Croconaw (Japanese: アリゲイツ Alligates) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen

If it loses a fang, a new one grows back in its place. There are always 48 fangs lining its mouth.

Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed

It opens its huge jaws wide when attacking. If it loses any fangs while biting, they grow back in.

Pokémon Crystal

The tips of its fangs are slanted backward. Once those fangs clamp down, the prey has no hope of escape.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Once CROCONAW has clamped its jaws on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like barbed fishhooks, they become impossible to remove when they have sunk in.

Pokémon Emerald

Once its jaws clamp down on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like fishhooks, they become irremovably embedded.

Name origin

Croconaw's name is a combination of crocodile and gnaw, whereas its Japanese name is based on alligator.

This species of Pokémon is based on crocodylians.
