Introduction
Squritle is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves into Warturtle starting at level 16, which evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36. Along with Bulbasaur and Charmadnder, Squirtle is one of three starter Pokémon of Kanto that was first introduced in the first Pokémon Game (Pokémon Red and Green) in 1996.
Biology
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 when this Pokémon swims. 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.
Name Origin
The name Squirtle is a combination of the words "Squirt" which means to spray and small child and "Turtle".
