Squirtle (ゼニガメ Zenigame) is a starter Pokémon of the Pokémon series and appears as a veteran in Super Smash Bros. Endless Dreams.

Attributes

Squirtle is the smallest and lightest Pokémon, with it being tied with Mr. Game & Watch for the 3rd-lightest character in the game. Squirtle's small size makes it a hard target to hit, but also gives its attacks (with the exception of its smash attacks) poor range. Squirtle has decent mobility overall, with average dashing and air speeds, a fast walking speed, very high air acceleration (the eighth highest), high gravity and high jump height, but a below-average falling speed and low traction.

Moveset

Ground Attacks

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Jab		Punch/Kick/Tail Strike	Punches, then kicks, then swings its tail forwards. The first hit comes out very quickly, making it a strong tool to interrupt approaches. The combo generally links very reliably.	N/A	2%, 1.5%, 4%
Dash Attack		Water Screw	Leaps forward and does a dropkick. Weak, but has low ending lag, so it's useful for combos.	N/A	8% (clean), 7% (late)
Ledge Attack		N/A	Climbs up and swings its tail forward. It is the slowest edge attack in the game by a significant margin, which combined with its short reach makes it somewhat impractical.	N/A	9%
Floor Attack		N/A	Spins around onto its feet while swiping its tail forwards and then backwards.	N/A	7%

Tilt Attacks

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Side Tilt		Tail Sweep	Crouches and swings its tail forwards. Can be angled. Comes out quickly and has low ending lag, making it a decent spacing and locking tool, but it is weak. Squirtle's tail is intangible.	N/A	5%
Up Tilt		Jump Headbutt	Hops up and headbutts upwards. Comes out quickly, has minimal ending lag, and is weak, making it a potent combo tool and due to Squirtle's jump, it has good vertical range, making it an effective anti-air; it can lead into a variety of moves depending on percentage, including itself, forward tilt, down tilt, neutral aerial, forward aerial and up aerial.	N/A	5%
Down Tilt		Water Sweep	Spins and sweeps its tail forwards. It is Squirtle's slowest tilt, but also its most powerful and is one of the strongest of its type.	N/A	9%

Smash Attacks

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Side Smash		Water Smash	Spits water forwards. Can be angled. Somewhat slow startup, but has great range, low ending lag and high knockback.	N/A	15%
Up Smash		Water Pillar	Creating two water geysers on either side of it. Slow startup and has mediocre vertical range.	N/A	3% (initial ground hit), 13% (clean), 12% (early), 10% (mid), 9% (late), 8% (latest)
Down Smash		Sprinkler	Crouches down and spins on its shell while spitting water. Squirtle's fastest smash attack, both in startup and FAF.	N/A	13%

Aerial Attacks

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Neutral Aerial		Squirtle Spin	Turns to its side (such that the back of its shell faces the screen) and does a quick cartwheel. Comes out quickly, making it good to combo into, and the late hit lasts a while, making it good for approaching or edge-guarding. Decent knockback.	N/A	10% (clean), 7% (late)
Forward Aerial		Rocket Kick	Dropkicks which produces a small drill of water. Comes out very quickly and is good for combos. Decent range and somewhat disjointed due to the jet of water produced by Squirtle's feet.	N/A	7% (clean), 6% (late)
Backward Aerial		Tail Screw	Thrusts and corkscrews its tail backward. Comes out very quickly. Has the highest landing lag of Squirtle's aerials, but auto-cancels earlier.	N/A	1% (hits 1-5), 6% (hit 6)
Up Aerial		Inverted Tail	Flips upward, using its tail to knock opponents vertically. Comes out quickly and is a potent juggling and combo tool. Of Squirtle's aerials, this has the earliest FAF (and auto-cancel window as well as low landing lag.	N/A	7%
Down Aerial		Tornado Spin	Thrusts its tail downward, spinning around in a multi-hit attack similarly to back aerial. Comes out quickly, though later than Squirtle's other aerials. Has high landing lag and auto-cancels relatively late like neutral and forward aerials, although they can all autocancel in a short hop.	N/A	1.5% (hits 1-5), 4% (hit 6)

