'''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.
REMEMBER: Nintendo's official stance is that all Pokémon, go by gender-neutral pronouns. Be sure to use "it" instead of "he" or "she".

Unlike a majority of the characters, Squirtle has five different voice actors, which depend on the region and language. The voice actors respectively are as follows:
'''Squirtle''', known as '''Zenigame''' in Japan ({{ja|ゼニガメ}}, ''Zenigame''), 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 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 {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} evolves from [[Igglybuff]], [[Lucario]] evolves from [[Riolu]], and {{SSBB|Pikachu}} evolves from [[Pichu]]. Squirtle originated from the original [[Pokémon (game)|''Pokémon'' game]] for Game Boy as one of the initial Pokémon the player can start out with at the beginning of the adventure.

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. But its light weight also makes it easier to KO, as it is tied for the second lightest character with {{SSBB|Mr. Game and 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 low range, making it also 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 speeds 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 including [[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 neutral special is [[Water Gun]], which can be used to hamper horizontal recoveries and doubles as a decent attack which can be used to impede an enemy's [[approach]]. 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, has a large, disjointed [[hitbox]], making it hard to interrupt. It can also rack up damage throughout the attack and scores multiple hits.

It can also rack up damage throughout the attack and scores multiple hits, which makes it a very useful attack. Like all of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, Squirtle can use its down special [[Pokémon Change|change]] places with the next Pokémon at the Trainer's disposal (in Squirtle's case, {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}). However, this can be punishable and is mandatory, due to the "Stamina" mechanic (outside of the [[The Subspace Emissary|Adventure Mode]]) and respawning as the next one in the cycle.

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 [[launch resistance]] 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 second strongest down throw in the game in terms of knockback, after [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas's]],), but Squirtle itself is vulnerable to grab release combos by several characters, dash regrabs by many characters, and even infinite by {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, due to its very poor air release animation.

===Ground attacks===
''For a gallery of Squirtle's hitboxes, see [[Squirtle (SSBB)/Hitboxes|here]].''
====Normal====
{{MovesetTable
*[[Dash attack]] - Squirtle runs, turns around while jumping, and hits with the back of its shell. Does around 6-10% damage. Does the most damage when it comes out. Oddly, it usually knocks foes in a 45° trajectory angle behind Squirtle. A fairly awkward move in general. Hits on frame 6-24.
|game=SSBB
*[[Neutral attack]] - Squirtle punches once, then jumps forward and slaps with the tail, then flips forward and hits with the tail again. It's a one frame jab. Does 3%, 2%, 4% a total of 9% damage. The second hit can trip foes sometimes, or simply lead into a grab.
|neutralcount=3
*[[Up tilt]] - Squirtle hops up onto its tail, thrusting upward. Very quick. Somewhat resembles R.O.B.'s up tilt, only Squirtle needs to jump to get some range. Squirtle's small body becomes the hitbox for this move. This move can lead into itself, Squirtle's up special if foe DIs right, an up smash, an up aerial or neutral aerial. Does 6% damage. Hits on frame 5-6.
|neutralname=&nbsp;
*[[Forward tilt]] - Squirtle gets on all fours and slaps forward with its tail. Also very quick (start-up of 4 frames), and can repeated in rapid succession. The move has short range, and can be angled slightly. Does 6% damage.
|neutral1dmg=3%
*[[Down tilt]] - Squirtle gets on its belly and withdraws its arms and legs, then spins forward, sweeping with its tail. Does around 9% damage, with a maximum of 13% damage possible (does multi-hits, which it helps against stale-move-negation). When Squirtle is not tired, this move can KO lighter foes at extreme percentages, around 180% damage ranges. One of the strongest down tilts. Hitbox out on frame 6.
|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.

