Kiawe's Turtonator (Japanese: カキのバクガメス Kaki's Bakugames) is Kiawe's first known Pokémon.

History

Turtonator and Kiawe

Prior to the start of the series, Turtonator was used in Kiawe's grand trial against Olivia on Akala Island in order to receive his grandfather's Z-Ring.

Turtonator first appeared in Alola to New Adventure!, being Kiawe's choice to battle against Tupper, Zip, and Wrap, a trio of Team Skull Grunts. It was joined by Ash and his Pikachu. Turtonator was shown to be a capable fighter, starting the battle by easily taking hits from Zubat's Leech Life and Yungoos's Bite attacks before countering them with Shell Trap. After Ash and Pikachu gained the upper hand, Kiawe had Ash stand back to allow Turtonator to finish the fight. Calling out to Turtonator, the Firium Z on Kiawe's Z-Ring glowed, and after a series of synchronized poses, Turtonator unleashed its Z-Move, Inferno Overdrive, wiping out Team Skull's Pokémon, forcing the Grunts to retreat.

In SM034, Kiawe used Turtonator to battle an Alolan Marowak that had stolen the treasured "Wela Crown", an item said to boost the power of the Pokémon wearing it, from Wela Volcano Park. During the battle, Turtonator was shown being able to use Dragon Tail. However, Turtonator ended up getting defeated by the Bone Keeper Pokémon, with even its Z-Move failing to hit its target. Later, after receiving some encouraging words from Ash, Kiawe agreed to have a practice battle between Pikachu and Turtonator in order to be ready for a rematch with Marowak. During the battle, Turtonator ended up learning a new move, which boosted Kiawe's confidence even further. The next day, Kiawe challenged Marowak again. With its new move, Shell Smash, Turtonator was able to gain enough Speed to keep up with Marowak, allowing it to defeat its opponent this time around and retrieve the stolen crown. After the battle, Marowak chose to join Kiawe's team.

Personality and characteristics

Turtonator is a very powerful and defensive Pokémon, able to take multiple hits from Team Skull's Pokémon without showing any signs of damage. It has a trusting relationship with its Trainer, as Kiawe confidently sends it into battle with his Charizard on the line. It is also shown to be a friendly Pokémon as shown in Getting to Know You!, where it got along with the other Pokémon and even allowed Ash and his classmates's Pokémon to play on its back. In SM030, however, it felt uncomfortable when the energetic Harper and Sarah were jumping on its back. Turtonator was also shown to like having its back brushed.

Turtonator has been shown as very kind and helpful when it comes to helping other Pokémon as shown in Rocking Clawmark Hill! where it was helping Rockruff dodge moves and in A Shivering Shovel Search! where it was helping Litten to master Fire Fang.

In SM031, it was shown to show affection towards someone by biting onto the persons head, as seen when it bit onto Olivia's head.
