It is the evolved form of Turtwig and evolves into Torterra, completing a powerful and iconic Grass-type starter evolution line. Grotle is known for its sturdy shell, which is covered with a thick bush-like growth, resembling a small forest. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its connection to water, stating that it knows where pure water wells up and carries smaller Pokémon on its back, creating a mobile ecosystem. This behavior underscores its role as a nurturing and protective force in its natural habitat, which typically consists of lush forests and clearings. In the games, Grotle serves as a reliable mid-stage evolution, offering a balance of offense and defense before evolving into the formidable Torterra. In the anime, Ash's Turtwig evolves into Grotle, showcasing its growth and development as a loyal companion. Its unique design and ecological role have made it a beloved Pokémon, symbolizing the beauty and resilience of nature within the Pokémon world. Its evolution into Torterra, a Pokémon with an entire ecosystem on its back, further solidifies its cultural significance as a living embodiment of the natural world.
