Totodile (Japanese: ワニノコ Waninoko) is a Water-type Pokémon. Along with Chikorita and Cyndaquil, it is one of the three starter Pokémon available at the beginning of the Generation II games. It is also available in Pokémon Emerald as an award for catching the first 200 Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex.

Totodile comes with the ability Torrent, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Totodile evolves into Croconaw starting at Level 18, then into Feraligatr starting at Level 30.

Biology

Totodile is the first form of the Feraligatr evolutionary line. Despite their small size, Totodile are very powerful, especially underwater. Immediately upon hatching, the mother will take her newborn brood down to the water to swim and hunt. Despite their strength, young Totodile stay close to their mother for quite some time.

Totodile look like small blue alligators with red spines. They are bipedal and have sharp claws. Their large jaws are very strong and filled with sharp teeth.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Totodile have a powerful set of jaws for a Pokémon its size. Just a playful nip can be painful. Like the other Water-typed Starter Pokémon, the power of Totodile's Water-type attacks get stronger when it is in a pinch.

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.
