Grotle (Japanese: ハヤシガメ Hayashigame) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Turtwig starting at level 18 and evolves into Torterra starting at level 32.

Biology

 
Grotle with acorns

Grotle is a quadrupedal Pokémon with light green skin and a large shell covering its back. The shell is composed of hardened soil and conforms to the shape of Grotle's body, extending from its forehead to the tip of its short tail. The shell appears sectioned and is yellow with three long, brown ridges atop it. There are two bush-like trees growing around the outermost ridges. Grotle's lower jaw is yellow and has triangular extensions on the cheeks, while its upper jaw has a hooked tip. Its feet are yellow and have three claws each.

Grotle has the ability to sense where pure water wells up, and will carry other Pokémon on its back to these sources. It lives in forests but leaves during the day to allow more sunlight on its trees. Berries grow on the trees, attracting some species of Pokémon. In the anime, Grotle is seen to produce acorn-like nuts instead.

Grotle in Pokémon Adventures

Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl

Main article: Ash's Grotle

Ash's Grotle first appeared in PDP29, where it evolved from a Turtwig.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Tru

In Ring Around the Roserade I, Diamond's Turtwig, Tru, evolved into a Grotle. He became stronger and (slightly) faster in this new form, but was scarcely used for battles, as he would have been ineffective against Gardenia's Grass-type Pokémon, though he still helped Platinum train for future Gym battles. Soon afterwards, Grotle became a Torterra alongside Chimler in Veilstone City fighting a legion of Galactic Grunts, and his power and endurance grew tremendously.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

Jun's Turtwig evolved into a Grotle off-screen and later into Torterra.

On the Origin of Species: Turtwig, Grotle and Torterra

Grotle seems to be based on a snapping turtle, but it may also originate from a World Turtle, most likely Akūpāra. It also shares characteristics with armored Ankylosaurs.

Name origin

Grotle is a combination of grove and turtle. It may also derive from grotto or grow, referring to its Grass type.

Hayashigame is a combination of 林 hayashi (grove) and 亀 kame (turtle).
