Croconaw is a Water-type Pokémon from the Johto region, noted for its sturdier, reptilian body and distinctive blue markings. Its strong jaws and combative stance show the growth from Totodile’s playful beginnings into a more battle-ready form.
Introduced in Generation II, Croconaw uses its bite and physical strength to hold its own against tough opponents. Its confident attitude and rugged appearance make it a memorable middle stage in Totodile’s evolutionary line.
Croconaw is a Water-type Pokémon recognized for its stronger build and combat-ready stance. It evolves from Totodile starting at level 18 and grows into Feraligatr at level 30.
These evolutions occur naturally through leveling, requiring no stones or special conditions. Croconaw’s place in the line represents the shift from playful youth to a tougher, more serious stage before its final, imposing form.
