=== Special attacks ===
Special move 	Name 	Description 	Damage
Standard special	Water Gun	Charges up, then spits out streams of water. The water does not deal damage or cause flinching, serving only to push opponents, similarly to Mario's F.L.U.D.D. The move can be charged for up to around one second. The charging can be cancelled by either pressing the special button, which uses the move at its current charge, or by jumping, shielding, or rolling, all of which preserve the current charge. The longer the move is charged, the more water is sprayed and the further it will travel, increasing the move's effectiveness. The spray of water can also be angled.	0%
Side special 	Withdraw 	Squirtle retreats into its shell and slides across the stage at high speed. If it hits a wall, it will continue sliding in the opposite direction; if it hits an opponent, it bounces out of its shell and the move ends. Throughout the move, Squirtle is immune to damage, but can have its sliding trajectory altered by knockback; if hit by a water attack, Squirtle will still not take damage but will receive knockback as if it wasn't using the move. If the move is performed with a tap input, it travels a bit further and faster, and deals a bit more damage. 	8%-13.9%
Up special 	Waterfall	Squirtle creates a wave of water and rides it upwards. The attack deals multiple hits, and is difficult to interrupt as a recovery move, as the hitbox is large, disjointed, and directly in front of Squirtle. The movement direction of the move can be slightly altered with the control stick to be more vertical or more horizontal. 	1.4% (hits 1-7), 3% (hit 8)
Down special 	Aqua Tail	Leaps forward with an arced tailslap incased in water. If it hits the opponent, it will cartwheel forward. If don't, the tail will create a small wave of water around it, pushing them away if they are close to it. 	12% (ground), 9.2% (air), 0% (water wave)
