Squirtle is a light blue bipedal turtle with its most notable feature being the hard shell on its back. The top part of the shell and bottom part of the body have octagon shapes. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. It could perhaps be distantly related to some other turtle-like Pokémon, such as {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Squirtle seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Squirtle's shell is an extremely helpful defensive tool. It can {{m|withdraw}} into the shell to block physical attacks. Its smooth, hard shell and head also aid it in other ways, such as minimizing its resistance in water to increase its swimming speed, and allowing it to launch attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Skull Bash}}.
