Name: ナエトル; Naetoru

Name: Turtwig

Turtwig (Japanese: ナエトル, Hepburn: Naetoru) (TUR-twig^[1]) is the Grass-type First partner Pokémon of the Sinnoh region.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Turtwig is a Pokémon and appears to be a green-ish Pokémon with a small twig on its head. On the twig are two green leaves. It has large yellow eyes and its face is oddly shaped. On the bottom of the face there is a yellow mouth in an obtuse shape. Also on its face it has two tiny nostrils. It has four small stubby feet, so it can't move as fast, and on the bottom of its feet are an obtuse area of yellow towards the bottom of the feet. It also has a shell, which is similar to silt and feels damp and warm when touched, on its back. The shell is brown with black line on the bottom and a few stripes, and a tiny tail on its behind.

Behavior[]

Turtwig are docile but somehow over-affectionate, as one sometimes might bite its trainer's head as a way to express its love. Any Turtwig can be both insensitive and bashful or outgoing and protective.

If a Turtwig doesn't drink enough water, the leaf on its head withers, thus it must live by the riverside. The more sunlight it receives, the more energetic it is. A healthy Turtwig always has a moist shell, especially when it lives near sources of clean water.

Turtwig can be found at the rivers near dense forests. They originally roamed the Sinnoh region in the wild, though over time, they have become a rare sight.

Natural abilities[]

Turtwig can undertake photosynthesis with its body to make oxygen.

Evolution[]

Turtwig evolves into a Grotle starting at level 18, which later evolves into a Torterra starting at level 32.

Trivia[]

Like Bulbasaur and Chikorita, Turtwig can walk on all fours, making it the third Grass starter to be a quadruped.
Turtwig is the heaviest of the basic forms of all of the starters.
Turtwig, along with Totodile, are the only starters who evolve at level 18. This is also the highest level a First partner Pokémon evolves.
Turtwig is the only First partner Pokémon that knows a move that is neither Normal type nor its primary type when given to the player.
Turtwig is the only Grass-type starter to learn a Water-type move via level up.
In the English-language beta version of Diamond and Pearl, its name was Sproutle.

Origin[]

Turtwig is based on a baby turtle and may be a play on the Asian leaf turtle species.
