Ash's Totodile: Difference between revisions

'''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 seventeenth overall.

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

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

In ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Totodile was seen squirting [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] with a Water Gun attack, but it was fired back again. Totodile later had its revenge by squirting them again with Water Gun, this time landing a successful hit. Later, it was seen blasting Cassidy and Butch off and destroying their helicopter.

Totodile reappeared in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', where it met and danced with {{AP|Glalie}}.

Totodile appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' alongside Ash's other Pokémon where it was reunited with Ash. It was found dancing in a water fountain and affectionately nibbled on Ash's head before being recalled to its Lure Ball. Later, it 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]].

Totodile was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

Totodile briefly appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', swimming underwater at a pond near Oak's Laboratory with Corphish.

Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon. It is always happy and shows this by dancing, a theme that is focused on when it is released from its Lure Ball, even when being called into a battle. It also unabashedly introduced itself to {{AP|Larvitar}} first in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', energetically swinging Larvitar around in a circle.  However, when need be, Totodile can be a powerful opponent, as seen when it managed to defeat Harrison's Sneasel, who had been causing trouble for Ash and Harrison earlier on in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.

Totodile has been shown to be 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!]]'' when they were seen underwater together.