====[[Smash attack]]s====
===Stats===
*[[Down smash]] - Squirtle withdraws into its shell and spins, shooting water out of both sides. Does 11% uncharged, 15% damage fully charged. This attack is comparatively weak and has short range - the small water burst and Squirtle's grounded spinning shell. Hits on frame 17.
{{technical data|Needs short hop and double jump heights}}
*[[Up smash]] - Squirtle jumps and slams its hands down on the ground causing geysers to rise on both sides of it, hitting a fairly large area, especially up. Does 16% uncharged, 22% damage fully charged. A powerful vertical finisher, this is Squirtle's most powerful attack, being able to KO at 66% when fully charged. Hits on frame 19 and 25.
{{Attributes
*[[Forward smash]] - Squirtle withdraws into its shell and launches forward. It can be angled up or down. Has launch resistance frames but short reach and long start-up (hits on frame 18-20) and ending lag limits its effectiveness. Does 14-19% damage.

===[[Aerial attack]]s===
===[[Wii Remote selection sound]]===
*[[Neutral aerial]] - Withdraws into shell and spins in midair, releasing water from all sides. Good duration, also a good defensive move, due to its rather short range. Does 9% damage. Start-up of 4 frames.
{{SelectSound|char=Pokémon Trainer|desc=The Trainer releases a Poké Ball and says "Go for it!".}}
*[[Up aerial]] - Flips upward, using tail to knock opponents vertically. Somewhat weak, has a hard time KOing foes with good DI. Does 11% damage. Hits on frame 6.
*[[Down aerial]] - 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 horizontal knockback. Last hit has decent knockback. Does 10% damage if all hits connect. Start-up of 6 frames.
*[[Forward aerial]] - Thrusts both legs forward, hitting quickly. Fairly long duration, high knockback. Can KO off the stage at higher damage percentages. Great for gimping. Does 6% damage if it connects after the first frame and 12% damage if it connects in the first frame. Hits from frame 5 to 14.
*[[Back aerial]] - Thrusts its tail backward, hitting quickly. Fairly long duration, decent knockback. Both its forward and back aerials have [[sex kick]] properties. Also good for gimping and/or edgeguarding. Does 6% damage if it connects after the first frame and 10% damage if it connects in the first frame. Hitbox out on frame 5 and it ends on frame 14, like is fair.


===[[Grab]]s and [[throw]]s===

In Classic Mode, Pokémon Trainer can appear as an opponent or ally in Stage 3 along with {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, and {{SSBB|Lucario}} on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or [[Spear Pillar]] (with the latter available if it has been unlocked). Pokémon Trainer can also appear as an opponent in Stage 11, but only if he hasn't appeared in Stage 3.
===Description===
 
''A Tiny Turtle Pokémon. In times of danger, it pulls its arms and legs inside its shell to protect itself from enemy attacks. When it conceals its neck, it also shoots a powerful stream of water from its mouth. Its shell not only protects its body, it also reduces water friction when it's in the water. When it levels up, it evolves into Wartortle.''
===[[All-Star Mode]]===
{{Trophy games|console1=GB|game1=Pokémon Red/Blue|console2=GBA|game2=Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen}}

Squirtle (SSBB)

Squirtle (ゼニガメ, 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 Pokémon Trainer, the other two being Ivysaur and 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.

Unlike a majority of the characters, Squirtle has five different voice actors, which depend on the region and language. The voice actors respectively are as follows:

  • In English: Michele Knotz
  • In French: Virginie Demians
  • In German: Unknown
  • In Japanese: Rikako Aikawa
  • In Korean: Shin Yong-woo

Attributes[edit]

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 Mr. Game & Watch. Squirtle's small size (the smallest in the game along with 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 Donkey Kong or 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 speeds 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 shellshift, giving much more versatility to its otherwise mediocre ground game.

Squirtle's neutral special is Water Gun, which can be used to hamper horizontal recoveries and doubles as a decent attack which can be used to impede an enemy's approach. 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, has a large, disjointed hitbox, making it hard to interrupt. It can also rack up damage throughout the attack and scores multiple hits, which makes it a very useful attack. Like all of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, Squirtle can use its down special change places with the next Pokémon 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 Adventure Mode) and respawning as the next one in the cycle.

Squirtle's 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 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 second strongest down throw in the game in terms of knockback, after Lucas's), but Squirtle itself is vulnerable to grab release combos by several characters, dash regrabs by many characters, and even infinite by Zero Suit Samus, due to its very poor air release animation.

Moveset[edit]

For a gallery of Squirtle's hitboxes, see here.

