==Biology==
==Biology==
Croconaw is a medium-sized, bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon with a blue and yellow body. Croconaw has three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on its head like a crest, one with two points on its back, and a diamond-shaped spike on its tail. Black markings surround its red eyes. Its lower jaw is yellow and pronounced, and its chest has an asymmetrical, yellow pattern resembling a spotted animal skin. Although Croconaw has been described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible with four visible when the mouth is closed. It is capable of regrowing lost fangs. Its teeth are positioned like barbed fishing hooks and are impossible to pull out with ordinary strength. Croconaw can rarely be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water}}.

Croconaw is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has well-developed, rounded jaws with two fangs visible in the corners of the lower jaw even when closed. Its eyes are red with black markings around them. There are three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on top of its head, one with two points between its shoulders, and a diamond-shaped one near the tip of its tail. While most of its body is blue, its lower jaw is yellow and there is an asymmetrical, yellow-and-blue pattern around its chest that resembles a spotted animal skin.
 
Although Croconaw is described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible. The tips of its teeth are slanted backward similar to a barbed fish hook; this makes them impossible to remove once embedded in something. Once Croconaw has bitten down onto something, it will not let go until it loses its teeth; any missing teeth will quickly grow back. Croconaw can rarely be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. During sleep, as one half of Croconaw's brain rests, the eye on the same side opens. This allows Croconaw to watch for enemy attacks while it sleeps.
 
===Evolution===
Croconaw evolves from {{p|Totodile}} and evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}}.
 
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Croconaw is the first partner Pokémon with the shortest level gap between evolutions at 12, evolving from Totodile at level 18, and into Feraligatr at level 30.
* Due to [[List of censored words (Generation V)|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s from being traded on the [[GTS]], an English-language Croconaw cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
===Origin===
===Origin===
Croconaw is based on a {{wp|crocodilian}}. Also, the head spikes and the pattern on the chest seem to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}.
Croconaw appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. In {{g|Sleep}}, Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles.
 
It also appears to have a {{wp|prehistory|prehistoric}} theme, as its head spikes and chest patterns seems to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}, while its head resembles that of a {{wp|theropoda|theropod dinosaur}}. The crest on Croconaw's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Croconaw's boisterous personality.

Croconaw (Japanese: アリゲイツ Alligates) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Totodile starting at level 18 and evolves into Feraligatr starting at level 30.

Biology

Croconaw sleeps with one eye open

Croconaw is a bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon. It has well-developed, rounded jaws with two fangs visible in the corners of the lower jaw even when closed. Its eyes are red with black markings around them. There are three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on top of its head, one with two points between its shoulders, and a diamond-shaped one near the tip of its tail. While most of its body is blue, its lower jaw is yellow and there is an asymmetrical, yellow-and-blue pattern around its chest that resembles a spotted animal skin.

Although Croconaw is described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible. The tips of its teeth are slanted backward similar to a barbed fish hook; this makes them impossible to remove once embedded in something. Once Croconaw has bitten down onto something, it will not let go until it loses its teeth; any missing teeth will quickly grow back. Croconaw can rarely be found near water. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as unihemispheric sleep. During sleep, as one half of Croconaw's brain rests, the eye on the same side opens. This allows Croconaw to watch for enemy attacks while it sleeps.

Evolution

Croconaw evolves from Totodile and evolves into Feraligatr.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Major appearances

Wani-Wani

Croconaw made its TV debut in The Legend of Thunder!, under the ownership of Marina and the nickname of Wani-Wani. She obtained it as a Totodile from Professor Elm. In A Stand-Up Sit-Down!, it was revealed to have evolved into a Feraligatr.

Khoury's Croconaw

In Bagged Then Tagged!, Khoury's Totodile evolved during a Tag Battle against Ash's Monferno and Dawn's Cyndaquil, where it was partnered with Lyra's Chikorita. Despite the evolution, they were defeated.

Other

Croconaw made its main series debut in Mother of All Battles, under the ownership of Ranger Mason, who uses it to help protect her reserve. It also battled the Pokémon Poacher Brothers when they targeted a Larvitar and its mother Tyranitar.

In The Champ Twins!, Bryan used a Croconaw in a battle against Ash and Dawn alongside his twin brother Ryan and his Quilava. The twins were initially able to defeat Ash's Turtwig and Dawn's Piplup due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

In The Pirates of Decolore!, a Croconaw abandoned by its Trainer had become the leader of a group of pirate Pokémon, which consisted of an Azumarill, Octillery, and Ducklett. After losing in a Double Battle between Ash, Snivy, and Pignite, Croconaw, and the other pirates stopped stealing and joined Officer Jenny's coast guard after apologizing to everybody they stole from.

Trivia

  • Croconaw is the first partner Pokémon with the shortest level gap between evolutions at 12, evolving from Totodile at level 18, and into Feraligatr at level 30.
  • Due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames from being traded on the GTS, an English-language Croconaw cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in Pokémon Black and White.

Origin

Croconaw appears to be based on a crocodilian. In Pokémon Sleep, Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles.

It also appears to have a prehistoric theme, as its head spikes and chest patterns seems to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by cavemen, while its head resembles that of a theropod dinosaur. The crest on Croconaw's head is similar to the mohawk hairstyle which may allude to Croconaw's boisterous personality.

Name origin

Croconaw may be a combination of crocodile and gnaw, though it may also involve maw or jaw.

Alligates may be derived from alligator.
