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

Grotle 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.

Grotle 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.

Special abilities

Behavior

Habitat

Grotle live in forests, near sources of fresh water.
