Ash's Totodile/Personality and characteristics

Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon. It is always happy and shows this by dancing, a theme that is focused on when it is released from its Lure Ball, even when being called into a battle. It also unabashedly introduced itself to first in Entei at Your Own Risk, energetically swinging Larvitar around in a circle. However, when need be, Totodile can be a powerful opponent, as seen when it managed to defeat Harrison's Sneasel, who had been causing trouble for Ash and Harrison earlier on in Pop Goes the Sneasel.

Totodile also acts as a comic relief character, as its tendency to dance is shown in many important matches, frustrating Ash, and confusing its opponents. Its most significant battle, defeating Harrison's Sneasel, depicted it biting Sneasel's hand and dancing around whilst thrashing Sneasel into the ground. Its Scary Face attack has also been used as a joke a couple of times, one being in a battle with Duplica's, where Totodile laughed at its of the move before continuing the battle.

Totodile has been shown to be spend time with Ash's Corphish as shown in An Old Family Blend! where they were found near each other on Lily of the Valley Island and in Alola, Kanto! when they were seen underwater together.
