Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Squirtle — Overall Evaluation D	31	Joined Roy with Water Gun, Tail Whip, Withdraw, Bite, Rapid Spin, Icy Wind, and Ice Punch; its Water- and Ice-type aptitude was considered exceptional for a starter Pokémon. 31
Evolution-ready Squirtle	59	Its attributes had reached the evolutionary standard, but it needed practical battle experience; Roy assigned it to fight wild Pokémon during the Changbai Mountain survival exam. 59
Wartortle — Overall Evaluation B	62	Evolved independently after its wilderness battles. It gained Whirlpool and Salt Water, while its evaluation rose from B- to B. 62

Overlord State	118	Successfully entered the Overlord State after ten days of training under Mimikyu's bestowed Overlord aura. 118

Background / History

Principal Fang gave Squirtle to Roy as a top-tier starter Pokémon with outstanding appearance and aptitude. Fang warned that it was not disobedient, but interpreted instructions in unusual ways—once microwaving a student's frozen ID rather than simply delivering it for unfreezing. Roy accepted responsibility for it despite this reputation. 31

Squirtle quickly became friendly with Roy's first Pokémon, Riolu, greeting it with a respectful salute. Roy identified its strengths as Water- and Ice-type energy control, endurance, and ranged firepower rather than physical offense, then supplied it with customized Energy Cubes, Unmelting Ice, and a Mysterious Water Droplet. 32 36 37

Its initial extreme training schedule exhausted and demoralized it. Roy adjusted course by arranging a battle against Lin Shixian's Bulbasaur, where Squirtle won despite its type disadvantage. The victory restored its confidence and gave it a lasting enthusiasm for battle and training. 39 41

During the Changbai Mountain survival examination, Roy deliberately gave Squirtle repeated battles against wild Pokémon to gain the experience needed for evolution. Squirtle subsequently evolved into Wartortle on its own. 59 62

It later mastered Aura Power with Roy's direct assistance, evolved secretly into Blastoise, and assumed responsibility for the team's backline. In the Spirit Realm, Blastoise briefly became the “King of Turtles” by leading a tribe of Squirtle and Blastoise before abdicating less than an hour later. 79 114 169 170

Appearance

As a Squirtle, it has light-blue skin, a brown-backed shell with a light-yellow underside, round sparkling eyes, and noticeably chubby proportions compared with its peers. 32

• Round head, shell, eyes, and short hands, giving it a particularly endearing and goofy appearance. 32 35
• Frequently wears black sunglasses, which became central to its online “gangster turtle” image. 35 41
• As Wartortle, it developed an indigo body, fluffy ear-like wings, and visible fangs; it retained its unusually round features. 62
• As Blastoise, its defense increased substantially following evolution. 114

Personality

Squirtle is obedient, earnest, and unusually literal-minded, but its thought process often leads to absurd conclusions. It is curious about Roy's System items, repeatedly reaches into Roy's pockets to investigate them, and once attempted to use its water spray to wash Roy's face. 31 37

It strongly desires attention and recognition. Roy successfully motivated it to pose for memes by promising fame and a possible chance to meet a beautiful Milotic; Squirtle eagerly committed to the plan and became highly motivated whenever it had an opportunity to show off. 35 72

Although it can become overwhelmed by excessive pressure, praise and visible results motivate it intensely. After defeating Bulbasaur, it proudly put on its sunglasses and embraced further training. 39 41

Squirtle is also welcoming toward teammates. It entertained the newborn Vulpix with exaggerated expressions, invited Electabuzz to train at Sheng Hai University, and later shared its food with the withdrawn Mimikyu. 46 73 118

Abilities & Skills

Water- and Ice-type Energy Control

Squirtle specializes in ranged energy attacks, with particular affinity for both Water- and Ice-type energy. Its physical Ice Punch was initially much weaker than its ranged moves. 31 37

