Quick Links
Thanks toPokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC, you can catch the starter Pokemon from previous generations. From the Johto region enters Totodile, the Water-type starter Pokemon ofPokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver. However, you’ll need to complete a few steps before Totodile starts spawning at Blueberry Academy/Terarium.
You’re more than likely to have a Water-type Pokemon in your party by the time you start Indigo Disk. If not, you should consider catching and evolving Totodile. As a Feraligatr, it’s not the fastest Pokemon out there, but its base Attack and Defense make it a good battler if it’s trained properly. If you don’t want to make room for the Totodile-line in your main team, then you’ll still need to catch them to unlock their Dex entries for the Blueberry Pokedex.
Where to Find Totodile in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Savanna Biome
Before Totodile can start appearing in Terarium, you’ll need tocontribute 3000 BP to the Terarium Club. This can be done byaccessing the computer in the League Club. However, you’ll want to send the required BP to theSavanna Biomeof the Terarium Club if you’re trying to get Totodile.
Once you’ve contributed 3000 BP, you can find Totodileswimming in thelakes in the Savanna Biome. There’s one lake that’s right near the borderseparating the Savanna and Coastal Biomes.
BP, Blueberry Points, can only be farmed by completing Blueberry Quests (BBQ). Since you’ll need 3000 BP, you’ll be completing a lot of sidequests while you explore Terarium. Blueberry Quests unlockafter you’ve completed your first class/before you reunite with Carmine in Terarium. You’ll unlock the League Club after you defeat Carmine in a Pokemon battle at the Central Plaza, so make sure you’ve completed “The Way Home” main quest.
How to Get Totodile without Indigo Disk DLC
How to Trade & Transfer
3000 BP is a lot of currency, and if you’re someone who’d rather put BP towards something else, then you might be better offgetting Totodile another way. Thanks toPokemon HOMEcompatibility, you can transfer Totodile from another compatible game (orPokemon GO). You can also trade with someone online to get Totodile.
Totodile can be obtained in the following games:
you’re able to find Totodile in the Grand Underground ofBrilliant Diamond/Shining Pearlafter you’ve obtained the National Dex. If you’re hunting for Totodile inPokemon GO, you’ll occasionally see Totodile in the wild. Its appearance rate may be influenced by your home country.
Totransfer, you’ll need to make sure the Totodile is in the Basic Box/storage ofPokemon HOME.
- If you’re transferring fromPokemon GO, you’ll want to select theGOicon onHOME’s main screen.
Totrade, you’ll need a Nintendo Online Membership to useScarlet/Violet’s wireless features. This will allow you to access theUnion Circle, and thus allow you toLink Trade(through thePoke Portal) with someone else.
How to Evolve Totodile and Croconaw into Feraligatr
What Level Does Totodile Evolve?
Totodile evolves into Croconaw atlevel 18. Croconaw evolves into Feraligatr when it reacheslevel 30. If you’re catching the wild Totodile in Terarium, thentheir level will be somewhere in the 50s-60s range. If that’s the case, you’ll only need to level up Totodile once to evolve it into Croconaw, then once more to evolve it into Feraligatr.
Feraligatr works better as a physical attacker since its base Attack stat is greater than its Special Attack stat. Thus, it’ll run physical moves like Liquidation better than special moves such as Surf. A recommended Nature for a Feraligatr is Adamant (+Attk, -Sp.Attk) or Jolly (+Spd, -Sp.Attk). The latter Nature is good for Feraligatr because it enhances Feraligatr’s already-mediocre Speed in exchange forlower Special Attack growth.
