Focus Sash helps protect Totodile from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Totodile's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Torrent, at 1/3 or less of its max hp Totodile's attacking stat is 1.5x with water attacks. Ice Punch was added to provide additional threat coverage.
