Wani-Wani, Marina's Feraligatr (Japanese: ワニワニ Wani-Wani , マリナのオーダイル Marina's Ordile) is a Pokémon owned by Marina. It was her starter Pokémon, obtained as a Totodile from Professor Elm on the same day that Vincent received his Chikorita and Jimmy received his Cyndaquil. Its English voice actor is Eric Stuart.
Unlike Jimmy's Typhlosion and Vincent's Meganium, it doesn't seem to be used as often, only appearing once as a Croconaw during The Legend of Thunder!. This, of course, could possibly be just in the one episode, however.
It has had cameos as a Croconaw in the beginning of the movie Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea and as a Feraligatr in A Stand-Up Sit-Down.

Trivia
- The nickname Wani-Wani either comes from ワニノコ Waninoko, Totodile's Japanese name, or just from the Japanese word for crocodile, 鰐 wani. Strangely, this was kept for the English dub, even though 4Kids is known for having a policy of Americanizing anime when they dub it.
- It is believed by some that Wani-Wani was actually the same Totodile seen in Don't Touch That 'Dile. Professor Elm had mentioned that he was saving the Totodile for a girl starting her Pokémon journey the next day, which would, if the theory proves correct, be Marina. However, this is highly unlikely because Professor Elm mentioned that Marina and Jimmy entered the Silver Conference a full year before Vincent in Tie One On!.
