Wartortle (Japanese: カメール Kameil) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Squirtle starting at level 16 and evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36.

Biology

Physiology

Wartortle are tailed bipedal, indigo-blue turtle-like Pokémon with brown shells and long, furry tails and ears. Wartortle has small fangs protruding out of its mouth, brown irises, and three sharp claws on its arms. Small, oval shaped spots are located under their eyes. To maintain balance while swimming at high speeds, Wartortle move their unusual furry ears and tails. This tail, covered in rich, angelic thick fur, is so long that it sticks out a bit even when Wartortle withdraw into their shell. They use the fur to store air for extended underwater diving. As a Wartortle ages, algae may grow on its shell, and the color of its tail fur deepens.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Wartortle can spit water out of its mouth at higher speeds than Squirtle. It can swim faster, as well. However, being bigger they are a little less maneuverable out of the water than Squirtle. Its shell also provides a great defense.

Behavior

Wartortle are loyal to their Trainers. They are also more aggressive than Squirtle. They tend to hide in water when hunting and emerge to surprise their prey. They are known to be very tough Pokémon that often have scratches on their shell which serve as reminders of past battles. They are conceived to be a popular pet, as they are long-lived. Wartortle, and in particular their tails, are considered a symbol of longevity. It is said that this Pokémon can live for up to 10,000 years, although this is likely a myth.

Habitat

Wartortle can be found living on island beaches near the ocean, but their preferred habitat seems to be freshwater ponds and lakes. They are most commonly found in Kanto region.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

While it can feed on the usual omnivorous diet most Pokémon have, Wartortle mostly feeds on aquatic plants and small creatures.

Trivia

Anime promotional art depicting Wartortle with the same color on its ears and its face.
  • Even though Wartortle's ears are depicted lighter than its face in the official Sugimori stock art and most of its game sprites, the official promotional pictures usually have the ears the same color as its face.

Origin

Its design appears to be a stylized sea turtle with features of tortoises.

Name origin

Wartortle's name is a combination of war or warrior, tortoise, and turtle.

Kameil comes from the Japanese word 亀 kame (tortoise/turtle) and may be a combination of 亀 kame and テール tail. It is also a corruption of 噛める kameru (to be able to bite).
