'''Squirtle''' ({{ja|ゼニガメ|Zenigame}}, ''Zenigame'') is | '''Squirtle''' ({{ja|ゼニガメ|Zenigame}}, ''Zenigame'') is a fictional creature from the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' series. It debuted in the series' [[bulbapedia:Generation I|first generation]] as {{s|bulbapedia|Kanto}}'s first stage [[bulbapedia:Water (type)|Water-type]] {{s|bulbapedia|starter Pokémon}}, and represents that generation as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' (via [[Pokémon Trainer]]). | ||

Squirtle is also one of the {{s|bulbapedia|Kanto}} region's three {{s|bulbapedia|starter Pokémon}}. However, unlike in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'', ''Green'']], and [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|''Blue Versions'']], Squirtle is obtainable alongside its fellow Kanto starters {{s|bulbapedia|Bulbasaur}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Charmander}} under special conditions in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Yellow Version|''Pokémon Yellow Version'']], and relatively early on in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y Versions|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']]. It evolves into {{s|bulbapedia|Wartortle}} at level 16 onward, and into [[Blastoise]] at level 36 onward. | ||
When a Squirtle hatches, its shell is soft, but forms and hardens over time until it becomes resilient enough that prodding fingers will bounce off it. When threatened, Squirtle withdraws into its shell and squirts out water with vigorous force. In addition to its defensive potential, Squirtle's shell has a rounded shape with grooves on its surface, which help minimize resistance in water and enable it to swim at high speeds. To hunt, it shoots water at its prey while underwater. | When a Squirtle hatches, its shell is soft, but forms and hardens over time until it becomes resilient enough that prodding fingers will bounce off it.

Squirtle makes a very brief cameo appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''{{'}}s introduction sequence. A giant balloon of Squirtle is also one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that are seen throughout [[Poké Floats]]. It is the first balloon in the stage and its head and arms are where the four fighters start off on at the beginning of the match. | |||

Squirtle features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the [[Trophy Lottery]] and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows: | |||

Squirtle was previously considered the strongest party member of the Pokémon Trainer's team in Brawl, due to a combination of its quick mobility overall, fast attacks, and excellent aerial game, which made it a potentially viable contender in competitive play. Possibly as a result, Squirtle has received a mix of buffs and nerfs, but was nerfed overall. Unlike the other party Pokémon, Squirtle's moveset has been reworked into newer, different attacks, with many of its standard attacks being altered. | Squirtle was previously considered the strongest party member of the Pokémon Trainer's team in Brawl, due to a combination of its quick mobility overall, fast attacks, and excellent aerial game, which made it a potentially viable contender in competitive play.
