Totodile, in terms of number of cards it has appeared on, is actually right behind Cyndaquil and right before Chikorita: Totodile in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. (The same thing will happen in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal when the chosen starter Pokémon is Cyndaquil.) In Pokémon Adventures, Professor Elm's Totodile is stolen by Silver. Totodile is currently at Professor Oak's lab since Ash decided to make a fresh start when going to Hoenn, and therefore, left all of his Pokémon, except Pikachu with Professor Oak. It also battled Harrison's Sneasel and won, but was defeated by Harrison's Hypno. In the Johto League, it battled a Trainer's Slugma, but was defeated by an Electabuzz. Ash used his Totodile in many battles throughout Johto, including for the whirpool cup, in which it battled a Kingdra and won by biting it, clamping its jaws shut, while Kingdra was using hydro pump, causing it to back up with water and inflating its head and then inflating it's stomach to an enormous size, after he let go Kingdra went flying around like an untied water balloon, with the water rushing out of its mouth, but was later defeated by Misty's Poliwhirl. Every time it comes out of its Poké Ball, it does a little dance before entering battle. Once, it got distracted from the battle and chose instead to go for a swim. The matter was settled with a Pokémon battle, which Ash won.Īsh's Totodile is rather care-free. He and Misty threw their Lure Balls simultaneously at it, so it was unclear who had actually caught it. Eventually Ash recovered the Totodile, which had been giving its kidnappers a hard time by biting Jessie's hair.Īnother Totodile was acquired by Ash in episode #153 (The Totodile Duel). Team Rocket took advantage of Professor Elm's absentmindedness to kidnap a Totodile he kept as a starter Pokémon. Totodile's first appearance was in the first episode in the Johto story arc (#119-Don't touch that 'Dile). Totodile is also a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Its attacks are very basic and common, and include Scratch, Bite, Water Gun and Hydro Pump.


Totodile and its evolved forms have fairly good Defense, and its Attack is higher than its Special Attack. The other option of getting him is by using a cheat of some sort. He can also be found in the Waterfall Pond Dungeon.Totodile is unobtainable in Diamond and Pearl, the only way to get one is by either trading it from Pokémon XD or Pokémon Emerald. Totodile is also one of the sixteen starters in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. If Totodile is chosen, it will have Hydro Cannon, an extremely powerful Water-type attack that is otherwise exclusive to Blastoise. Whichever Pokémon they don't choose can be obtained if the same conditions are met another time. If successful, players can choose between Totodile, Chikorita and Cyndaquil. Totodile can also be found in Pokémon XD, but only after completing all 100 stages on Mt. In Pokémon Emerald, if the player completes the Hoenn region Pokédex, Professor Birch will offer as a reward a choice between Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile. In the Gameboy Advance Generation of Pokémon games Totodile first became available by breeding the Croconaw snagged in Pokémon Colosseum. Choosing Totodile is considered the easiest to beat the game with, being able to learn Ice-type moves that are super effective against Dragon Pokémon as well as other advantages. In Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, Totodile is one of three starter Pokémon offered by Professor Elm near the start of the game, the other two being Chikorita and Cyndaquil. Therefore, constant supervision is required on the part of Totodile's trainer. It may be causing serious injury while it thinks it's just playfully nipping. Totodile itself does not seem to realize its own strength. There have been rare instances in which Totodile have been found roaming the sewers of large cities. It's very energetic, cheerful and rowdy, and occasionally can be seen running through swampy areas, biting and chomping at everything that moves. It has a rough and tough attitude, and is not a Pokémon to be trifled with. Its blue colour resembles water - its type.ĭespite its small size and unevolved status, Totodile are surprisingly fast and have very powerful jaws, strong enough to cut down a tree.

Totodile has a big and prominent jaw, filled with many sharp teeth. On its back and tail are four red spikes. It has a short blue body broken by a yellow band on its chest. Totodile's appearance is based on amphibious reptiles such as the crocodile or the alligator.
