'''Squirtle''' ({{ja|ゼニガメ|Zenigame}}, ''Zenigame'') is the Tiny Turtle Pokémon 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 is present as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' (via [[Pokémon Trainer]]).

Squirtle is a small, blue, bipedal turtle-like creature, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #007 as the "Tiny Turtle Pokémon". Squirtle is the {{s|bulbapedia|Kanto}} region's Water-type {{s|bulbapedia|starter Pokémon}}. However, unlike in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'', ''Green'']], and [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|''Blue'']], Squirtle is obtainable alongside its fellow Kanto starters {{s|bulbapedia|Bulbasaur}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Charmander}} under special conditions in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Yellow Version}}'', and relatively early on in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''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.

Squirtle appears as a playable character ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It is one of {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s three Pokémon, alongside {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and {{SSBB|Charizard}}. Squirtle can be switched into or out of battle via [[Pokémon Change]], which operates similarly to [[Transform]]. Squirtle has three other special moves as well. [[Water Gun]] is a chargeable projectile that pushes opponents away, akin to [[F.L.U.D.D]]. [[Withdraw]] has Squirtle retreat into its shell, giving it super armor in the process, and charge forward. [[Waterfall]] is its recovery move. It performs [[Hydro Pump]] as part of [[Triple Finish]], the Final Smash of Pokémon Trainer.
 
According to Masahiro Sakurai, Squirtle wasn't originally chosen to be part of the Pokémon Trainer's team, as he had considered adding [[Blastoise]] to the game as a playable character and as part of the Pokémon Trainer's team of Pokémon (alongside Charizard and Ivysaur), but Squirtle was chosen instead after some reconsideration as Sakurai thought that having balance with the sizes and stages of evolution would be more appealing.<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/</ref>

Squirtle returns as a playable character as part of {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, alongside {{SSBU|Ivysaur}} and {{SSBU|Charizard}}, in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Like Ivysaur and Charizard, it is no longer subject to [[Pokémon Change#Stamina|stamina]], and thus remains effective throughout a fight. Unlike ''Brawl'', Pokémon Trainer is an unlockable character instead of a starter character.
