'''Ash's Totodile''' (Japanese: '''サトシのワニノコ''' ''Satoshi's Waninoko'') was the last of the [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} [[Pokémon]] to join [[Ash Ketchum]]’s [[party]]. His Japanese voice actress is 西村ちなみ ''[[Chinami Nishimura]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

===Johto===

Totodile first appeared in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'' where both {{Ash}} and [[Misty]] were trying to {{pkmn2|caught|capture}} him. As Totodile jumped into the bushes, they both threw their {{DL|Poké Ball|Lure Ball}}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 could keep him. Ash eventually won the battle and kept Totodile.  

Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon. He is always happy and shows it 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 acts as a comic relief character, as his tendency to dance is shown in many important matches, frustrating Ash, and confusing his opponents. His [[Scary Face]] attack has also been used as a joke a couple of times, one being in a battle with [[Duplica]]'s [[Mini-Dit]], where Totodile laughed at its imitation of the move before continuing the battle.  

Totodile is also fairly romantic, as he was shown to have crushes on an {{p|Azumarill}} and a {{p|Quagsire}} in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style!]]''.  

Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in [[Johto]] and also in the [[Silver Conference]]. He wasn't used in many gym battles, but he was one of the Pokémon used by {{Ash}} during the [[Whirl Cup]].

He has defeated opponents such as a {{p|Kingdra}}, a {{p|Charizard}}, and [[Harrison's Sneasel]]. This shows him to be quite capable in battle despite his unevolved state.

Ash left Totodile at [[Professor Oak's laboratory]], along with his other Johto Pokémon, when he departed for the [[Hoenn]] region.

===Sinnoh===

Totodile appeared in [[DP182]] alongside Ash's other Pokémon.  He was found dancing in a water fountain and affectionately nibbled on Ash's head before being returned to his Lure Ball. Later, he helped to put out the fire caused by {{AP|Cyndaquil|Quilava}}, together with {{AP|Corphish}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

* Totodile is Ash's only Pokémon not to be kept inside a regular [[Poké Ball]] but rather inside a [[Lure Ball|special ball]]. Although all of [[Ash's Tauros]] were captured with [[Safari Ball]]s, they stay inside regular Poké Balls.

* He is the second Pokémon that Ash and [[Misty]] battled over. The first was {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}.

** Interestingly, Misty used the aforementioned Togepi in the battle for Totodile.

* [[Misty's Corsola]] and Ash's Totodile were both captured in Lure Balls, which they are most always shown to come out of. This would later become standard in the games with the advent of [[Generation III]].

* Totodile is the only one of Ash's Johto starters who has yet to evolve. He is also the only one of Ash's Johto Pokémon not to have evolved yet.
