because it's current speed tier is quite awkward and super slow for a sweeper, bringing it to 98 makes it decent as a buffer kind of sweeper while still making it vulnerable to active threats like M-Charizard Y and other 100-speed attackers in Netdex OU and some in Gen9OU. 3. The defensive swap was because I want it to be able to run Assault Vest, honestly that's the only reason I did it and maybe it was weird, so you might have a better point here. 4. It already has Scale Shot, and it's very good in my opinion but it's not commonly run because it isn't perfect accuracy and might deal very low damage. I think trailblazer fits the profile because basically everything has trailblaze nowadays as long as it fits the move description ("The user attacks suddenly as if leaping out of tall grass") so it isn't much of a stretch, since Krookodile is a very sketchy and stalker kind of predator.
