The shell possessed by Turtwig has grown to protect Grotle's entire head, back, and short tail, and, along with its change of coloration to yellow, now appears sectioned. Turtwig's sprout has migrated to Grotle's back and grown into full bushes, which may occasionally be seen carrying brown, acorn-like nuts. There are three long, brown ridges on the top of Grotle's shell. Grotle's lower jaw is yellow in coloration and has triangular extensions on the cheeks. Grotle's feet are also colored yellow, each with three claws.


====Gender differences====
Grotle is a quadruped 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 its back and its short tail. The shell appears sectioned and is colored yellow. There are three long, brown ridges atop it, with two bush-like trees growing around the outermost ridges. Berries grow on the trees, attracting some species of Pokémon. In the anime, Grotle is seen to carry acorn-like nuts instead. Grotle's lower jaw is yellow in coloration and has triangular extensions on the cheeks. Its feet are also colored yellow and each has three claws.
None.


===Special abilities===
Grotle has the ability to sense where pure water wells up. It is stated to carry other Pokémon there on its back. Grotle lives in forests, near sources of fresh water. During the day, it leaves the forest to allow more sunlight on its trees. Much like {{p|Turtwig}}, it nourishes itself through photosynthesis.
