Stadium 2	If it loses a fang, a new one grows back in its place. There are always 48 fangs lining its mouth.

Generation III

Ruby	Once Croconaw has clamped its jaws on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like barbed fishhooks, they become impossible to remove when they have sunk in.
Sapphire	Once Croconaw has clamped its jaws on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like barbed fishhooks, they become impossible to remove when they have sunk in.
Emerald	Once its jaws clamp down on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like fishhooks, they become irremovably embedded.
FireRed	It opens its huge jaws wide when attacking. If it loses any fangs while Template:M2, they grow back in.
LeafGreen	If it loses a fang, a new one grows back in its place. There are always 48 fangs lining its mouth.
