Squirtle (Japanese: ゼニガメ Zenigame) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Wartortle starting at level 16, which evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36.

Along with Bulbasaur and Charmander, Squirtle is one of three starter Pokémon of Kanto available at the beginning of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen.

Biology

 
Squirtle in its shell

Squirtle is a small Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. While it typically walks on its two short legs, it has been shown to run on all fours in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It has large, purplish or reddish eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet have three pointed digits. The end of its long tail curls inward. Its body is encased by a tough shell that forms and hardens after birth. This shell is brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and has a thick white ridge between the two halves.

Squirtle's shell is a useful tool. It can withdraw into the shell for protection or to sleep. The grooved, rounded shape helps to reduce water resistance, allowing the Pokémon to swim at high speeds. Squirtle can spray foamy water from its mouth with great accuracy. Squirtle is scarce in the wild, although it can be found around small ponds and lakes. The anime has shown that it can be found living on secluded islands with other members of its evolutionary line. In the past, Skull Bash was its signature move. Sharpedo is a natural predator of Squirtle.

Squirtle in the anime

Major appearances

Gary's Squirtle

In a flashback in Challenge of the Samurai, a Squirtle was depicted battling and defeating Samurai's Metapod.

It wasn't until The Ties that Bind that it was revealed that the Trainer who took Squirtle was Gary Oak, Ash's rival. By then, it had already evolved into a Blastoise.

Squirtle was seen in a flashback during I Choose You!, which is set in a different continuity from the main series. Professor Oak revealed to Ash that it had already been collected.

Ash's Squirtle

Squirtle physically debuted in Here Comes the Squirtle Squad as the leader of the Squirtle Squad, a gang of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their Trainers. Ash befriended and caught this Squirtle, who stayed with Ash until The Fire-ring Squad!, when it returned to the Squirtle Squad. However, it briefly reappeared in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, to assist Ash with his final battle against Brandon.

Squirtle Squad

The Squirtle Squad were a gang of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their Trainers, who appeared in Here Comes the Squirtle Squad. While Ash befriended and caught their leader, the rest of them became a firefighting group.

May's Squirtle

May received a Squirtle from Professor Oak in The Right Place and the Right Mime. This Squirtle was visibly younger and timid but was used in several Contests. Squirtle would evolve into Wartortle by the time it appeared in Staging a Heroes Welcome.

Team Go-Getters

The main character in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate! special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use Water Gun, he is happy to use Bubble because it looks pretty.

Tierno's Squirtle

Tierno's Squirtle debuted in Summer of Discovery!. It evolved into Wartortle by the time of Good Friends, Great Training! and then into Blastoise by Tag Team Battle Inspiration!.

Other

In Beach Blank-Out Blastoise, multiple Blastoise and Wartortle were troubled by their leader, a Blastoise, not waking up.

In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Squirtle was cloned from Ash's Squirtle. It then participated in the battle between the original Pokémon and the cloned Pokémon. Squirtle reappeared in Mewtwo Returns.

In Journey to the Starting Line!, a Squirtle was one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon Gilbert was supposed to choose from. After they were scared off by Ash's Tauros, Professor Oak, Tracey, Delia, and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found, being found stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. Ash's Bulbasaur managed to catch Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

In A Six Pack Attack!, a Squirtle went with Professor Oak on his trip to Hoenn along with a Bulbasaur and Charmander.

Minor appearances

In Pokémon - I Choose You!, a Squirtle appeared in Ash's dream of having one as his prospective starter.

Main article: Blasty

Green stole a Squirtle from Professor Oak, which she nicknamed Blasty. He has since evolved into Wartortle and then Blastoise more quickly than the others, possibly due to her innate talent in evolving Pokémon, as acknowledged by the Masked Man. Blasty is never shown in his Squirtle form, (save the contents page of the third volume and a picture Professor Oak had of Green stealing him from his lab). His first appearance, as a Wartortle, is in Wartortle Wars, returning as a Blastoise in Zap, Zap, Zapdos.

Squirtle is seen on the stage Pokéfloats and is the first Pokéfloat to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

Trophy information

Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that Trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 
Squirtle from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Squirtle is a playable Pokémon used by the Pokémon Trainer alongside Ivysaur and Charizard. It can use Waterfall to recover from falls as well as Withdraw, in which case it retreats to its shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. It also uses Water Gun to push enemies with a stream of water. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and Water-type moves to combat its foes. It uses Hydro Pump in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, Triple Finish.

Trophy information

 
Squirtle in Detective Pikachu

"A Tiny Turtle Pokémon. In times of danger, it pulls its arms and legs inside its shell to protect from enemy attacks. When it conceals its neck, it also shoots a powerful stream of water from its mouth. Its shell not only protects its body, but also reduces water friction when in the water. When leveled up, it evolves into Wartortle."

Trophy information

NA: At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three starter Pokémon. Squirtle's always a popular choice, what with it being so gosh-darn adorable. When it's in danger, though, it withdraws into its shell and spits a high-pressure burst of water—a bit less adorable.

PAL: At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three starter Pokémon.

Trivia

 
$1 coins from Niue
  • Niue released a one-dollar coin featuring Squirtle as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Squirtle on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
  • As a species, Squirtle has been trained the most frequently out of all the Kanto starter Pokémon by major anime Trainers, with Ash, May, Gary, and Tierno each owning one.

Origin

Squirtle's design is based on both its final evolved form and baby turtles[1], though its anatomy and semi-aquatic lifestyle are much more similar to terrapins. Much like Wartortle, its tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the minogame (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of seaweed.

Name origin

Squirtle is a combination of squirt (to spray and small child) and turtle.

Zenigame is a combination of 銭 zeni (money) and 亀 kame (tortoise/turtle). It literally means 銭亀 baby pond turtle. According to Pokémon Black and White's television program PokéQuiz, "'Zeni' is an old-fashioned word for money. Squirtle's shells look like old coins, so that's how they got their name!"
