Grotle (Japanese: ハヤシガメ, HepburnHayashigame) (GRAHT-ull[1]) is the Grass-type First partner Pokémon of the Sinnoh region, evolved from Turtwig.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

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.

Behavior[]

These Pokémon live in forests and pristine places with clean spring water, and are often found near sources of food. Like Turtwig, they gain energy by photosynthesis but they also eat berries. During the day, they leave their forests to sunbathe their shells. They sometimes carry other Pokémon on their backs.

Natural abilities[]

Grotle can produce fruits that are sweet and nutritious from the shrubs on their backs.

Evolution[]

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