| ===Physiology===
| | Turtwig is a small, light {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|green}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}} Pokémon resembling a {{wp|turtle}} or {{wp|tortoise}}. Its eyes, feet, and lower jaw are yellow. Its body is covered by a brown shell that is composed of earth. The shell has a thick black stripe and a black rim. A small seedling grows on a brown patch on its head. As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[Berry|Berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. |
