Wani-Wani (Japanese: ワニワニ Wani-Wani) is Marina's Feraligatr. 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.
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 is voiced by Eric Stuart
It has had cameos as a Croconaw in the beginning of the 9th movie, and as a Feraligatr in DP041.

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.
