Pokemon Farming Johto Starters: Totodile
May 26, 2009
The Johto Starters series concludes with the Water-type starter, Totodile.
![]()
Totodile is another Pokémon who is hard to come by in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. The Water-type starter of the Johto region, this Big Jaw Pokémon can learn a variety of interesting level-up moves and is one of the earliest starters to reach its final evolution, Feraligatr, at Level 30.
The set I’ve used for these Totodile is very powerful and holds a lot of potential for sweeping in battle. If you can get in a turn or two to boost your stats with Dragon Dance or Substitute, you’ve got some great power at your disposal.
Each Totodile has a Jolly (+Speed, -SpAtk) nature. Their moveset is as follows:
Dragon Dance: Totodile performs a mystic dance that raises both its Attack and its Speed. If your evolved Feraligatr is holding a Liechi Berry in battle, just one Dragon Dance will allow it to outrun all Pokémon that are not holding Choice Scarf.
Substitute: If your Totodile’s worried about getting hit, lay down a Substitute and let a doll take the beatings. Substituting enough also allows the effects of Torrent, Totodile’s ability, take effect, boosting any STAB Water-type moves.
Waterfall: This is Totodile’s STAB Water-type move. Using this, especially at low health, can give quite the blow to an opponent.
Flail: Using the same tactic of reducing HP via Substitute creates a deadly attack in Flail. The Attack and Speed boosts from Dragon Dance and the low HP help Totodile to use a powerful attack while benefiting from high Speed and Attack.
Rules:
Please leave your name and FC; even if we traded before I will need it again.
Only 1 Pokémon per person.
There is a 9:1 ratio of boys to girls with all starters. I have a couple girls to give away, but they will be claimed on a first come/first served basis. Unless you are one of the first people I trade with, expect to get a boy.
Please do not trade me eggs.
Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 7:00 pm(EDT/GMT -5), on May 30th
Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade). I will come to you when I’m ready.
Items (Rare Candies, Heart Scales, Shards, Nuggets, or TMs) are very appreciated but not required.
If you are new to our site, your first comment will be moderated. Don’t worry if your post doesn’t show, we will get to it in time, and you will not miss out!

Sorry for the small delay, but I’m logging on right now–let’s hope Wi-Fi’s in our favor tonight.
Also note that there are more people signed up than Friend Code slots in my Pal Pad, so I will have to periodically log out and add FCs.

Thanks for your Spout. :)
Now I have the 3 Johto starters!
Thanks to those who I’ve traded with already. To those who haven’t met with me yet, stay patient–I’ll be periodically adding Friend Codes, since there are more of you than there are FCs in my Pal Pad.
^_^
Kurt
sorry for all the posts it wouldn’t work
*test*
This is Trombones13 still, but my other messages apparently had to be approved. :/
Thanks to those who I’ve traded with so far. I now have everyone else’s FCs in my Pal Pad, so the only times I’ll be leaving are when I’m getting more Totodile.
Kurt
Whee, thank you so much, loved that little guy ^^
Thank you so much. I love her! ^.^
I still have several Totodile left, and I’ll be on for another hour or so; let me know your FC if you haven’t already and hop online! :D