• Water Gun — Its strongest measured early move, rated D+ in power; it can also use water pressure for aerial movement and evasive maneuvers. 37 51
• Icy Wind — Learned independently before joining Roy. It froze Bulbasaur's Magic Leaf and was used repeatedly to suppress foes and alter terrain. 31 40 41
• Water Pulse — Used to flood and freeze the battlefield against Bulbasaur, then later trained to Master Level—the first of Roy's Pokémon to achieve Master proficiency in a move. 41 79
• Rapid Spin — Allows it to move quickly across wet or snow-covered ground while sheltered inside its shell. 41 52
• Whirlpool and Salt Water — Acquired upon evolving into Wartortle. 62

Aura Power

Although Latias judged its mental-power aptitude as only average, Squirtle improved its Inner Focus through the Infinite Meditate method and learned several unspecified Psychic-type moves, improving its battle reactions. 44 47

• Roy's transferred Aura allowed it to generate Aura Power independently. 79
• It can create an unstable Aura Sphere. 79
• Its Aura development supports Roy's planned Aura-centered team battle system. 47 79

Defensive Combat

Squirtle's natural physical speed is poor, but it compensates with durability, improved reactions, terrain movement, and defensive techniques. 41 52

• Protect — Blocked Rhyhorn's Thunderbolt during Roy's school-team challenge. 52
• Torrent state — Awakened after evolving into Blastoise, increasing its combat potential in desperate situations. 114
• Iron Defense and Light Screen — Part of its later Master-level training regimen. 118
• Overlord State — Greatly boosts its statistics after it successfully entered the state. 118

Equipment / Items

• Unmelting Ice — Enhances its Ice-type affinity and control. 36
• Mysterious Water Droplet — Enhances its Water-type affinity and control. 36
• Customized Energy Cubes — Improve Water- and Ice-type affinity and stamina recovery through long-term consumption. 32
• Black sunglasses — Its preferred accessory and signature prop for posing after victories. 35 41

Relationships

• Roy — Trainer. Roy accepted Squirtle despite its unusual behavior, developed its Water/Ice artillery training, helped it master Aura Power, and supported its evolutions. 31 36 79 114
• Riolu / Lucario — Senior teammate and frequent training partner. Squirtle saluted Riolu upon joining the team; repeated losses to Riolu initially damaged its confidence, but later they fought together and shared food with Mimikyu. 32 39 118
• Alolan Vulpix / Ninetales — Teammate. Squirtle entertained Vulpix after her birth, and Vulpix's Snow Warning and Grudge later created favorable icy conditions for Squirtle against Rhyhorn. 46 52
• Electabuzz / Electivire — Training companion. Squirtle welcomed Electabuzz and invited it to train with the team at Sheng Hai University. 73
• Mimikyu — Teammate. Blastoise shared its food with Mimikyu after receiving the Overlord State, helping the latter feel accepted by the group. 118
• Principal Fang — Former caretaker who entrusted Squirtle to Roy and explained its unconventional behavior. 31
• Lin Qing — Temporarily partnered with Squirtle during the Illuminati incident because the local wild Pokémon recognized its strength. 63

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Meme popularity project — Roy used Squirtle's round appearance, exaggerated expressions, and sunglasses to create memes that spread across Weibo and generated steady Popularity. 35 37 56
• Battle against Bulbasaur — Defeated Lin Shixian's Bulbasaur through sustained Icy Wind pressure, Water Pulse terrain manipulation, Rapid Spin movement, and a finishing Icy Wind. 40 41
• School-team challenge — Entered Roy's battle against Zhuo Feng after Vulpix was recalled, evaded Rhyhorn's attacks, exploited the hail field, and forced mutual destruction with Rhyhorn. 51 52
• Changbai Mountain survival exam — Fought wild Pokémon to prepare for evolution, helped Roy's group survive the snowfield, and later accompanied Lin Qing to secure cooperation from the wild Pokémon. 58 59 63
• University team battles — Protected allies against Fire-type opponents and coordinated with Lucario by striking from concealment with Water Pulse. 111 112
• Spirit Realm turtle kingdom — As Blastoise, gathered a Squirtle and Blastoise tribe and planned to conquer the Spirit Realm with Lucario before relinquishing its throne. 169 170
