Grotle (Japanese: ハヤシガメ Hayashigame) is the Grass-type Starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region, evolved from Turtwig. Its special ability is Overgrow. It lives in the forest. They come out of the forest to sunbathe the trees on their backs.

BiologyEdit

ApperanceEdit

Grotle has a large, yellow shell that covers the back, head and short tail. It also has two large bushes that sprout nuts and there are three brown stripes on the shell. Grotle's lower jaw is yellow and has triangle shaped on its cheeks. The feet are also yellow and they each have three claws.

HabitatEdit

These pokémon live in forests and are often found near sources of food.

FoodEdit

Grotle, like Turtwig, gets energy by photosynthesis but it can also eat berries.

EtymologyEdit

Grotle probably got its name from "Ground" and "Turtle", or alternatively, "Grotto", and "Turtle". Or another alternative is "Grow" and "Turtle" due to plants ability to photosynthesize.

EvolutionEdit

Grotle is the evolved form of Turtwig as of level 18. Grotle evolves into Torterra once it reaches level 32.