  Name Damage Description
Neutral attack   3% 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 tripping opponents. Both the first and second hits have set knockback and are good tools to lock opponents.
2%
4%
Forward tilt   6% 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.
Up tilt   6% Squirtle hops up onto its tail, headbutting upwards. Very quick and can lead into other moves at low percentages including itself and up aerial.
Down tilt   2% (hits 1-4), 5% (hit 5) 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.
Dash attack   9% (clean), 7% (late) Squirtle runs, turns around while jumping, and hits with the back of its shell. Knocks opponents behind Squirtle if hitbox connects.
Forward smash   14% Squirtle withdraws into its shell and launches forward. Has armor the entire time Squirtle is inside its shell. Can be angled.
Up smash   3% (hit 1), 13% (clean sweetspot), 11% (clean sourspot), 9% (mid), 7% (mid late), 5% (late) 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.
Down smash   11% 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.
Neutral aerial   9% (clean), 6% (late) Squirtle withdraws into its shell and spins in midair, releasing water from all sides. A good defensive move for spacing.
Forward aerial   12% (clean), 6% (late) 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.
Back aerial   10% (clean), 6% (late) 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.
Up aerial   11% 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.
Down aerial   1% (hits 1-5), 5% (hit 6) Squirtle thrusts its tail downward, spinning around in a multi-hit attack. Similar to 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.
Grab   —  
Pummel   2% Headbutts the grabbed opponent. Relatively fast. Can grab release into a jab on most characters due to Squirtle having a frame 1 jab.
Forward throw   2% (hit 1), 7% (throw) Puts its opponent in front of itself, and then kicks them. Can potentially chain grab at extremely low percents.
Back throw   5% (hit 1), 5% (throw) Puts its opponent behind itself, and then kicks their back. Hard to follow up due to its high knockback.
Up throw   2% (hit 1), 9% (throw) Throws its opponent upward and tackles them while in its shell. Has moderate KO power.
Down throw   2% (hit 1), 5% (throw) 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 Lucas'.

Neutral special Water Gun 1-2% (water uncharged) (14% maximum damage) Squirtle shoots out water similar to 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.
Side special Withdraw 3% (startup), 6-8% (slide) 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.
Up special Waterfall 2% (hits 1-3), 1% (hits 4-9), 3% (hit 10) 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.
Down special Pokémon Change 0% The Pokémon Trainer calls Squirtle back by throwing a Poké Ball and then sends out Ivysaur.
Final Smash Triple Finish 1% (Hydro Pump) The Pokémon Trainer sends out both Charizard and Ivysaur and all three Pokémon perform a combination attack.

Role in The Subspace Emissary[edit]

Pokémon Trainer commanding Squirtle in SSE.
Main article: Pokémon Trainer

When introduced, Pokémon Trainer's only Pokémon is Squirtle, and thus, it is his main Pokémon for much of the story until Ivysaur and Charizard are later found in the ruins. Despite this, Squirtle only appears in the very first cutscene Pokémon Trainer is introduced in. Stamina doesn't apply in Adventure Mode as it does in normal play.

Stickers[edit]

All three of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon share the same trophy base.

If the player wishes to power up Squirtle specifically, [Tail] and [Water] will supply the greatest power boosts. The remaining relevant attacks are spread between [Body]/[Spin], [Leg] and [Head].

If the player wishes to balance between the three, the major attacks Squirtle shares with Charizard are [Tail] and [Body] attacks, and shares [Leg] and [Spin] attacks with Ivysaur.

In Solo Modes[edit]

Classic Mode[edit]

In Classic Mode, Pokémon Trainer can appear as an opponent or ally in Stage 3 along with Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Lucario on Pokémon Stadium 2 or Spear Pillar (with the latter available if it has been unlocked). Pokémon Trainer can also appear as an opponent in Stage 11, but only if he hasn't appeared in Stage 3.

All-Star Mode[edit]

In All-Star Mode, Pokémon Trainer is fought in Stage 18 alongside Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Lucario on Pokémon Stadium 2 or Spear Pillar (with the latter available if it has been unlocked). Uniquely, the player must KO Pokémon Trainer three times to progress.

Event Matches[edit]

Note: Squirtle is only featured in one event that does not include the Pokémon Trainer.
