Totodile

Totodile (Japanese: ワニノコ, Hepburn: Waninoko) (TOE-toe-dyle^[1]) is the Water-type First partner Pokémon of the Johto region.

Biology

Physiology

Totodile is a small Pokémon that appears as a bipedal crocodile. While most of a Totodile's body is turquoise, they have a yellow, V-shaped marking across their chest, red eyes and raspberry spikes that go down its back to its tail. These Pokémon are well known for their large mouths, filled with razor-sharp teeth.

The shiny version of this Pokémon appears as having green or turquoise skin instead of blue and has dark blue spikes, which are normally red, along its back.

Behavior

Totodile are very energetic, cheerful and rowdy, and occasionally can be seen running through swampy areas, biting and chomping at everything that moves around them. They will snap at the arms and legs of people when they lower their guards to “investigate” the foreign beings. Though they are simply “playing,” these bites can cause serious injury, sometimes even resulting in fractured bones. Even trained Totodile may occasionally crunch on and destroy possessions like watches, bags, phones, and on at least one recorded occasion, Pokédexes. Due to these potential obstacles, Totodile are often seen as the hardest, though perhaps the most rewarding, to raise Johto starters.

Natural abilities

All Totodile have the ability Torrent, which enables Water-type attacks to do 150% damage if the user's HP is below 30%.

Additionally, Totodile have very large and powerful jaws, and mainly are used when in battle. The Pokédex states that "its well-developed jaws are powerful and capable of crushing anything".

Evolution

Totodile evolves into Croconaw at level 18 and into Feraligatr starting at level 30.

Appearances

Anime

Totodile debuted in the Pokémon Anime during the episode Don't Touch That 'dile, where a Totodile belonging to Professor Elm was stolen by Team Rocket. It was later recovered and returned.

Ash captured a Totodile in the episode The Totodile Duel, where Ash and Misty battled for a Totodile that one of them caught. Not knowing whose Lure Ball captured the Pokémon, the two have a Pokémon battle to decide who keeps it. Ash won the battle against Misty, receiving the Totodile.

This Pokémon stayed with Ash during the course of his travels throughout the Johto region, and is currently being kept at Professor Oak's Lab.

Much later in the series, a Totodile made a small appearance in the episode Up Close and Personable! at the Pokémon Summer Academy. As shown in a movie poster, Totodile along with the other two Johto First partner Pokémon, appear in the 12th Pokémon movie.

Totodile also appears the episode An Egg Scramble!. It appears as Khoury's Pokémon.

Harriet also owns a Totodile in The Power of Us.

Trainers with a Totodile

• Ash Ketchum
• Khoury (formerly)
• Harriet

Manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Silver stole a Totodile from Professor Elm. It refused to return when Gold attempted to bring it back to Prof. Elm. It soon evolved into a Croconaw after defeating a trap together with Gold's Cyndaquil in the Sprout Tower.

Trivia

• Totodile is the only Water-type First partner Pokémon to have Scratch as a starting move.
• Out of all the First partner Pokémon, Totodile is the earliest to evolve into its final evolutionary form, at level 30.
• Totodile is the heaviest Water-type Basic First partner Pokémon.

Origin

Totodile is based on a baby crocodilian. The yellow marking on its chest may be based on the yellow stripes on young alligators.

Etymology

Totodile comes from the words tot (a small child) and crocodile.

Its Japanese name, Waninoko, can be read as "child of a crocodile". It could also simply be a combination of wani (crocodile/alligator) and ko (child).
