Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon, is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV as one of the three starter Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Known for its sturdy shell, which is said to be made of soil, Turtwig spends its days basking in the sun to perform photosynthesis. Its natural habitat includes lush forests and areas with abundant sunlight, where it can absorb energy and grow. Turtwig is primarily a herbivore, feeding on various plant life. Its calm and resilient demeanor makes it a popular choice for trainers beginning their journey in Sinnoh. As a starter Pokémon, Turtwig holds significant cultural importance, often being the first partner for many players in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. It evolves into Grotle starting at Level 18, and then into Torterra starting at Level 32. Its Grass typing gives it a natural advantage against Water, Ground, and Rock-type Pokémon, while being vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Bug, Ice, and Poison types. In the anime, Ash Ketchum catches a Turtwig early in his Sinnoh journey, showcasing its playful yet determined personality.
