Read more ↓Tirtouga, the Prototurtle Pokémon, is a Water/Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is an ancient Pokémon, revived from the Cover Fossil, and is the pre-evolution of Carracosta. Tirtouga's appearance is reminiscent of a sea turtle, with a hard, blue-patterned shell and flippers. Its design emphasizes its prehistoric origins, making it a living fossil in the Pokémon world. Tirtouga are known to have lived in ancient seas, and their bodies are well-adapted for aquatic life. They are believed to have been powerful swimmers and deep divers, capable of withstanding immense water pressure. In the games, Tirtouga is typically obtained by reviving the Cover Fossil, often found in specific archaeological sites or through in-game events. Its evolution, Carracosta, is a formidable physical attacker. Tirtouga's role in the anime often highlights its ancient lineage and the wonder of bringing prehistoric life back to the modern world, sometimes featuring in episodes centered around fossil restoration or ancient Pokémon. Its unique dual typing gives it both strengths and weaknesses against common types, making it an interesting strategic choice.
