Tirtouga

() is a Generation V /-type Fossil Pokémon. Tirtouga can be revived from the Cover Fossil.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tirtouga is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles the Archelon, a group of extinct sea turtles. Its body is mainly deep blue, and it bears a black/blue shell on its back. Its skin is a lighter blue, with its face covered in a marking that is the same color as its shell. It has more of these markings in the middle of its fins.
=== Behavior ===
Though slow and clumsy on land, they nevertheless could beach themselves onto shores in order to capture unsuspecting prey. Indeed, some studies suggest that a sizable portion of their meals came from terrestrial prey. Tirtouga are thought to have gone extinct because they was unable to compete with similar chelonians; although their competitors were slower, they also required less food to survive and reproduce.
==Evolution==
Tirtouga evolves into Carracosta at level 37.
