    Concept »

    Wartortle is a water-type pokemon from the original Pokemon Red/Blue. Wartortle uses powerful blasts of water to repel its enemies, withdrawing into its shell when it needs to protect itself.

    Overview

    Wartortle is the evolved form of Squirtle (one of the starter Pokémon in Pokémon versions Red & Blue and LeafGreen & FireRed). Wartortle is slightly taller than Squirtle, and it has gained a larger tail, and large blue ears, used for balance while swimming.

    As a Water-type Pokémon, Wartortle is weak against Electric and Grass-type moves, taking 100% more damage from these types of attacks. However, it only takes 50% of standard damage from Fire, Water, Ice, and Steel-type moves.

    Wartortle first appeared in the Pokémon game series as the 2nd evolution form of one of the three starts in Red/Blue,Squirtle.

    It first appeared in the Anime Cartoon series in episode 60 ("Beach Blank-Out Blastoise"). In this episode, a group of Squirtle and Wartortle were distressed because their leader, a Blastoise, had mysteriously fallen asleep and wouldn't wake up.

    Evolution

    Wartortle evolves from Squirtle at level 16, and evolves into Blastoise at level 36.
