In Brawl, Squirtle was tied to the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} and was considered the strongest Pokémon in its party by far. Squirtle has now been separated from its trainer and its moveset has been significantly revamped. As a result, Squirtle received a mix of buffs and nerfs. Squirtle's mobility has been improved further due to its increased speed and the introducution of various mechanics such as [[wavedashing]]. The strength of many of its attacks has also increased and the general changes to ''Project M'''s physics further improve Squirtle's combo game. Squirtle's specials moves have also been heavily revamped to make them more effective.

Squirtle's mobility has been improved further due to its increased speed and the introducution of various mechanics such as [[wavedashing]]. The strength of many of its attacks has also increased and the general changes to ''Project M'''s physics further improve Squirtle's combo game. Squirtle's specials moves have also been heavily revamped to make them more effective. Due to being a solo character, Squirtle has a new down-special move, Bubble. Bubble's hitboxes are transcendent, similar to {{PM|Falco}}'s lasers, and will trip the opponent like {{PM|Diddy Kong}}'s banana, making it a valuable tool to combat [[crouch cancel]]. In addition, using Bubble while airborne will cause Squirtle's vertical momentum to stall for a short period, making it situationally usable as a recovery tool. | ||
Another major change is the addition of the move Aqua Jet as a powerful kill option. Aqua Jet can be activated by using Squirtle's side-special move, [[Withdraw]]. If Squirtle is in contact with an opponent during the first five frames of Withdraw and the player is holding B, the initial move will be canceled with a strong hit upwards and a water particle effect, sending Squirtle into special fall. Though this move is similar to [[Rest]] in terms of usage, it is nearly identical to {{PM|Fox}}'s up-aerial in terms of damage and knockback, but sends at an angle that is five degrees shallower. | Another major change is the addition of the move Aqua Jet as a powerful kill option.
