Croconaw (Japanese: アリゲイツ Alligates) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Totodile starting at level 18 and evolves into Feraligatr starting at level 30.
Biology
Croconaw is a bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon. It has well-developed, rounded jaws with two fangs visible in the corners of the lower jaw even when closed. Its eyes are red with black markings around them. There are three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on top of its head, one with two points between its shoulders, and a diamond-shaped one near the tip of its tail. While most of its body is blue, its lower jaw is yellow and there is an asymmetrical, yellow-and-blue pattern around its chest that resembles a spotted animal skin.
Although Croconaw is described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible. The tips of its teeth are slanted backward similar to a barbed fish hook; this makes them impossible to remove once embedded in something. If it loses any teeth, they will quickly grow back. Croconaw can rarely be found near water.
In the anime
Major appearances
Wani-Wani
Marina's Croconaw, nicknamed Wani-Wani, appeared in The Legend of Thunder!. She obtained it as a Totodile from Professor Elm. In A Stand-Up Sit-Down!, it was revealed to have evolved into a Feraligatr.
Khoury's Croconaw
In Bagged Then Tagged!, Khoury's Totodile evolved during a Tag Battle against Ash's Monferno and Dawn's Cyndaquil, where it was partnered with Lyra's Chikorita. Despite the evolution, they were defeated.
Other
In Mother Of All Battles, a Croconaw helps Ranger Mason protect her reserve. It also battled the Pokémon Poacher Brothers when they targeted a Larvitar and its mother Tyranitar.
In The Champ Twins!, Bryan used a Croconaw in a battle against Ash and Dawn alongside his twin brother Ryan and his Quilava. The twins were initially able to defeat Ash's Turtwig and Dawn's Piplup due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.
In The Pirates of Decolore!, a Croconaw abandoned by its Trainer had become the leader of a group of pirate Pokémon, which consisted of an Azumarill, Octillery, and Ducklett. After losing in a Double Battle between Ash, Snivy, and Pignite, Croconaw, and the other pirates stopped stealing and joined Officer Jenny's coast guard after apologizing to everybody they stole from.

Trivia
- Due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames from being traded on the GTS, an English-language Croconaw cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in Pokémon Black and White.
Origin
Croconaw appears to be based on a crocodilian. It appears to have a prehistoric theme as its head spikes and chest patterns seems to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by cavemen while its head resembles that of a theropod dinosaur.
Name origin
Croconaw may be a combination of crocodile and gnaw, though it may also involve maw or jaw.
Alligates may be derived from alligator.
