Basics
Totodile is a Water-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 646 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 808 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,279 at level 50. It is weak to Electric/Grass attacks (1.6×). It resists Fire/Water/Ice/Steel attacks. In raids, Water Gun + Water Pulse is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Croconaw with 25 Candy. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.

Despite the smallness of its body, Totodile's jaws are very powerful. While the Pokémon may think it is just playfully nipping, its bite has enough power to cause serious injury.
