Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner ruleTotodile evolves at level 18. Nothing is lost by evolving straight away: every move Totodile learns after that, Croconaw learns too.
Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
