Squirtle (Japanese: ゼニガメ Zenigame, German: Schiggy, French: Carapuce, Korean: 꼬부기 Kkobugi) is a Water-type Pokémon. Along with Bulbasaur and Charmander, it is one of three starter Pokémon you can receive at the beginning of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Green, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
Squirtle 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.
Squirtle evolves via level, into Wartortle starting at Level 16, then into Blastoise starting at Level 36.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue
- After birth, its back swells and hardens into a shell. Powerfully sprays foam from its mouth.
- Pokémon Yellow
- Shoots water at prey while in the water. Withdraws into its shell when in danger.
- Pokémon Stadium
- It takes time for the shell to form and harden after hatching. It sprays foam powerfully from its mouth.
- Pokémon Gold / Pokémon Stadium 2
- The shell is soft when it is born. It soon becomes so resilient, prodding fingers will bounce off it.
- Pokémon Silver
- The shell, which hardens soon after it is born, is resilient. If you poke it, it will bounce back out.
- Pokémon Crystal
- When it feels threatened, it draws its legs inside its shell and sprays water from its mouth.
- Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
- Squirtle's shell is not merely used for protection. The shell's rounded shape and the grooves on its surface help minimize resistance in water, enabling this Pokémon to swim at high speeds.
- Pokémon Emerald
- Its shell is not just for protection. Its rounded shape and the grooves on its surface minimize resistance in water, enabling Squirtle to swim at high speeds.
- Pokémon FireRed
- When it retracts its long neck into its shell, it squirts out water with vigorous force.
- Pokémon LeafGreen
- After birth, its back swells and hardens into a shell. It powerfully sprays foam from its mouth.
Name origin
Squirtle's name is a combination of squirt, which in this case can hold two meanings- a verb, to spray water, and a noun, a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others -and turtle. Zenigame is simply the Japanese word for pond turtle, 銭亀.
Naturally, it looks just like a turtle.
