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, back, and short tail, and, along with its change of coloration to yellow, now appears sectioned. Turtwig's sprout has migrated to Grotle's back and grown into full bushes, which may occasionally be seen carrying brown, acorn-like nuts. There are three long, brown ridges on the top of Grotle’s shell. Grotle’s lower jaw is yellow in coloration and has triangular extensions on the cheeks. Grotle’s feet are also colored yellow, with three claws.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Grotle has the ability to sense where pure water wells up.
Behavior
Grotle will sometimes start to roll around in dirt and mud. This allows minerals to seep in and make its shell even harder. Grotle may also carry acorn-like nuts on its bushes.
Habitat
Grotle live in forests, near sources of fresh water.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Much like Turtwig, Grotle nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It may also eat berries like most Pokémon.
In the anime
Grotle made its debut appearance in Aiding the Enemy!, when Ash's Turtwig evolved. To date, no other Grotle has appeared in the anime.
Pokédex entries
In the manga
Diamond had a Grotle after his Turtwig evolved. Soon after, Diamond's Grotle evolved into a Torterra.
