Known as the Big Jaw Pokémon, it's one of the three starter Pokémon offered to new trainers in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, as well as their remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Its diet primarily consists of smaller aquatic Pokémon, which it ambushes with surprising agility despite its small size. It evolves into Croconaw at level 18 and then into the formidable Feraligatr at level 30. In the anime, Ash's Totodile was a memorable character, renowned for its dancing and cheerful attitude, adding to its widespread appeal. Its type matchups make it strong against Fire, Ground, and Rock types, while being weak to Grass and Electric types.

Its cultural significance extends beyond the games, appearing in various merchandise, spin-off games, and remaining a popular choice for fans.
