Totodile first appeared in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. Both {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} wanted to capture him, and although he was stunned briefly by {{AP|Pikachu}}, he managed to escape from their Poké Balls and knock them down with a powerful {{m|Water Gun}}. He then came across {{TRT}}, devoured their lunch himself, and sent them blasting off. Finally tracked down by Ash and Misty, he jumped into the bushes just as they both threw their {{ball|Lure}}s at him. They then found out that one of the Lure Balls had captured him. They decided to have a {{pkmn|battle}} to decide who would keep him. Ash's {{AP|Chikorita}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeated [[Misty's Staryu]] and her newly evolved {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, winning the battle and earning Ash the new Totodile. | Totodile first appeared in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''.

Totodile was shown to be fairly romantic, as he quickly fell in love with an {{p|Azumarill}} in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''. His advances were spurned repeatedly by Azumarill, and {{an|Brock}}'s decision to teach Totodile to be successful in love was no more successful. But when Azumarill and Pikachu were captured by Team Rocket, Totodile ignored Ash and Brock's orders for him to come back and single-handedly chased Team Rocket down, locating them in a log cabin. He was captured himself, but managed to cheer Azumarill up at least. When [[Trixie|Azumarill's Trainer]] arrived with Ash and his friends, Totodile blasted Team Rocket down to help rescue Azumarill, but discovered that Azumarill was in love with Trixie's {{p|Golduck}}, who had defeated {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Brock consoled Totodile that although he can't win every time, love is worth fighting for. Totodile seemed to take this advice in his stride, falling for a female {{p|Quagsire}} before the end of the episode. | Totodile was shown to be fairly romantic, as he quickly fell in love with an {{p|Azumarill}} in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', Totodile was featured in a battle with {{mov|Lisa}}'s {{p|Granbull}}, who he knocked out with a single Water Gun after dancing out of the way. He also helped Ash and his friends break into the palace. However, he was completely outclassed by {{OBP|Entei|M03}}, and was defeated in one attack. | In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', Totodile was featured in a battle with {{mov|Lisa}}'s {{p|Granbull}}, who he knocked out with a single Water Gun after dancing out of the way.

Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in [[Johto]], but he wasn't used in many Gym battles, only once in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' against [[Whitney]]. However, [[Whitney's Miltank]] proved far too powerful, and her {{m|Rollout}}, already powered up in the battle with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, knocked out Totodile in one hit. In the [[EP159|rematch]], he performed better, launching himself into the air with Water Gun and landing on top of Miltank, but he was quickly shaken off and knocked out. {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to win the battle. In ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', he was initially used against [[Janina]], who he believed to be [[Jasmine]], the Olivine City Gym Leader. Against her {{p|Onix}}, which had been coated in waterproof polish, Totodile was defeated by one {{m|Tackle}}. | Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in [[Johto]], but he wasn't used in many Gym battles, only once in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' against [[Whitney]].

As one of Ash's only {{type|Water}} Pokémon, he was the first choice for Ash's team in the [[Whirl Cup]], along with {{AP|Kingler}}. In the battle with {{jo|Christopher}} and his {{p|Kingdra}}, Totodile showed his skill by escaping a {{m|Twister}} and defeating Kingdra by using {{m|Bite}} on its snout while Kingdra used {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and the result of having too much water in its snout, it was sent off flying, and thus was defeated. In the head-to-head battle with {{an|Misty}} in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', Totodile put up a good fight against her Poliwhirl by {{m|Headbutt}}ing it into a pillar, but was knocked out by a high speed dive and {{m|DoubleSlap}}. | As one of Ash's only {{type|Water}} Pokémon, he was the first choice for Ash's team in the [[Whirl Cup]], along with {{AP|Kingler}}.

In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', he was Ash's entry in Tour de Alto Mare, and shot to the lead when assisted by {{OBP|Latias|M05}}. {{OBP|Latios|M05}}'s intervention caused Totodile to go even faster, but he was also pulled off course and Ash didn't finish the race. | In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', he was Ash's entry in Tour de Alto Mare, and shot to the lead when assisted by {{OBP|Latias|M05}}. {{OBP|Latios|M05}}'s intervention caused Totodile to go even faster, but he was also pulled off course and Ash didn't finish the race. | ||

He was used briefly in a battle park in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', where he defeated a powerful {{p|Charizard}} after learning {{m|Scary Face}}. He also fought in the private Coastline Gym in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', where it was revealed that he knew {{m|Slash}}. He put up a very good fight in the underwater arena against [[Dorian]]'s {{p|Lanturn}}, but Ash's inexperience in such battles and a type disadvantage caused him to lose. | He was used briefly in a battle park in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', where he defeated a powerful {{p|Charizard}} after learning {{m|Scary Face}}.

In ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', Totodile was sent out to battle a wild {{p|Sneasel}} that was preventing the retrieval of the Sacred Fire needed to begin the [[Silver Conference]]. However, through a combination of Slash and {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Totodile and Ash were sent flying back. Harrison later defeated and captured Sneasel. | |||

It joined {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Phanpy}} in Ash's battle against [[Macy]] in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''. He squared off against her {{p|Slugma}}, who was quickly swapped with her surprise entrant, {{p|Electabuzz}}. Later in the battle, the two matched up again, and the type disadvantage was evident - Totodile's water was blocked by {{m|Light Screen}}, and an attempt to {{m|Headbutt}} through resulted in a {{m|ThunderPunch}} knockout. | It joined {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Phanpy}} in Ash's battle against [[Macy]] in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''.

Totodile redeemed himself in a battle against {{Jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', settling the score with {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}. Totodile bit down on Sneasel's arm to prevent a {{m|Metal Claw}}, and knocked it out with his tail. His victory dance was very popular with the audience. His {{m|Scary Face}} attack had no effect against Harrison's {{p|Hypno}} and Totodile was taken control of with a {{m|Hypnosis}} attack. A {{m|Psychic}} took him out of the match. | Totodile redeemed himself in a battle against {{Jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', settling the score with {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}.

Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon. He is always happy and shows this by dancing, a theme that is focused on when he is released from his Lure Ball, even when being called into a battle. He also unabashedly introduced himself to {{AP|Larvitar}} first in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', energetically swinging Larvitar around in a circle. | Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon.
