'''Ash's Totodile''' (Japanese: '''サトシのワニノコ''' ''Satoshi's Waninoko'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Johto]] [[region]], and his eighteenth overall.


'''Ash's Totodile''' (Japanese: '''サトシのワニノコ''' ''Satoshi's Waninoko'') was the last of the [[Johto]] [[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]].
==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:EP151.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash and Misty fighting over who gets to keep Totodile]]
Totodile first appeared in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. Both {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} wanted to catch him, and although Totodile was stunned briefly by {{AP|Pikachu}}, he managed to escape from their [[Poké Ball]]s and knock them down with a powerful Water Gun attack. Totodile then came across {{TRT}}, devoured their lunch, and sent them blasting off. Finally tracked down by Ash and Misty, Totodile jumped into the bushes just as they threw their [[Lure Ball]]s at him. They then found out that one of the Lure Balls had caught him. As both of them wanted Totodile for themselves, {{an|Brock}} declared a {{pkmn|battle}} to decide who would keep him. [[Ash's Chikorita]] and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeated [[Misty's Staryu]] and her newly-evolved {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, respectively, winning the battle and earning Ash the new Totodile.
[[File:EP153.png|thumb|220px|Totodile in love]]
Totodile was shown to be fairly romantic, as he quickly fell in love with an {{p|Azumarill}} in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''. Totodile's advances were spurned repeatedly by Azumarill, and 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. Totodile got captured himself but managed to cheer Azumarill up at least. When Azumarill's Trainer, [[Trixie]], 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 love is worth fighting for even though he can't win every time. Totodile seemed to take this advice in stride, falling for a {{p|Quagsire}} before the end of the episode.


==History==
Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in [[Johto]], but he was only used once in a Gym battle in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]''. He went up against [[Whitney's Miltank]], which proved to be far too powerful, and her {{m|Rollout}} attack, already powered up in the battle with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, knocked out Totodile in one hit. In the [[EP159|rematch]], Totodile 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.
Totodile first appeared in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'' where both {{Ash}} and [[Misty]] were trying to capture him. As Totodile jumped into the bushes, they both threw their [[Poké Ball|Lure Balls]] at him. They then found out that one of the Lure Balls had captured him. They decided to have a {{g|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. 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!]]''.  
In ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', he was initially used against [[Janina]], whom Ash 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}}.
[[File:Ash Totodile battling in vain.png|thumb|left|220px|Totodile battling in vain against Miltank]]
As one of Ash's only {{type|Water}} Pokémon, Totodile was the first choice for Ash's team in the [[Whirl Cup]], along with {{AP|Kingler}}. In the battle with {{OBP|Christopher|EP216}} and his {{p|Kingdra}} in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'', Totodile showed his skills by escaping a {{m|Twister}} and defeating Kingdra by using Bite on its snout while Kingdra used {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and the result of having too much water in its body sent it 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 Headbutting it into a pillar, but was knocked out by a high-speed dive and {{m|Double Slap}}.


Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in [[Johto]] and also in the [[Silver Conference]]. He currently resides at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab.
Totodile was used briefly in the {{jo|Battle Park}} in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', where he defeated a powerful {{p|Charizard}} used by [[Jessie]] after using Scary Face for the first time. He also fought in the unofficial Coastline Gym in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', where he was revealed to know Slash. Totodile 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.


==Moves used==
In ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', Totodile was sent out to battle a wild {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}} that was preventing the retrieval of the {{m|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.
*{{m|Water Gun}}
[[File:Totodile Dance.png|thumb|220px|Totodile dancing in excitement after defeating Sneasel]]
*{{m|Scary Face}}
Totodile 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}}. Ash responded to this by [[recall]]ing Totodile in favor of Phanpy. Later in the battle, Totodile faced Electabuzz again, and the type disadvantage was evident - Totodile's water was blocked by {{m|Light Screen}}, and an attempt to Headbutt through resulted in a {{m|Thunder Punch}} knockout.

