Turtwig is the Grass-type starter of Generation 4, which took place in the Sinnoh Region. If it follows the trend of Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, and the other starters, you will be able to hatch it out of 5KM Eggs. It is expected to cost 25 Turtwig Candy to evolve.
GROTLE

ATTACK: 157 |

Grotle is the evolved form of Turtwig. It's family was first discovered in the Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl video games. To evolve Grotle further, we expect it to require 100 Turtwig Candy. We expect Grotle and its family to take 3KM to earn a Candy when walking it as a Buddy.
