Squirtle is one of Ash's most trustworthy Pokémon, but it is by no means perfect. Compared especially with its closest friend, the very serious {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, it comes across as immature and mischievous, particularly during its time with the [[Squirtle Squad]], where it led the gang to commit various pranks and other acts, and how it embarrassed itself trying to intimidate a {{p|Snubbull}} in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. However, through Squirtle's travels with Ash, it matured considerably, and his behavior when it reunited with the Squad later on had a noticeable difference. Although very loyal to Ash after the latter saved its life, it was somewhat cynical at times.

Mature or not, Squirtle is a born leader and prefers to wear his signature dark sunglasses when faced with tough situations. It donned them while investigating {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s presence on {{OBP|Unnamed island|EP060|an island}} in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', and also when it competed against [[Team Wartortle]] to prove itself, after his firefighting spirit hurt by his inability to put out the fire that Team Wartortle had extinguished. While prideful, Squirtle has proven adaptable in most situations and prefers collaboration over rivalry. | Mature or not, Squirtle is a born leader and prefers to wear his signature dark sunglasses when faced with tough situations.
