Other appearances

Totodile was the only Gold/Silver/Crystal Starter to appear only as a random trophy, not in a Poké Ball.

Trophy information

Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that Professor Elm offered to trainers in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. They evolve into Croconaw.
