Diveodile in Prodigy: where to catch it

Diveodile is a legendary Water Epic pet that rides a whirlpool and wears a gold Warden pendant, and here is the honest answer first: you cannot catch it now. Diveodile used to be obtained by opening an Epic Egg or buying the toy while it was available, and it is currently unobtainable. This guide explains where Diveodile came from, what it can do, and which water pets to use instead while you wait for it to return.

What Diveodile is

Diveodile is a Water Element Epic pet in Prodigy Math Game, and it is one of the original Epics: a dark navy blue scaled crocodile, or possibly a basilisk, with a light-blue carapace frill, light orange fins on its tail, head and limbs, orange feet and hands, and a gold Warden pendant around its neck. It rides on a small blue water whirlpool that it makes with its tail when it follows its wizard, and it has a small orange circle around one eye, with the other eye hidden. The game’s own description says its natural magic is boosted by the Warden pendant it wears, allowing it to cast strong water spells to generate water, or even control the water around itself. Diveodile is male, as confirmed in the Epics story, and its name comes from “dive” and “crocodile”. It is a pet from 2016, one of the oldest Epic pets in the game, and it is one of the few pets that has never been given an updated appearance, because it is unobtainable. If you are still learning the game’s pets, the Prodigy pets list: all pets and where to find them puts Diveodile in context with the rest of the collection.

Where Diveodile came from

Diveodile was added to Prodigy in 2016, as one of the original Epic pets. Epics were special pets that came from Epic Eggs: you opened an Epic Egg and got one of three main Epics, or, as a random alternative, Diveodile. Diveodile was added as that randomized alternative if a player already had one of the three main choices, which made it a surprise prize rather than a pet you could plan for. It could also be obtained by buying the Diveodile toy while it was available, which came with a code to unlock the pet in the game. The Epic Egg system is gone now, and the toy is no longer sold, which is why Diveodile cannot be obtained any more. The Epics are covered in detail in Prodigy epics guide: toys, figures and in game epics.

Can you catch Diveodile now

No, Diveodile cannot be caught now. It is not found in any area of the game, it cannot be rescued in the wild, and it cannot be bought in the Pet Store. It became unobtainable when the Epic Egg system ended, and it has stayed unobtainable since, with brief returns through the Epic Egg in 2021 that also ended. That is frustrating if you have seen a Diveodile in an old video or on another player’s team, but it is better to know the truth than to waste hours hunting a pet that is not in the game. The only honest advice is to watch for Prodigy’s events and updates: Mythical Epics and old Epics do sometimes return through login rewards, Treasure Track seasons and special events, and Diveodile could return that way one day. Until then, do not pay anyone who offers to sell you a Diveodile, and do not trust a video that claims a working way to catch one: there is no way to catch it right now.

Diveodile in battle

For players who do own a Diveodile, it is a strong Water pet. It does not evolve, as Epics do not evolve, so what you have is what you get, and what you get is good. Its spells are Torrent from the start, Water Burst at level 20, Multisplash at level 35 and Downpourtal at level 50, a full set of water spells that hit fire pets hard. Its weakness is storm: storm spells deal double damage to Diveodile, so a storm pet is the one thing it fears. Fire spells, on the other hand, deal only half damage to it, and water spells deal only three quarters, so it is tough against the elements it is built to beat. In battle it plays like a classic water attacker: strong against fire, weak against storm, and best used with a storm counter on the team to cover its one big weakness.

Diveodile’s variants: Aquadile and Pyrodile

Diveodile has two Mythical Epic variants, and they are worth knowing about because they look similar and they confuse players. Aquadile is the Water Mythical Epic version of Diveodile, and Pyrodile is the Fire Mythical Epic version. Both are Mythical Epics, which are upgraded and reskinned versions of existing Epics, and both were available through login rewards and Treasure Track seasons in the past. Aquadile used to be obtained by completing Treasure 22 during Treasure Track Season 9, and Pyrodile used to be obtained through Login Rewards Season 11. Both are currently unobtainable too, so they are not a way to get a Diveodile, but if you see a blue crocodile-like pet and it is not Diveodile, it is probably Aquadile, and if you see a red one, it is probably Pyrodile.

What to use instead of Diveodile

While Diveodile is away, the water pets you can actually catch are just as good for most battles. Squibble is the cheapest water pet in the game, it evolves into Squabble and then Squarrel, and it is easy to find in Firefly Forest, Shipwreck Shore or Skywatch. Mermina is the Water starter pet, and it evolves into Cuddlefin and then Aquamarina, a beautiful and powerful water pet. Fishbol evolves into Aquariot and then Nautitronic, a strong late game water pet. All three are covered in Water pets in Prodigy: how to catch and evolve them, and any of them will do the job Diveodile does: hit fire pets hard, control the water, and carry your team through Bonfire Spire. A water pet you own beats a legendary pet you cannot catch, every time.
