How To Get Totodile In Pokemon Ultra Moon

So, you're playing Pokémon Ultra Moon and dreaming of adding a Totodile to your team? Awesome choice! Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokémon, is a total fan favorite. Not only is it ridiculously cute (especially in its baby form), but it evolves into the powerful Feraligatr, a Water-type powerhouse that can really help you crush those Island Challenges. The good news is, snagging one in Ultra Moon is totally doable! Let's dive in and see how you can make this happen.

The purpose of getting Totodile, of course, is to have a strong and versatile Water-type Pokémon on your team. Feraligatr learns some seriously powerful moves and can be a valuable asset against Fire, Ground, and Rock-type opponents. Plus, let's be honest, who doesn't want to show off a cool-looking Pokémon they trained from scratch? Beyond its battling capabilities, having a Totodile (and eventually Feraligatr) is just plain fun. It adds another layer of enjoyment to your Pokémon adventure.

Alright, so here’s the deal. You can't find Totodile roaming around in the wild in Ultra Moon. Bummer, right? Don’t worry! There's still a way to get your hands on one. The key is Island Scan! What exactly is an Island Scan?

The Island Scan is a feature that allows you to use your QR Scanner to scan QR codes. Each scan earns you points, and once you accumulate enough points (100 to be exact), you can trigger an Island Scan on one of the islands. This temporarily spawns a rare Pokémon in a specific location that wouldn't normally appear.

Here's the step-by-step guide to getting Totodile via Island Scan:

1. Charge Up the Island Scan: Scan QR codes using your Rotom Dex. You can find tons of these online with a quick Google search. Every scan gets you closer to 100 points.
2. Choose Your Day: Totodile appears on Akala Island but only on Sundays! Mark your calendar and plan accordingly.
3. Trigger the Island Scan: Once you have 100 points, head to Akala Island and activate the Island Scan using the Rotom Dex. The game will tell you which route the special Pokémon will appear on.
4. Find Totodile at Akala Island's Secluded Shore: In this case, Totodile appears at the Secluded Shore. Head there ASAP because you only have one hour after activating the Island Scan to find and catch it! Don't waste any time!
5. Battle and Catch! When you find Totodile, engage it in battle. Be careful not to knock it out! Lower its HP and inflict a status condition like sleep or paralysis to make it easier to catch. Use your favorite Poké Balls. Great Balls or Ultra Balls are recommended.

Important Tips and Tricks:

• Save Before Scanning: Before initiating the Island Scan on Sunday, save your game. If you accidentally knock out Totodile, you can simply reset and try again.
• Prepare Your Team: Have a Pokémon that knows moves like False Swipe (leaves the opponent with 1 HP) and status-inducing moves.
• Be Patient: Totodile only appears for an hour. If you don't find it immediately, keep searching!

And that's it! With a little patience and planning, you'll have a Totodile of your own in no time. Good luck, and happy Pokémon hunting!
