'''Tirtouga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プロトーガ''' ''Protoga'') is a {{2t|Water|Rock}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.  

Tirtouga resembles a baby sea turtle, or more specifically a leatherback. Many less armored places on Tirtouga's body, such as its flippers, are blue. It has a black upper beak and “mask”, and black spots on the edges of its front flippers as well. Its black shell has six circular indentations in it.

 

None.

 

Tirtouga's shell is very tough, and it can dive down to depths of as much as 1000 meters.

 

 

Tirtouga once lived in the oceans long ago, sometimes coming ashore to eat. Today, the Pokémon is considered extinct.

 

Tirtouga are omnivorous. They are known to eat fruit, and are thought to come onto the shore and hunt prey.

[[Marshal]] owned a Tirtouga sometime before arriving in [[Nimbasa City]]. Because of its hard-to-control nature, he released it the day before meeting {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}}. It was later captured by Black and named Goura. Under Black's ownership, it eventually {{p|Carracosta|evolved}}.

Tirtouga appears to be based on a baby {{wp|sea turtle}}, more specifically, a {{wp|leatherback turtle|leatherback}}.  

Tirtouga may be a corruption of ''tortuga'' (Spanish for ''turtle'', ''tir'' having a similar phonetic pronunciation to the ''tur'' in ''turtle'') or derived from ''{{wp|Tortuga (Haiti)|Tortuga}}'' (translated as ''Turtle Island'' in French and Spanish). It may also be a corruption of ''tartaruga'', Italian and Portuguese for ''tortoise'', seeing as turtles are closely related to tortoises.
