Wartortle (Japanese: カメール Kameil) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Wartortle comes with the Ability Torrent, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Wartortle evolves from Squirtle starting at Level 16, then evolves into Blastoise starting at Level 36.

In the anime

Wartortle's first appearance was during Beach Blank-Out Blastoise where a group of Wartortle and Squirtle were troubled by their leader, a Blastoise, not waking up.

Another group of Wartortle are part of a fire-fighting squad. Team Wartortle work alongside Team Squirtle and Team Blastoise depending on which evolutionary form is best for the situation. Ash's Squirtle joined Team Wartortle to prove its strength in The Pokémon Water War. Team Wartortle later went up against the Squirtle Squad - this time with the opponents being led by Ash's Squirtle - in a fire-fighting competion in The Fire-ring Squad.

A Wartortle was owned by a teenager named Jimmy in Judgement Day. The Wartortle evolved into a Blastoise to free itself and Jimmy's Ivysaur and Charmeleon from Team Rocket.

While not actually seen before evolving into a Blastoise, Gary Oak had a Wartortle that he received as a Squirtle from Professor Oak.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Blue had a Wartortle, which had evolved from a Squirtle she stole from Professor Oak. It has since evolved into Blastoise.

Shuu has a Wartortle he caught after quite a bit of trouble in Pokémon Getto Da Ze!.

In the TCG

Four Wartortle cards have been released.

• Base Set: Wartortle

Name origin

Wartortle's name is a combination of war, tortoise, and turtle. The kame in Kameil comes from the Japanese word for tortoise/turtle, 亀, and may be a combination of 亀+テール kame+"tail". It is also a corruption of 噛める kameru, to be able to bite.

• Korean: 어니부기 Eonibugi - Portmanteau of sister and turtle.
