Grotle (Japanese: ハヤシガメ Hayashigame) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Turtwig starting at level 18, and evolves into Torterra starting at level 32.

Biology

Physiology

The shell possessed by Turtwig has grown to protect Grotle's entire head and back. Turtwig's sprout has migrated to Grotle's back and grown into full bushes. Grotle will sometimes start to roll around in dirt and mud. This allows minerals to seep in and make its shell even harder.

Gender differences

None.

Habitat

Grotle live in forests, near sources of fresh water.
