Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Drake’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
Drake is the son of Giovanni, he stole a Totodile in order to go on a journey and find his father. During his journey he went onto the S.S. Anne so the police couldn’t find him. He woke up to a loud scream as were people being attacked by zombies and escaped with a survivor named Simon into Vermillion City. He eventually gathers other survivors and ends up in Saffron City. By the end, he meets his father and it’s revealed he was actually meant to die during the S.S. Anne attack. However his father used the Pokemon Celebi to prevent his death and re-write the timeline. Depending on Drake’s morality he either sends Drake back in time to before the event happens to warn everyone, sends Drake into a hoard of zombies, or sends him onto an island viewing him as too weak to live in the zombie world.

Notable Techniques

Scratch

A physical attack used by Croc against the zombies, it causes knockback when the opponent is hit^[1].

Cut

Through Simon teaching HM01 to Croc^[1], he learned the use "Cut". Cut allows Croc to cut down small trees and deal double damage to enemies.

Water Gun

A special attack used by Croc against the zombies, it's useful for long ranged attacks but doesn't inflict knockback^[1].

Hydro Pump

Through gaining the Mystic Water, Croc learns the ability Hydro Pump^[1]. Enemies hit with Hydro Pump will be thrown back and receive double damage.

Other

Standard Tactics: Drake utilizes Croc to fight against enemies, standing behind Croc while letting Croc lead the way^[1]; if Croc at all dies/is fainted, then Drake effectively has no battle strategies left and will lose himself^[1].

Weaknesses

Drake Weaknesses: Drake effectively cannot fight against the zombies if Croc dies^[1].
Croc Weaknesses: Croc cannot use attacks one after the other^[1], Croc needs to wait for the blue "PP" bar to be full again^[1], which an in-universe thing would simply be Croc needs a quick rest before he can throw out the next attack^[1].

Explanations

The Infection

The infection is a disease that spread across Johto due to the incompetence of Team Rocket.

The infection was caused by an artifact which Team Rocket stole^[9]. Team Rocket read the text saying "The power to make everyone weak-willed and dangerous" and interpreted this as they would be able to mind control people^[9].

Team Rocket raided the Goldenrod City Radio Tower to link up the artifact to the radio tower and spread its waves across all of Johto^[9].

These effects started reviving recently deceased humans and Pokemon^[9].

It's noted by Professor Elm that every single person and Pokemon in the country is infected regardless of whether they were bitten or not, so if they die they will turn into a zombie^[9].

Trivia

For unknown reasons, despite Ethan getting his canonical name in Pokemon Dusk, the rival gets the name "Drake" instead of "Silver". While the assumption was that Drake was a default name in German, this has been disproven^[1].
Drake hates energy drinks^[1].
Drake hates coffee^[1].
Drake finds books uninteresting^[1].
