#007 Squirtle
	Pokédex Info Type 1: Water Type 2: - Height: 1' 08" Weight: 20.0 lb Shoots water at prey while in the water. Withdraws into its shell when in danger. Catch it in:
Evolved from: -	Evolves into: Wartortle (at level 16)
Locations: Squirtle is one of the three starting Pokemon choices in Red/Blue. You can also win one in Pokemon Stadium's Gym Leader Castle. In Pokemon Yellow, you can get a free Squirtle in Vermilion City. There are no wild Squirtles in the three games.
This Pokémon naturally learns the following techniques: LV 01 - Tackle LV 01 - Tail Whip LV 08 - Bubble LV 15 - Water Gun LV 22 - Bite LV 28 - Withdraw LV 35 - Skull Bash LV 42 - Hydro Pump
Tips: Squirtle is hands-down the best starting Pokemon in Blue/Red, mainly because of the abundance of Ground Pokemon in the games. Its Attack stats are on-par with Bulbasaur and with the exception of Speed, it beats out its Fire and Grass/Poison counterparts on all counts. It learns its last, and most powerful technique at level 42, so it's a good idea to wait with evolving it into Wartortle until the last possible moment. Use Squirtle against Fire, Ground and Rock opponents for best effect, but it can even hold its own against Ice types as well (at least on the defensive side of things). Teaching it HM 03 - Surf is a no-brainer, but you might also want to consider adding non-Water moves like Blizzard and Dig to give it a wider range. In emergencies, Dig could help Squirtle get at least one hit in on an opposing Electric type. Squirtle doesn't last long in a battle against Thunder or Grass Pokemon. Thunder or any other similar Electric attacks usually knock it out in one go.
This Pokémon can learn the following HMs and TMs: TM 01 - Mega Punch TM 05 - Mega Kick TM 06 - Toxic TM 08 - Body Slam TM 09 - Take Down TM 10 - Double Edge TM 11 - Bubble Beam TM 12 - Water Gun TM 13 - Ice Beam TM 14 - Blizzard TM 17 - Submission TM 18 - Counter TM 19 - Seismic Toss TM 20 - Rage TM 28 - Dig TM 31 - Mimic TM 32 - Double Team TM 33 - Reflect TM 34 - Bide TM 40 - Skull Bash TM 44 - Rest TM 50 - Substitute HM 03 - Surf HM 04 - Strength

Origin: What do you get when you combine the words "squirt" (as in "squirting water") with turtle? Well, Squirtle, of course.
