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

It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies with a stream of water. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

====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'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 first partner Pokémon.

''Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that Trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.''

====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."''

'''NA''': ''At the start of their Pokémon adventures, many aspiring trainers visit Professor Oak to choose one of three first partner 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.''
