'''Squirtle''' ({{ja|ゼニガメ|Zenigame}}, ''Zenigame''), stylized as '''SQUIRTLE''' in Europe, is a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in a sense; it is one of three Pokémon that are played through {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, the other two being {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and {{SSBB|Charizard}}. Squirtle originated from the original ''Pokémon'' games for Game Boy as one of the initial Pokémon the player can start out with at the beginning of the adventure.

Squirtle is the only character who Pokémon Trainer uses who is not an evolved form. Charizard and Ivysaur are evolved forms of Charmeleon and [[Bulbasaur]], respectively. Squirtle is also the only playable Pokémon character in ''Brawl'' that doesn't have a pre-evolved form at all, as the other playable Pokémon have baby forms. [[Lucario]] evolves from [[Riolu]]. [[Jigglypuff]] evolves from [[Igglybuff]], and [[Pikachu]] evolves from [[Pichu]]. Squirtle originated from the original [[Pokémon (game)|''Pokémon'' game]] for [[Game Boy]] as one of the initial monsters the player can start out with at the beginning of the adventure. When Squirtle is hit and is on the floor, it will go in its shell.

Squirtle is the most lightweight of the three Pokémon at Pokémon Trainer's disposal. Its light weight allows Squirtle to have fast air speed and fast attacks, which makes up for its somewhat slow dash speed. However, its light weight makes it easier to KO, as it is tied for the second lightest character in the game with {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}. Squirtle's small size (the smallest in the game along with {{SSBB|Olimar}}) makes it difficult to hit, but it also causes most attacks to have poor [[reach]], causing it to have very poor matchups against superior ranged characters or with disjointed attacks like {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} or {{SSBB|Marth}}. Possibly Squirtle's greatest strength is its excellent air game. Its aerials are quick and decently powerful, inflicting good amounts of damage; it also has one of the fastest [[air speed]]s and a quick and high jump. Squirtle is one of few fighters that can [[wall cling]] and [[crawl]] (the 2nd lowest crawl in the game, which can duck under many attacks such as [[Blaster]] and [[Wizard's Foot]]). Its unique dash pivot also allows it to [[shellshifting|shellshift]], giving much more versatility to its otherwise mediocre ground game.

Squirtle's small size (the smallest in the game along with [[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]]) makes it difficult to hit, but it also causes most attacks to have low range, making also him have very poor matchups against superior ranged characters or with disjointed attacks like [[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]] or [[Marth (SSBB)|Marth]]. Squirtle's excellent airspeed and quick attacks give it an excellent air game. Aerials have good priority and huge [[knockback]]. Unlike most of Squirtle's attacks, his aerials inflict good amounts of damage. These aerials along with a high and quick jump give Squirtle a great air game. Squirtle is one of few fighters that can [[crawl]] (the 2nd lowest crawl in the game, which can duck under many attacks including [[Blaster]] and [[Wizard's Foot]]) and "[[Wall Cling]]". Squirtle's neutral special is [[Water Gun]], which can be used to hamper horizontal recoveries and doubles as an attack. It can also [[DI]] during the charge in midair. Its side special, [[Withdraw]], increases Squirtle's ground speed and offers protection against most attacks, other than grabs. However, speed and direction of Withdraw can be changed if hit with a strong attack, possibly causing Squirtle to slide off the edge, KOing itself if it goes off too far. [[Waterfall]], Squirtle's [[Up Special Move]], has a large, disjointed [[hitbox]], making it hard to interrupt. It can also rack up damage throughout the attack and scores multiple hits. Like all of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, Squirtle can [[Pokémon Change|change]] places with the next monster at the Trainer's disposal (in Squirtle's case, Ivysaur). However, this can be punishable and is mandatory, due to the "Stamina Mechanic" (outside of the [[Subspace Emissary|Adventure Mode]]) and coming back as the next one in the cycle. Its up smash has a large area and can KO at 80-100%. Its down-aerial does multiple hits and has high horizontal [[knockback]] on the last hit, but it also has short range, little damage, and massive ending lag. Its forward-Smash has "[[Super Armor]]" during the frames Squirtle is in its shell. However, like its down smash, it does little damage, has massive ending lag, and covers a short distance. Squirtle has decent throws (including the strongest down throw in the game in terms of knockback), but Squirtle itself is vulnerable to grab release combos by several characters, dash regrabs by many characters, and even infinite by [[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]] due to its very poor air release animation.

