Turtwig (Japanese: ナエトル Naetle) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Grotle starting at level 18, which evolves into Torterra starting at level 32.

Along with Chimchar and Piplup, Turtwig is one of three starter Pokémon of Sinnoh available at the beginning of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Biology

Turtwig is a small, light green, quadruped Pokémon resembling a turtle or tortoise. Its eyes, feet, and lower jaw are yellow. Its body is covered by a brown shell that is composed of earth. The shell has a thick black stripe and a black rim. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist. A small seedling grows on a brown patch on its head. This seedling will wilt if the Pokémon becomes thirsty. As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. Due to its status as a starter Pokémon, a wild Turtwig is hard to come by and it is generally found under the ownership of Trainers.

Major appearances

Ash's Turtwig

Ash caught his Turtwig in Gettin' Twiggy With It!. It eventually evolved into Grotle during Aiding the Enemy!, and again into Torterra during The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!.

Paul's Turtwig

Paul's starter Pokémon was a Turtwig, which eventually fully evolved into a Torterra. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in A Pyramiding Rage!, where it was watching Reggie battle Brandon.

Other

Turtwig debuted in Following a Maiden's Voyage! as one of the starter Pokémon that Professor Rowan was giving out. It had a relaxed nature, ate almost the whole time, and was oblivious to the fight going on between Chimchar and Piplup. However, it appeared to be afraid of Rowan, as seen when it panicked after he glared at it.

Gardenia owns a Turtwig, which debuted in The Grass-Type is Always Greener!. It was used to battle Ash's Staravia and Turtwig, and it was able to defeat both of them. It reappeared in A Secret Sphere of Influence!, where it helped protect the Adamant Orb. It was then used in the Gym battle against Ash in The Grass Menagerie, where it once again defeated Staravia, but lost to Ash's Turtwig.

A Turtwig owned by Rowan appeared in SS024, where a new Trainer named Shinko was picking a starter Pokémon. It was left behind after Rowan's Chimchar and Piplup got into a fight and escaped his lab.

Minor appearances

A Turtwig appeared in Dawn of a New Era!, under the ownership of a Trainer at the Pokémon Center.

A Turtwig appeared in Classroom Training!. A young boy was using it at the Snowpoint Trainers' School to battle a Chimchar. Another Turtwig appeared during a flashback under the command of a young Candice.

A Turtwig appeared in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade as one of the Pokémon watching Meloetta's concert.

Trophy information

"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."
