Squirtle belongs to generation 1 and the starter rarity group in the official roster. Its evolution line is Squirtle → Wartortle → Blastoise. A family starts at its first stage; the list below describes that base build.
Source discrepancy: the visible roster label is Sniper, while the internal roleId is tank. We use the displayed label for guide navigation and preserve the mismatch rather than treating both as identical.
Base stats and move parameters
| Parameter | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HP | 2900 | Base family health |
| Speed | 145 | Internal movement units; not metres per second |
| Reload | 1.7 s | Base reload interval |
| Super charge | 5 hits | Base hit count parameter |
| Basic: Pistola Agua | spread · water | 1000 damage per projectile where exposed; 1 projectile(s); range 355 |
| Super: Pistola Agua | watergun · water | Flat damage: 120. Range: 380. |
Move names above are the original labels from the public file. The snapshot reports its default kit; alternate kits, evolution scaling and per-hit effects can change combat results. A missing flat damage value is left unfilled rather than estimated.
Weaknesses and resistances
The current formula softens single-type factors to 1.2, 0.85 and 0.7, multiplies against both defender types, then clamps the product to 0.65–1.35. It does not use the main-series Pokémon multipliers.

Where we would draft Squirtle
Squirtle has a spread basic attack with 355 range units and a 1.7-second reload, so its useful engagement window should be judged from those parameters rather than its rarity. Use the listed attack range to create distance before trading; base health alone does not protect a ranged pick from a close-range collapse.
electric is a particular type risk for Squirtle at 1.2× incoming damage. fire is reduced to 0.85×, but that does not guarantee a favorable duel because supers and kit choices differ.

Sources and snapshot limits
Last checked 2026-10-29. All species parameters come from one publisher: the official game. Recalculating multiple files is reproducibility, not independent confirmation. Launch roster counts differ: the same author’s itch.io listing says 490, while this roster builds 492 families / 934 dex rows. These are different published figures, not an averaged total.
