Their first appearance was ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''. They used to run wild in a small town in Kanto stealing things, writing graffiti and causing trouble for travellers in the area. Once they were tricked by [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] of [[Team Rocket]], who made a deal for them to help himself, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] capture [[Ash's Pikachu]]. When going after Pikachu it sustained a nasty injury from a {{p|Goldeen}}. In order to help Pikachu recover, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] convinced the Squirtle Squad to let him free to get a [[Super Potion]], but if he didn't return by noon the next day, they would kill Misty (in the dub, they threatened to dye her hair purple). Once Ash got back Team Rocket had arrived and decided to bomb the Squirtle Squad, causing a forest fire. Everyone went to find cover in the Squirtle Squad's cave. However, [[Ash's Squirtle|the leader of the Squirtle Squad]] was stuck on his back so Ash went back to help him.

==Trivia==
* {{AP|The Squirtle Squad's leader|Squirtle}} is referenced in {{game|Yellow}}, as well as in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], when an [[Officer Jenny]] tells the {{player}} that she {{pkmn2|caught}} a Squirtle that was constantly getting into mischief. She mentions it needed a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} to take care of it, and will give it to the player after they defeat [[Lt. Surge]]{{sup/1|Y}} or {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} over 60 Pokémon{{sup/7|PE}}.
* All members of the Squirtle Squad appear to have heads that are a slightly different shape from all other Squirtle and each other.
* In their [[EP012|debut appearance]], the Squirtle Squad's black jackets all had ゼ (from '''ゼ'''二ガメ; '''Ze'''nigame) printed on the back. This was edited out for the dub, and was removed completely when the jackets appeared in later episodes.
* The [[Decolore Islands]] pirates in ''[[BW129|The Pirates of Decolore!]]'' share some parallelism to the Squirtle Squad, in that both consist of Pokémon who were abandoned by their Trainers, and both gave up a life of crime to work in public services.
