[[Category:Grass-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation IV Pokémon]] [[Category:Green Pokémon]] Turtwig (Japanese: ナエトル Naetoru) is the Grass-type Starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region. Made from soil, its shell on its back hardens when it drinks water. It lives near lakes.
Appearance
Turtwig is an awesome Pokemon and appears to be a green tortoise/turtle Pokémon with a small brown "horn" on its head and on the "horn" are two green leaves. It has large yellow eyes and its face is oddly shaped. On the bottom of the face there is a yellow mouth in an obtuse shape, similar to a Snapping Turtle. Also on its face it has two tiny nostrils. It has four small stubby feet, so it can't move as fast, and on the bottom of its feet are an obtuse area of yellow towards the bottom of the feet. It also has a shell on its back. The shell is brown with black on the bottom and a few stripes.
In the Anime
Turtwig is used by Ash in the Sinnoh Region. It could learn Tackle, Withdraw, Absorb, Razor Leaf, Curse, Bite, Mega Drain, Leech Seed, Synthesis, Crunch, Giga Drain, and Leaf Storm. Later in the series, Ash's Turtwig evolved into Grotle, but this made it hard for Ash to train it, due to a lack of speed. Afterwards, Paul's Torterra teaches Grotle how to fight with reduced speed. Ash later uses this strategy there on. It soon evolves into Torterra at Sunyshore City during another battle with Team Rocket.
It is set to reappear in the Pikachu short airing along with the 15th Pokémon movie.
