Who's that Pokémon?: Krokorok (Japan) Scolipede (U.S.)
Ash and co. may have encountered several Scolipedes that are wild in the wilderness in Unova before since BW009: The Bloom Is on Axew!, and some Palpitoads before since BW034: Ash and Trip's Third Battle!. And some of the Scolipedes and Palpitoads belonged to many trainers in Unova including Ash's Palpitoad and Clay's Palpitoad excluding Seismitoad, the evolved form of Palpitoad.
This is the second time Ash mentioned about Krokorok's type is. The first was BW063: Battling the King of the Mines! but the difference is, Ash told Pikachu that its a Ground-type, and now he said to Nick that its a Ground/Dark-type.
This is the 2nd time Ash caught a pokemon that wears a sunglasses. First was the leader of the Squirtle Squad named Squirtle in IL012 Here Comes the Squirtle Squad. The difference is, there were no other Krokoroks like this one to follow that Ash's Pikachu encountered with.
Its true that Iris said that Krokorok's not one of Ash's Pokemon and happens to be a #1 rival for Pikachu but when Ash told him to come along with the group when he felt sad after he lost to Pikachu in the end, he's now one of Ash's as a new friend and catches him with his Poke Ball.
