Summary
Turtwig is a Grass-type Pokémon that first made its debut in Generation IV of the Pokémon series. As the Grass-type starter Pokémon for the Sinnoh region, Turtwig evolves into Grotle at level 18, followed by a transformation into Torterra at level 32.
Type: Grass
Abilities:
- Overgrow: Empowers Turtwig's Grass-type moves by increasing their power by 50% when its HP falls below one-third of its maximum.
- Hidden Ability (Shell Armor): This ability safeguards Turtwig from receiving critical hits.
Interesting Facts:
- Turtwig is known for the small twig that sprouts from its head, underscoring its Grass-type identity. This twig matures into a small tree as it evolves into Grotle and ultimately, Torterra.
- The design inspiration for Turtwig and its subsequent evolutions appear to originate from the idea of turtles integrated with elements of nature. Turtwig bears a particular resemblance to a turtle nurturing a growing plant.
