'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. <br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, Turtwig is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. The shell should feel moist on a healthy Turtwig. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their Trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.<br />
<br />
Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests. <br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Gardenia Turtwig.png|thumb|210px|Turtwig in the anime]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
====[[Ash's Torterra|Ash's Turtwig]]====<br />
{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', and again in ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]''.<br />
<br />
====[[Paul's Torterra|Paul's Turtwig]]====<br />
[[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].<br />
<br />
====Other====<br />
The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a Turtwig that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the Gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to Ash's Turtwig.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokémon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature and it was eating almost the whole time. Another Turtwig owned by Rowan appears in [[SS024]].<br />
<br />
Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a Trainer at the [[Pokémon Center]].<br />
<br />
Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers' School to battle a {{p|Chimchar}}.<br />

[[File:Jun Turtwig DPA.png|thumb|125px|Turtwig in {{pkmn|Diamond and Pearl Adventure!}}]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Tru]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimler]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimler.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===<br />
Turtwig is {{OBP|Jun|DPA}}'s [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]. It was partnered with [[Hareta]]'s {{TP|Hareta|Piplup|Empoleon}} to battle [[Mars]]'s {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Purugly}}. It later appeared as a {{p|Torterra}}, having evolved from {{p|Grotle}} earlier.<br />
<br />
[[Gardenia]] also has a Turtwig which was used in the Gym Battle against [[Hareta]]'s {{p|Misdreavus}}.<br />
<br />

{{main|Turtwig (TCG)}}<br />
<br />
== Other appearances ==<br />
<br />
Turtwig appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as a trophy. <br />
<br />
=== Trophy Information ===<br />
<br />
''"A Tiny Leaf Pokémon. Despite its animal appearance, Turtwig actually has vegetation sprouting from its head. The shell on its back is made of soil and hardens when it drinks water. Much like a plant, Turtwig performs photosynthesis, absorbing sunlight and making oxygen. It also relies heavily on water to keep its plant healthy and thus spends a lot of time near lakes. Turtwig evolves into Grotle."''<br />
