Wartortle

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Squirtle.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wartortle is a small, bipedal, turtle-like Pokémon with a similar appearance to that of its pre-evolved form, Squirtle. Some differences are that Wartortle have developed sharper and larger claws and teeth, and that their tails are larger and fluffier than those of Squirtle's. The fur on Wartortle's tail darkens with age. Wartortle have developed large furry ears. Like its pre-evolved form, it can also use its shell to protect itself. Its shell bears the scratches of many battles.
=== Behavior ===
They use water to cloak themselves before attacking prey and swiftly swimming after them, using their ears and tails to balance themselves.
Wartortle pride themselves on scratched shells, as they show toughness in battle. Generally, it is believed that the more scratches a Wartortle gains during this stage, the stronger it will be after evolution.
===Natural Abilities===
Wartortle is naturally able to shoot water from its mouth at a greater force than its pre-evolved form Squirtle.
==Evolution==
Wartortle evolves from Squirtle starting at level 16, and evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36.

====Minor====
Wartortle first appeared in the anime series in the episode Beach Blank-Out Blastoise. During this episode, a large number of Squirtle and Wartortle, along with their leader, a Blastoise, had fallen asleep on an island and could not wake up.
==Trivia==
* In Generation II, its shiny had a fully green shell and a lighter blue skin, just like its pre-evolution Squirtle. In Ruby and Sapphire, its shiny had super light skin, being almost blueish-white in color. In Emerald, its shiny stayed the same until Generation VI, when it was changed to have a green back, dark brown chest, and dark purple skin.
===Origin===
Its design appears to be a stylized turtle. Its curved tail shape may reference the Minogame, a Japanese legend in which a turtle's tail turned into seaweed after living for ten-thousand years. It being able to store oxygen in its tail may reference how some turtle species have the ability to breath through their cloaca, which is located on a turtle's backside.
===Etymology===
Wartortle possibly comes from the words warrior, turtle, and tortoise.
===Names in other languages===
* English: Wartortle's English name comes from combining the words "war", "tortoise", and "turtle".
* Japanese: Kameil (Kamēru in Romaji), probably came from Kame (亀) which means turtle and "veil"
