Squirtle is a small Pokémon that resembles a light blue turtle. While it typically walks on its two short legs, it has been shown to run on all fours in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. It has large brown eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet have three pointed digits. The end of its long tail curls inward. Its body is encased by a tough shell that forms and hardens after birth. This shell is brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and has a thick white ridge between the two halves.
Squirtle is a small {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a light-blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. While it typically walks on its two short legs, it has been shown to run on all fours in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. It has large, purplish or reddish eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet have three pointed digits. The end of its long, squirrel-like tail curls inward. Its body is encased by a tough shell that forms and hardens after birth. This shell is brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and has a thick white ridge between the two halves.


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. 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.

In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', Squirtle are shown to be found living on secluded islands with other members of their evolutionary line.  {{p|Sharpedo}} is a natural predator of Squirtle. As shown in ''[[Pokémon Sleep]]'', Squirtle is known to sleep by withdrawing its limbs and head into its shell.<ref>[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>  It does this to protect itself from threats while sleeping.

However, when he arrived at {{an|Professor Oak|Oak}}'s lab, he found out it was too late, as another Trainer who started the same day had already taken it. It was shown battling and defeating [[Samurai]]'s {{p|Metapod}}.


It wasn't until ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'' that it was revealed that the Trainer who took Squirtle was none other than [[Gary Oak]], Ash's [[rival]]. By then, it had already evolved into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.

====Trophy information====
''Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger.

{{sbw|Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle}} is a playable Pokémon used by the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Tiny Turtle Pokémon. In times of danger, it pulls its arms and legs inside its shell to protect from enemy attacks. When it conceals its neck, it also shoots a powerful stream of water from its mouth. Its shell not only protects its body, but also reduces water friction when in the water. When leveled up, it evolves into Wartortle."''
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Squirtle returns as a trophy in both versions of the game.
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three starter Pokémon. Squirtle's always a popular choice, what with it being so gosh-darn adorable. When it's in danger, though, it withdraws into its shell and spits a high-pressure burst of water—a bit less adorable.''
 
'''PAL''': ''At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three starter Pokémon. Squirtle's always a popular choice, what with him being so flipping adorable. When it's in danger, though, it withdraws into its shell and spits a high-pressure burst of water, which isn't quite so adorable.''

===Main series===
[[File:Ash Squirtle.png|thumb|250px|Squirtle in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Gary's Squirtle]]=====
In a flashback in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', a Squirtle was depicted battling and defeating [[Samurai]]'s {{p|Metapod}}.
It wasn't until ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'' that it was revealed that the Trainer who took Squirtle was [[Gary Oak]], Ash's [[rival]]. By then, it had already evolved into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
Squirtle was seen in a flashback during ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. Professor Oak revealed to Ash that it had already been collected.
=====[[Ash's Squirtle]]=====
Squirtle physically debuted in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' as the leader of the [[Squirtle Squad]], a gang of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Ash befriended and {{pkmn2|caught}} this Squirtle, who stayed with Ash until ''[[EP147|The Fire-ring Squad!]]'', when it returned to the Squirtle Squad. However, it briefly reappeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', to assist Ash with his final battle against [[Brandon]].
=====[[Squirtle Squad]]=====
The Squirtle Squad were a gang of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their Trainers, who appeared in ''Here Comes the Squirtle Squad''. While Ash befriended and caught their [[Ash's Squirtle|leader]], the rest of them became a firefighting group.
=====[[May's Squirtle]]=====
{{an|May}} received a Squirtle from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''. This Squirtle was visibly younger and timid but was used in several {{pkmn|Contest}}s. Squirtle would evolve into {{p|Wartortle}} by the time it appeared in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]''.
=====[[Team Go-Getters]]=====
The main character in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use {{m|Water Gun}}, he is happy to use {{m|Bubble}} because it looks pretty.
=====[[Tierno's Squirtle]]=====
{{an|Tierno}}'s Squirtle debuted in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''. It evolved into Wartortle by the time of ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'' and then into Blastoise by ''[[XY091|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Squirtle appears to be based on {{wp|turtle}}s.
Squirtle's design is based on both its final evolved form and baby {{wp|turtle}}s,<ref name=Origin>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/corporate/en/pikachu/ ''The Origin Story of Pikachu'']</ref> though its anatomy and semi-aquatic lifestyle are much more similar to {{wp|terrapin}}s, with proportions matching those of the {{wp|big-headed turtle}}. Much like Wartortle, its tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'' (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Squirtle is a combination of ''squirt'' (''to spray'' and ''small child'') and ''turtle'', for its turtle-like appearance.
<!--Do NOT add squirrel. Just because both Squirtle and Squirrel have "Squir", doesn't mean it comes from squirrel. Squirtle is also not a squirrel.-->
Squirtle may be a combination of ''squirt'' (to spray; small child) and ''turtle''.


Zenigame is the Japanese word 銭亀 (baby pond turtle). According to {{game|Black and White|s}}'s television program ''PokéQuiz'', "'Zeni' is an old-fashioned word for money. Squirtle's shells look like old coins, so that's how they got their name!"