*{{m|Skull Bash}}
*{{m|Headbutt}}
*{{m|Slash}}


[[Image:Harrison's Sneasel.PNG|right|thumb|Ash's Totodile using '''Bite''' on {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Sneasel}}]]
Totodile redeemed himself in a battle against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', settling the score with Sneasel. Totodile bit down on Sneasel's arm to prevent a {{m|Metal Claw}} attack, and knocked it out with his tail. His victory dance was very well received by the audience. Totodile's Scary Face attack had no effect against Harrison's {{p|Hypno}}, and he was taken control of with a {{m|Hypnosis}} attack, before being defeated by {{m|Psychic}}.
 
Ash left Totodile at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], along with his other Johto Pokémon, when he departed for the [[Hoenn]] region.
 
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Totodile was seen squirting [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] with a Water Gun attack, but he was fired back again. Totodile later had his revenge by squirting them again with Water Gun, this time landing a successful hit. Later, he was seen blasting Cassidy and Butch off and destroying their helicopter.
 
In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', a string of events caused by {{AP|Kingler}} caused Totodile to land next to {{AP|Snorlax}}, which eventually led to the {{AP|Tauros}} stampeding through Professor Oak's lab. This allowed a group of [[first partner Pokémon]] to escape.
 
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Totodile met and danced with {{AP|Glalie}}.
 
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Totodile reunited with Ash. He was found dancing in a water fountain and affectionately nibbled on Ash's head before being recalled to his Lure Ball. Later, he helped to put out the fire caused by Cyndaquil, together with {{AP|Corphish}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Totodile was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].
 
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Totodile was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.
 
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
 
Totodile briefly appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', swimming underwater at a pond near Oak's Laboratory with Corphish.
 
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash Pokémon celebration.png|250px|thumb|Totodile celebrating Ash's win against Leon]]
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Totodile reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]].
 
Totodile, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he was seen relaxing with {{AP|Snorlax}} and {{AP|Krookodile}} and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.
 
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Totodile watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Totodile appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Totodile joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.
 
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Totodile, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.
 
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Totodile was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, he reunited with {{an|Misty}} and later watched as she and Ash battled over a wild {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}}. Totodile and Pikachu were also seen greeting {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} when Misty chose it for battle.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash and Totodile.png|thumb|250px|left|Totodile and Ash]]
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. However, when times call for it, Totodile can be a powerful opponent, as seen when he managed to defeat [[Harrison's Sneasel]], who had been causing trouble for Ash and Harrison earlier on in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.
[[File:Ash Krookodile Snorlax and Totodile.png|thumb|250px|Totodile with Krookodile and Snorlax]]
Totodile 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 most significant battle, defeating Harrison's Sneasel, depicted him biting Sneasel's hand and dancing around whilst thrashing Sneasel into the ground. His Scary Face attack has also been used as a joke a couple of times, one being in a battle with [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto}}, Mini-Dit, where Totodile laughed at its {{m|Transform|imitation}} of the move before continuing the battle.
 
Totodile likes to spend time with [[Ash's Corphish]], as shown in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where they were found near each other on [[Lily of the Valley Island]], and in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where they were seen underwater together.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Totodile is Ash's only Pokémon not to be kept inside a regular [[Poké Ball]] but rather inside a special ball. Although all of [[Ash's Tauros]] were captured with [[Safari Ball]]s, they stay inside regular Poké Balls.
* Totodile is {{Ash}}'s only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} contained in an [[Apricorn]] [[Poké Ball]]. He is also his first Pokémon to be permanently kept inside a Poké Ball variant.
*It is the second Pokémon that Ash and [[Misty]] battled over. The first was {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
** Totodile is also the only Pokémon that Ash currently owns that is kept in a Poké Ball variant.
*Totodle also has some vocabulary, as it was seen saying "I'm Sorry" to Ash after losing the [[Alto Mare]] canal race in [[Pokémon Heroes]].
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' is the only completed [[series]] where Ash is a protagonist in which Totodile has not appeared in any capacity.
*It's worth noting that, while Ash is training Totodile as if it was it's pokémon, the Lure ball that captured it was actually Misty's Lure ball, from the way that the Lure ball animation was shown, thus, in essence, actually making it Misty's Totodile (since a Pokémon is officially owned by the person who caught the Pokémon with their own Pokéball.)
