Ash's Totodile (Japanese: サトシのワニノコ Satoshi's Waninoko) was the last of the Johto starter Pokémon to join Ash Ketchum’s party.

History

Totodile first appeared in The Totodile Duel where both Ash and Misty were trying to capture him. As Totodile jumped into the bushes, they both threw their Lure Balls at him. They then found out that one of the Lure Balls had captured him. They decided to have a battle to decide who could keep him. Ash eventually won the battle and kept Totodile.

Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon. He is always happy and shows it by dancing, a theme that is focused on when he is released from his Lure Ball, even when being called into a battle. He also acts as a comic relief character, as his tendency to dance is shown in many important matches, frustrating Ash, and confusing his opponents. His Scary Face attack has also been used as a joke a couple of times, one being in a battle with Duplica's Mini-Dit, where Totodile laughed at its imitation of the move before continuing the battle.

Totodile is also fairly romantic, as he was shown to have crushes on an Azumarill and a Quagsire in Love, Totodile Style!.

Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in Johto and also in the Silver Conference. He wasn't used in many gym battles, but he was one of the Pokémon used by Ash during the Whirl Cup.

He has defeated opponents such as a Kingdra, a Charizard, and Harrison's Sneasel. This shows him to be quite capable in battle despite his unevolved state.

Ash left Totodile at Professor Oak's Laboratory, along with his other Johto Pokémon, when he departed for the Hoenn region.

In a special episode, he was seen squirting Cassidy and Butch with a Water Gun attack but was fired back again. He had his revenge later by squirting them with a Water Gun again and it hit. Later, it was seen blasting Cassidy and Butch off and destroying their helicopter. It also appeared in the Christmas special where it was hanging out with Ash's, Brock's and Misty's Pokémon. It managed to retrieve one present for Delibird. It was also seen creating the Snorlax Snowman.

Totodile appeared in An Old Family Blend! alongside Ash's other Pokémon. He was found dancing in a water fountain and affectionately nibbled on Ash's head before being recalled to his Lure Ball. Later, he helped to put out the fire caused by Cyndaquil, together with Corphish and Piplup. Totodile was not seen participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

Trivia

• Totodile is Ash's only Pokémon not to be kept inside a regular Poké Ball but rather inside a special ball. Although all of Ash's Tauros were captured with Safari Balls, they stay inside regular Poké Balls.
• He is the second Pokémon that Ash and Misty battled over. The first was Togepi.
