Its shell grows darker as it ages, and the fluffy tail that grows from its back is considered a mark of longevity in game lore.\n\nWartortle's stats lean defensive: base Defense of 80 and Special Defense of 80 give it solid staying power compared to the other Kanto middle-stage starters. It is a lesser-seen choice in the TCG relative to Squirtle and Blastoise, but has had consistent representation across sets. Wartortle figures appear as part of the Squirtle evolution family in most standard figure lines. Competitively, Wartortle sees occasional use in lower-tier formats where its defensive profile and Water typing make it a reliable pivot.", "page": "https://www.dexhaul.com/pokedex/wartortle", "shop": {"search_api": "https://www.dexhaul.com/api/search?query=Wartortle", "search_page": "https://www.dexhaul.com/?q=Wartortle"}, "guides": [], "forms": [], "evolves_by": ["Level 16"], "source": "PokéAPI dataset (facts); DexHaul editorial"}
