Turtwig (Japanese: ナエトル Naetle) is a Grass-type Pokémon. Along with Chimchar and Piplup, it is one of the three starter Pokémon the player receives at the beginning of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Turtwig comes with the ability Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
Turtwig evolves into Grotle at Level 18, and then again into Torterra at Level 32.
Biology
Summary
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise. Its prominent jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on its head, similar to the plant bulb on Bulbasaur's back and the leaf on Chikorita's head.
Physiology
Turtwig is a reptilian creature much like a tortoise. A sprout growing from its head reveals its Grass-type nature, much like Bulbasaur has a bulb growing on its back, and Chikorita has a leaf growing from its head.
