Under Brock's ownership, Croagunk takes the place of Misty and Max, pulling Brock away from pretty girls (similar style of Barbie dolls), though more harshly then before. Instead of pulling Brock's ear, Croagunk will use Poison Jab on Brock and then pull him away, seemingly enjoying it, as he laughs during the process.

Origins
Croagunk's English name comes from a combination of the words "croak" and "gunk". Its Japanese name, グレッグル Gureggru, comes from a combination of "ケロケロ kerokero", an onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking, and "げろげろ gerogero", a Japanese word meaning disgusting.
Trivia

- On February 13th, 2007, Croagunk, along with other Pokémon images, were released revealing their names. Though because of the low quality image Croagunk's name was believed to be "Croalurk".
