Totodile, the beloved Water-type Pokemon, is finally in Pokopia.

The 2.0.0 update and Bubbly Basin came out on August 5, introducing players to a new underwater town and a whole new roster of Pokemon. One of those Pokemon is Totodile, who fans have been asking to be included in the game since the initial launch.

Here's how to find Totodile and how to find a new skin on the way!

How to Find Totodile in Pokemon Pokopia

You encounter Totodile naturally as you progress through the Bubbly Basin quest. You can either find the Pokemon yourself or ask Popplio.

If you take the Popplio route, you will have to ask about their underwater buddy "with the big mouth." Popplio will reveal that they are past the big, broken bridge in Bubbly Basin. The bridge must be repaired to reach Totodile. If you find a Pokemon that says they want to play, then that's them

Once you interact with Totodile, they'll ask you to play with them. The first game is a Bite Battle - whoever bites the other the hardest wins. After, you'll play a game of "Look That Way."

Then he'll lead you to a playground to play the next game, which is hide-and-seek. Once you're done playing, Totodile will take you to a fan he found earlier. He tries to bite it, but stops when told they need electricity. This triggers a task that lets you find another Pokemon!
