'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Biology==

Squirtle's shell is a useful tool. It can withdraw into the shell for protection or [[EP060|for sleeping]], and its grooved, rounded shape helps to reduce water resistance when this Pokémon swims. Squirtle can spray foamy water from its mouth with great accuracy. In the past, {{m|Skull Bash}} was its signature move. Squirtle is scarce in the wild, although it can be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|around small ponds and lakes.}} [[EP060|The anime has shown]] that it can be found living on secluded islands with other members of its evolutionary line.
