Totodile is the first form of the Feraligatr evolutionary line. Despite their small size, Totodile are very powerful, especially underwater.
Physiology
Totodile look like small, bipedal blue crocodiles (similar to its evolved forms) with red spines on their back and tail, the one on their back being larger with additional ridges next to the back spines. Totodile’s head is large, with crocodilian ridges above its eyes, and much of the head’s size is composed of Totodile’s snout and strong jaws. There are two visible teeth on the tip of its upper jaw, and two rows of three teeth on each side of its lower jaw. Totodile’s mouth is often depicted open. On Totodile’s chest is a yellow, somewhat V-shaped pattern that extends to Totodile’s arms, with a line bisecting the pattern at the middle. Totodile have five sharp claws and three toes. Totodile’s eyes have red irises, and there is a dark-colored pattern around the eyes that is depicted as either dark-blue or black.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Totodile have a powerful set of jaws for a Pokémon its size. Just a playful nip can be painful, it can also bite with ice cold fangs. Like the other Template:Type2 starter Pokémon, the power of Totodile's Water-type attacks get stronger when in a pinch.
Behavior
Totodile have a habit of biting anything they see, including their trainers. It is unwise to turn one's back on a Totodile. Totodile also have a genuine playfulness about them, they are always ready for a good laugh. There is a tough side to Totodile though, as they can quickly react to difficult situations in a battle and bounce back with boosts of their water-type moves.
Ash later captured a Totodile in The Totodile Duel, after battling for it with Misty. Ash's Totodile, who had a very playful personality, remained with him throughout Ash's Johto adventures, before being left in Professor Oak's lab.
Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokémon. Its highly developed jaw is so powerful, it can crush practically anything. Trainers beware: this Pokémon loves to use its teeth.
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.
Despite the smallness of its body, Totodile's jaws are very powerful. While the Pokémon may think it is just playfully nipping, its bite has enough power to cause serious injury.
