Turtwig is one of the starting Pokémon (which also includes Chimchar and Piplup). In every ''Pokémon'' game (or at least in the main series), there is a grass type starter Pokémon. The other grass type of starter Pokémon in the series includes, and in National Pokédex order, [[Bulbasaur]], [[Chikorita]], and [[Treecko]]. Turtwigs main advantage is that it has healing moves, for example; absorb, mega drain and giga drain which are very useful.

Turtwig   [Edit]   [Talk]

Turtwig(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Grass Starter Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fourth generation games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Physiology and Behavior

The Turtwig species can be found living in forests, much like other grass Pokémon. Many of them probably live with Professor Rowan, as he gives them out to new trainers . Like most Pokémon, Turtwig can eat berries, but being a plant Pokémon, he also goes through photosynthesis.

Appearances

Main Pokémon games

Turtwig first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl as a Starter Pokémon. Other than the player being able to train one, Gardenia, one of the gym leaders, also uses one. Turtwig returned in Pokémon Platinum.

Other Pokémon games

Super Smash Bros. series

Turtwig appeared as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl along with the other starter Pokémon in the game (Piplup appeared as a Poké Ball Pokémon in addition to being a trophy). The following is Turtwig's trophy description:

Trophy descriptions

"A Tiny Leaf Pokemon. Despite its animal appearance, Turtwig actually has vegetation sprouting from its head. The shell on its back is made of soil and hardens when it drinks water. Much like a plant, Turtwig performs photosynthesis, absorbing sunlight and making oxygen. It also relies heavily on water to keep its plant healthy and thus spends a lot of time near lakes."

In the anime

Turtwig first appeared in the made for TV movie Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, which was in a way a preview for the upcoming television show. In the movie, Turtwig appeared along side the other starter Pokémon Chimchar and Piplup.

Turtwig-anime

Turtwig and Pikachu in the anime.

Turtwig is the second Pokémon that Ash catches in Sinnoh. In the episode where Ash catches him, Team Rocket kidnaps Ash's Pikachu. Soon after they escaped in their balloon, it crashed. Noticing that the Pikachu was in trouble, Turtwig defended him against the team. Once Ash arrived, Turtwig thought falsely that they were trying to capture Pikachu, so Turtwig grabbed the tired Pokémon and ran. Later on, the misunderstandings were forgiven, and at the end of the show, Turtwig joins Ash's team.

In episode 6 of Diamond and Pearl, Ash's Turtwig battled with Paul's Chimchar, but lost.

In the manga, the character Diamond has a Turtwig.

Pokémon Trading Card Game
