PvE Analysis

Krookodile is an interesting addition to Pokemon Go, with its unique Ground/Dark typing and coverage and decent stats. Unfortunately at this point of the game various Pokemon with superior stats and movesets already exist, leaving little room for Krookodile to squeeze into the meta. 
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Snarl + CrunchBest
Mud Slap + Earthquake Best
Snarl performs the best, but should pair with Crunch to fulfill a Dark-type role.
Mud Slap should pair with Earthquake to fulfill a Ground-type role.
Outrage and Brick Break lack STAB and have no use. 
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
Mud Slap + Crunch, Brick Break, or OutrageBest
Mud Slap is superior to Snarl on defense due to its higher base power. 
Crunch is the the most preferable on defense due to it being a 3-bar move, but it's also resisted by Fighting-type attackers.
Brick Break is 3-bar as well, but it's substantially weaker in most cases.
Outrage hits quite hard as a 2-bar move and offers neutral coverage, but doesn't benefit from STAB.
Earthquake is too slow for defense.

PvP Analysis

Snarl or Mud Slap + Crunch and Earthquake
Snarl is generally preferred for its high energy generation, while Mud Slap emphasizes strong damage output and slower energy gains. 
Crunch costs the least amount of energy, benefits from STAB, and offers Dark-type coverage. Earthquake costs the most energy, also gains STAB, and provides wide coverage as a Ground-type attack. Outrage requires 5 less energy than Earthquake, but lacks STAB and is only Super Effective vs Dragon Pokemon. 
Great League2 / 5
Krookodile sports a unique Dark/Ground typing, giving it certain advantages over other Pokemon. Unfortunately a high ATK stat limits its bulk in Great League, making Krookodile rather fragile. A unique mix of Ground and Dark typing and move coverage is rather interesting, but not particularly complimentary, especially against the most popular Pokemon in this league: Azumarill. A total of six weaknesses, many of which are common, can be a significant issue for Krookodile, making it more niche than meta. 
Ultra League2.5 / 5
Krookodile's performance in Ultra League doesn't differ much from Great League, with the same issues of poor bulk and difficult typing synergy. Most of its niche plays are against common Ghost and Psychic-types, with losses against Registeel rather disappointing. Overall not the most impressive Pokemon in this league. 
Master League3 / 5
A max CP of 3444 is respectable, but somewhat lackluster in comparison to many meta picks in Master League. Krookodile's typing shines most in this league, where its coverage threatens two of the most powerful Pokemon: Dialga and Giratina (though the former can still win when committing both shields). Groudon is still the superior pick for Ground typing mostly due to its incredible stats, while Garchomp easily handles Krookodile in both open ML and Premier Cup. It should also be noted that Krookodile gets completely walled by Togekiss and struggles hard against Water-types as well. Perhaps those six common weaknesses are a bit too much for this Pokemon?