==Moveset==
''For a gallery of Squirtle's hitboxes, see [[Squirtle (SSBB)/Hitboxes|here]].''
{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBB
|neutralcount=3
|neutralname=&nbsp;
|neutral1dmg=3%
|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutral3dmg=4%
|neutraldesc=Squirtle punches once, thrust both its legs forward, and then flips forward and hits with its tail. The first hit has decent range and comes out on frame 1 making it a strong tool to stuff out approaches. The second and third hits can be shielded but the second hit is capable of [[trip]]ping opponents. Both the first and second hits have set knockback and are good tools to [[lock]] opponents.
|ftiltname=&nbsp;
|ftiltdmg=6%
|ftiltdesc=Squirtle gets on all fours and slaps forward with its tail. Has quick startup coming out on frame 4 and has low ending lag making it a decent spacing tool on the ground. Can be angled.
|utiltname=&nbsp;
|utiltdmg=6%
|utiltdesc=Squirtle hops up onto its tail, headbutting upwards. Very quick and can lead into other moves at low percentages including itself and up aerial.
|dtiltname=&nbsp;
|dtiltdmg=2% (hits 1-4), 5% (hit 5)
|dtiltdesc=Squirtle gets on its belly and withdraws its limbs, then spins forward, sweeping with its tail. It is Squirtle's slowest tilt and it is a multi-hit move which is fairly unreliable although it is Squirtle's most damaging tilt if all hits connect.
|dashname=&nbsp;
|dashdmg=9% (clean), 7% (late)
|dashdesc=Squirtle runs, turns around while jumping, and hits with the back of its shell. Knocks opponents behind Squirtle if hitbox connects.
|fsmashname=&nbsp;
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|14}}
|fsmashdesc=Squirtle withdraws into its shell and launches forward. Has [[armor]] the entire time Squirtle is inside its shell. Can be angled.
|usmashname=&nbsp;
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|3}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|13}} (clean sweetspot), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|11}} (clean sourspot), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|9}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|7}} (mid late), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|5}} (late)
|usmashdesc=Slams hands onto the ground, sending twin geysers into the air. A powerful vertical finisher, being Squirtle's most powerful attack and when combined with [[shellshifting]], it can be a very powerful approach option.
|dsmashname=&nbsp;
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|11}}
|dsmashdesc=Squirtle withdraws into its shell and spins, shooting water out of both sides. This attack overall deals small damage and has short range but it is Squirtle's fastest smash attack and has a decently long duration.
|nairname=&nbsp;
|nairdmg=9% (clean), 6% (late)
|nairdesc=Squirtle withdraws into its shell and spins in midair, releasing water from all sides. A good defensive move for [[spacing]].
|fairname=&nbsp;
|fairdmg=12% (clean), 6% (late)
|fairdesc=Squirtle thrusts both its legs forward, hitting quickly. Has fast startup coming out on frame 5 and a good [[edgeguarding]] move. It is a fairly powerful aerial with decent KO potential. Has [[sex kick]] properties.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg=10% (clean), 6% (late)
|bairdesc=Squirtle thrusts its tail backward, hitting opponents behind itself. Good for both [[gimping]] and [[edgeguarding]]. It is weaker than forward aerial but it lingers for longer and it has less ending and landing lag. Has [[sex kick]] properties.
|uairname=&nbsp;
|uairdmg=11%
|uairdesc=Squirtle flips upward, using its tail to knock opponents vertically. Somewhat weak, having a hard time KOing foes with good DI and it has high landing lag although it is a very strong juggling tool with a decent damage output, decent range and low ending lag being Squirtle's fastest aerial in terms of ending lag by a large margin.
|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg=1% (hits 1-5), 5% (hit 6)
|dairdesc=Squirtle thrusts its tail downward, spinning around in a multi-hit attack. Similar to {{SSBB|Mario}}'s [[Mario Tornado]], but with more vertical range due to the tail and the last hit inflicts decent horizontal knockback. It cannot [[auto-cancel]] out of a short hop and has a somewhat high amount of landing lag.
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabdesc=&nbsp;
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=2%
|pummeldesc=Headbutts the grabbed opponent. Relatively fast. Can [[grab release]] into a jab on most characters due to Squirtle having a frame 1 jab.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 7% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=Puts its opponent in front of itself, and then kicks them. Can potentially [[chain grab]] at extremely low percents.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;
|bthrowdmg=5% (hit 1), 5% (throw)
|bthrowdesc=Puts its opponent behind itself, and then kicks their back. Hard to follow up due to its high knockback.
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 9% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=Throws its opponent upward and tackles them while in its shell. Has moderate KO power.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 5% (throw)
|dthrowdesc=Throws its opponent on the ground and slams on top of them. It is Squirtle's strongest throw in terms of knockback being able to KO around 150% at center stage. It is the second strongest down throw in the game behind {{SSBB|Lucas}}'.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=6%
|floorfdesc=Flips with its tail forwards and then backwards.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=6%
|floorbdesc=Flips with its tail forwards and then backwards.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Gets up and flips its tail forwards and then backwards.
|edgefname=&nbsp;
|edgefdmg=8% (tail), 6% (body)
|edgefdesc=Gets up and whips its tail forward.
|edgesname=&nbsp;
|edgesdmg=10%
|edgesdesc=Slowly gets up and headbutts forward.
|nsname=Water Gun
|nsdmg=1-2% (water uncharged) (14% maximum damage)
|nsdesc=Squirtle shoots out water similar to {{SSBB|Mario}}'s [[F.L.U.D.D]]. The move can charged to spray more water out with more range but does not deal any damage and only pushes opponents. If the [[B button]] is pressed with no charge, Squirtle shoots out a short-ranged attack that can deal up to 14% damage to opponents who are close by.
|ssname=Withdraw
|ssdmg=3% (startup), 6-8% (slide)
|ssdesc=Squirtle retreats inside its shell and speeds across the stage, powered by a jet of water shooting out the back of its shell. Throughout the entire move, Squirtle is immune to both damage and knockback. The speed of the move can be altered by smashing the [[control stick]].
|usname=Waterfall
|usdmg=2% (hits 1-3), 1% (hits 4-9), 3% (hit 10)
|usdesc= A torrent of water appears that Squirtle "surfs" on top of it. The attack does multiple hits with minor knockback towards the end. It 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 attack can be slightly altered with the control stick to be more vertical or more horizontal although it does not cover a very large distance.
|dsname=Pokémon Change
|dsdmg=0%
|dsdesc=The {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} calls Squirtle back by throwing a Poké Ball and then sends out {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}.
|fsname=Triple Finish
|fsdmg=1% (Hydro Pump)
|fsdesc=The {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} sends out both {{SSBB|Charizard}} and {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and all three Pokémon perform a combination attack.
