Wartortle (Japanese: カメール Kameiru, German: Schillok, French: Carabaffe) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Squirtle comes with the Ability Torrent, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Wartortle evolves from Squirtle starting at Level 16, then evolves into Blastoise starting at Level 36.
