Free Totodile Coloring Pages: 30 printable PDF designs of the grinning blue crocodile Pokémon, from simple standing poses and cartoon versions to a funny burger-eating scene, an evolution chart with Croconaw and Feraligatr, a friendly page with Eevee, and three group pictures of the Johto starter trio alongside Chikorita and Cyndaquil. Each design downloads as a PDF for home printers, and the line art also loads in the browser for screen coloring.
Listed as entry 158 in the National Pokédex, Totodile is a pure Water-type that first appeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver, released in Japan in 1999 and in North America in 2000. It was one of three partner Pokémon offered to new trainers in the Johto region, along with the Grass-type Chikorita and the Fire-type Cyndaquil. Standing about 2 feet tall, it is famous for powerful jaws that clamp down on almost anything, which is why even its own trainer has to be careful.
In the anime, Ash’s Totodile became a fan favorite for its happy dancing and its habit of chomping on friends’ heads. Its round shape, wide smile, and spiky back give young colorists bold, easy outlines with a few fun details.
What’s Inside This Collection
Solo Totodile portraits fill the bulk of the 30 designs, and the starter trio, an evolution page, and a pair of playful friendship scenes add variety.
Classic Totodile Poses
Numbered pages show Totodile standing, waving, grinning, and getting ready to battle. Color its body Cerulean, its back spikes and tail ridges Red, and the V-shaped marking across its chest Yellow, leaving the inside of the open mouth a soft Pink.
Cartoon and Pokémon Pages
The “Cartoon Totodile” page and the “Totodile Pokémon” series use rounder, simpler lines that suit younger kids. Flat coloring with one Blue and one red works well here, since these designs have fewer folds and shadows.
Totodile Evolution
One page lines up Totodile with Croconaw and Feraligatr. Deepen the Blue at each stage, moving from Cerulean to Blue to Navy Blue, and keep the red spikes growing brighter so the family resemblance is easy to see.
Johto Starter Trio
Three pages show Totodile beside Chikorita and Cyndaquil. Give Chikorita a pale yellow-green body with a bright Green leaf, and color Cyndaquil’s back Navy Blue with a cream belly and Orange flames.
Eevee and Burger Scenes
Totodile shares a page with the fluffy Eevee and shows off its appetite in “Totodile Eating A Burger.” Use Brown and Tan for Eevee’s fur with a Cream collar, and layer Tan, Green, and Red for the bun, lettuce, and tomato.
What Totodile Coloring Pages Do
Understanding type matchups. Totodile belongs to the Water type, which beats Fire but struggles against Grass, a simple rock-paper-scissors pattern repeated across the starter trio pages. Coloring the three Johto partners side by side gives kids an easy way to remember which type wins in each matchup. Many children then start sorting their other favorite Pokémon by type on their own.
Sharpening control with spikes and teeth. Filling defined shapes with crayons builds the finger strength that children between 2 and 7 will rely on for handwriting, a payoff that the American Academy of Pediatrics repeatedly stresses. Totodile’s round body is perfect for steady, even fills, while its zigzag back spikes and tiny teeth push kids to slow down and work precisely. Moving from cartoon pages to the more detailed evolution chart creates a natural skill ladder.
A cheerful, calming routine. Back in 2005, a study published in the Art Therapy Journal connected structured coloring with easing anxious feelings. Totodile’s big smile and silly poses keep the mood light, which helps reluctant or restless kids settle into the activity. A single solo page takes about ten to fifteen minutes, which fits neatly between homework and dinner.
Talking about growth and change. The evolution page shows Totodile becoming Croconaw and then the giant Feraligatr, which opens a natural conversation about how people grow and change, too. Children can compare how the shape, size, and expression shift at each stage. Some kids enjoy drawing their own imagined fourth stage once the chart is finished.
How to Color Totodile Pages Well
- Bright water blue: Fill Totodile’s body with Cerulean, then go over its sides and lower legs with a light layer of Blue to suggest a rounded shape.
- Red spikes that pop: Color the back spikes and tail ridges in Red and add a touch of Maroon where each spike meets the body for depth.
- Chest marking: Keep the V-shaped chest pattern clean and yellow, and outline it lightly with Goldenrod so it does not blend into the Blue.
- Sharp white teeth: Leave the teeth uncolored and shade around them with Pink and a little Red inside the mouth, which makes the smile stand out.
- Shiny eyes: Color the eyes Red, then leave a small white highlight in the upper corner so Totodile looks lively instead of flat.
- Water backgrounds: Add splashes in Sky Blue and Aquamarine behind action poses, with small white circles for bubbles and droplets.

Which starter should a trainer pick: Totodile, Chikorita, or Cyndaquil?
Many players choose Totodile because Water-types handle several early Gym Leaders well, and Feraligatr becomes a strong attacker. Cyndaquil offers fast Fire-type moves, and Chikorita is a steady defensive pick, so the right choice depends on play style.
