It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at [[level]] 36. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, Squirtle is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. ==Biology== [[File:May Squirtle Withdraw.png|thumb|200px|left|Squirtle in its shell]] Squirtle is a small {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a light-blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. While it typically walks on its two short legs, it has been shown to run on all fours in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. It has large, purplish or reddish eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet have three pointed digits. The end of its long tail curls inward. Its body is encased by a tough shell that forms and hardens after birth. This shell is brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and has a thick white ridge between the two halves. Squirtle's shell is a useful tool. It can withdraw into the shell for protection or to sleep. The grooved, rounded shape helps to reduce water resistance, allowing the Pokémon to swim at high speeds. Squirtle can spray foamy water from its mouth with great accuracy. Squirtle is scarce in the wild, although it can be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|around small ponds and lakes}}. [[EP060|The anime has shown]] that it can be found living on secluded islands with other members of its evolutionary line. {{p|Sharpedo}} is a natural predator of Squirtle. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Skull Bash}} was its [[signature move]]. {{left clear}} ==In the anime== ===Main series=== [[File:Tierno Squirtle.png‎|thumb|250px|Squirtle in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] ====Major appearances==== =====[[Gary's Squirtle]]===== In a flashback in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', a Squirtle was depicted battling and defeating [[Samurai]]'s {{p|Metapod}}.

He later used it to battle {{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s {{p|Charmander}} and won with ease. Sometime before Red went to the [[Pokémon Tower]] in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', Squirtle evolved into Wartortle. It was shown later as a Blastoise in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', when it battled Red's fully evolved {{TP|Red|Charizard}}.

After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again. ====Trophy information==== ''Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that Trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.'' ===[[Super Smash Bros.

In times of danger, it pulls its arms and legs inside its shell to protect from enemy attacks. When it conceals its neck, it also shoots a powerful stream of water from its mouth. Its shell not only protects its body, but also reduces water friction when in the water. When leveled up, it evolves into Wartortle."'' ===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]=== [[File:Squirtle SSBU.png|200px|thumb|Squirtle from ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']] Squirtle does not return as a playable character in either version of the game. Instead, it appears as a trophy in both versions of the game. ====Trophy information==== '''NA''': ''At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three starter Pokémon. Squirtle's always a popular choice, what with it being so gosh-darn adorable. When it's in danger, though, it withdraws into its shell and spits a high-pressure burst of water—a bit less adorable.'' '''PAL''': ''At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three starter Pokémon. Squirtle's always a popular choice, what with him being so flipping adorable. When it's in danger, though, it withdraws into its shell and spits a high-pressure burst of water, which isn't quite so adorable.'' ===[[Super Smash Bros.

Much like Wartortle, its tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'' (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}. ====Name origin==== <!--Do NOT add squirrel. Just because both Squirtle and Squirrel have "Squir", doesn't mean it comes from squirrel. Squirtle is also not a squirrel.--> Squirtle may be a combination of ''squirt'' (to spray; small child) and ''turtle''. Zenigame may be a combination of 銭 ''zeni'' (money) and 亀 ''kame'' (turtle), forming the word 銭亀 ''zenigame'' (baby {{wp|Japanese pond turtle}}). According to {{game|Black and White|s}}'s television program ''PokéQuiz'', "'Zeni' is an old-fashioned word for money.