Grabs & Throws

Input	Image Pose	Name	Description	Reference	Damage
Grab		N/A	Grabs the opponent with 1 hand.	N/A	N/A
Pummel		Grab Headbutt	Headbutts the grabbed opponent. Decently fast.	N/A	1%
Forward Throw		Jump Kick	Puts the opponent in front of itself and does a jumping kick on them. Good for edgeguarding and has decent knockback, but requires high percentages and rage to KO reliably.	N/A	2% (hit 1), 6% (throw)
Backward Throw		2-Handed Throw	Lifts the opponent with both arms and tosses them behind itself. This move turns Squirtle to face the other direction. Squirtle's strongest throw.	N/A	8%
Up Throw		Headbutt Launch	Tosses the opponent above itself and headbutts them in a similar manner to its up tilt. Good combo potential, leading into neutral aerial at lower damages and up aerial.	N/A	2% (hit 1), 5% (throw)
Down Throw		Shell Press	Puts the opponent on the ground and then slams onto them with its shell. This is a good combo throw, leading into forward aerial and up aerial at a variety of percentages.	N/A	2% (hit 1), 5% (throw)

Special Moves

Input	Image	Name	Description	Damage
Neutral Special		Water Gun	Squirtle charges up, then spits out streams of water. The water does not deal damage or cause flinching, serving only to push opponents, similarly to Mario's F.L.U.D.D. The move can be charged for up to around one second. The charging can be cancelled by either pressing the special button, which uses the move at its current charge or by jumping, shielding or rolling, all of which preserve the current charge. The charge is still preserved when switching to other Pokémon, but is lost upon being KO'd as Squirtle. The longer the move is charged, the more water is sprayed and the further it will travel, increasing the move's effectiveness. The spray of water can also be angled. Very useful for edgeguarding and gimping, similarly to Mario's F.L.U.D.D.	0%
Side Special		Withdraw	Retreats into its shell and slides across the stage at high speed. If it hits a wall, it will continue sliding in the opposite direction; if it hits an opponent, it bounces out of its shell and the move ends. Throughout the move, Squirtle is immune to damage, but can have its sliding trajectory altered by knockback; if hit by a water attack, Squirtle will still not take damage but will receive knockback as if it wasn't using the move. Additionally, if Squirtle is footstooled on during the move, it is put into a vulnerable state for about two seconds as it lies on the ground, stuck on its back. If the move is performed with a tap input, it travels a bit further and faster, and deals a bit more damage.	8%-13.9%
Up Special		Waterfall	Creates a wave of water and rides it upwards. The attack deals multiple hits, and is difficult to interrupt as a recovery move, as the hitbox is large, disjointed and directly in front of Squirtle. The movement direction of the move can be slightly altered with the control stick to be more vertical or more horizontal. Squirtle becomes helpless after using this move.	1.4% (hits 1-7), 3% (hit 8)
Down Special		Bubble	Shoots out a small stream of bubbles that push the enemy away, similar to Mario's F.L.U.D.D., but Bubble deals slight damage and trips opponents.	3% (hits 1-3)

Final Smash

• Water Spout: Squirtle retreats into its shell and starts to bounce on the ground while two large geysers of water attack opponents from either side of the move, having a fairly large attack radius.

Palutena's Guidance

Character	Transcript
Pit	Is that a Squirtle?
Palutena	The Tiny Turtle Pokémon.
Viridi	Mmm... I have a sudden craving for tiny turtle stew.
Pit	What is wrong with you?
Palutena	Squirtle is one of the first Pokémon you can get! And this time around, Squirtle has more water moves in its arsenal.
Pit	Getting a little wet doesn't bother me!
Palutena	Don't underestimate water, Pit. With enough force and precision, it becomes a blade that can cut through anything.
Pit	You're right. All these fighters are here for a reason. I can't let my guard down against anyone!
Palutena	When Squirtle charges at you with its shell, guard, and then counterattack when it's up in the air.
