One of Squirtle's most notable battles and its only Gym Battle win was in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''. Earlier in the episode, it helped Pikachu and Bulbasaur destroy the targets, before coming out third against [[Rudy]]'s {{p|Starmie}}. Its powerful Water Gun managed to match Squirtle's, and Rudy's music allowed Starmie to dance away from Squirtle's moves and then use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to knock Squirtle into submission.

With encouragement from Misty, Squirtle propelled itself away from Thunderbolt and while using Withdraw, learned Hydro Pump to become airborne and hit Starmie hard. Closing the battle with Skull Bash, Ash wins the battle and his third Orange Island Gym Badge. | ||
In ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War!]]'', Squirtle attempted to rescue a warehouse on fire, but when the fire spread, it needed rescuing itself by [[Captain Aidan]] and Team Wartortle. This shot Squirtle's confidence as a firefighter and Ash pleaded with Aidan to allow Squirtle to train with his team for a short period. However, they fell into a Team Rocket trap and were captured, but Squirtle's thinking allowed the group to escape: they flooded the cabin to allow mobility, and then trick {{MTR}} into cutting the nets, before blasting Team Rocket away. Squirtle then joins the effort at a burning apartment and halts the fire, saving the day. | In ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War!]]'', Squirtle attempted to rescue a warehouse on fire, but when the fire spread, it needed rescuing itself by [[Captain Aidan]] and Team Wartortle.

Squirtle can be called upon at any time. In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', it returned to help Ash with his final battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, meeting [[May's Squirtle]]. It expressed happiness in seeing {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} again and departed with the two, Ash and {{AP|Charizard}} for the woods. Though tension between the group started to erupt, they settled their differences and sat as Ash recalled his meetings with the four of them. After Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket, Squirtle participated in saving his teammate with the others. In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', it took on Brandon's {{p|Ninjask}}. Squirtle's Rapid Spin deflected {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Ninjask gained the upper hand by stalling Squirtle with Double Team and hitting with Aerial Ace | Squirtle can be called upon at any time.

Squirtle's Rapid Spin deflected {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Ninjask gained the upper hand by stalling Squirtle with Double Team and hitting with Aerial Ace while Squirtle blasted through the afterimages. Squirtle managed to escape {{m|Sandstorm}} with Hydro Pump, but is blinded by {{m|Sand Attack}} to the eyes, leaving it exposed to Ninjask's attacks. It listens for Ninjask, but Hydro Pump misses. However, the water clears Squirtle's eyes and it Skull Bashes Ninjask dead-on, knocking it out of the battle. | ||
{{p|Solrock}} came out next, but Squirtle's moves were all dodged or blocked by Psychic moves. A missed Rapid Spin saw Squirtle crash into the wall, and it was flattened by {{m|Solar Beam}}, causing it to lose the match. After the battle was won, Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad, where it still remains. | {{p|Solrock}} came out next, but Squirtle's moves were all dodged or blocked by Psychic moves.
