[edit] Appearance
Totodile are a small Pokémon that appear as a bipedal alligator. While most of a Totodile's body is blue, they have a yellow, v-shaped marking across their chest, and red spikes that go down its back to its tail. These Pokémon also have very large mouths, something that they are known for, 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 were previously red, along its back.
[edit] Special 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".
[edit] In 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.
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 Starter Pokémon, will appear in the 12th Pokémon movie.
[edit] Ash's Totodile
Ash received a Totodile in the episode The Totodile Duel, where both Ash and Misty battle 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 later wins the battle 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.
[edit] In Game
Totodile first appeared in the Generation II games Pokémon Gold and Silver, being the Water-type starter Pokémon for the games. Upon completing the Hoenn Pokédex in Pokémon Emerald, Professor Birch will offer you one of the Johto starters, which includes a Totodile.
