How to unlock Squirtle in PokeBonk
Squirtle is one of the three PokeBonk starters (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle), so it is in your League from the first run and needs no challenge. The PokeBonk starters guide compares the three.
Squirtle moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Water Gun | Water | Special | Projectile | Start | 15 | 0.85 s |
| 2 | Bubble | Water | Special | Burst | Level 2 | 6 | 0.98 s |
| 3 | Rapid Spin | Normal | Physical | Spin | Level 4 | 11 | 0.69 s |
| 4 | Hydro Pump | Water | Special | Bolt | Level 7 | 10 | 2.16 s |
Squirtle passive: Torrent Shell
+15 armor and +20 shield. Below 40% HP, +40% damage.
Water Gun, Bubble, and Hydro Pump match Squirtle's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Squirtle Ultimate in PokeBonk
Squirtle's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Squirtle | Shell Whirlpool | 2.4 s | You spin inside your shell: a whirlpool drags in nearby enemies, hits them non-stop and ends in a wave. |
| Wartortle | Tidal Wave | 1.6 s | A giant wave spreads out from you in a circle, drags everyone along and leaves rain. |
| Blastoise | Hydro Cannon | 2.8 s | A wave and two water cannons that sweep 360° around you. |
Squirtle evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Squirtle line evolves like this: Squirtle evolves into Wartortle at level 24 and Wartortle evolves into Blastoise at level 44.
Squirtle stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Squirtle | 0 | 108 | 11.1 | 1.02x | 1x | 1.01x | 1x |
| Wartortle | 1 | 122 | 10.7 | 1.02x | 1.01x | 1.01x | 1.12x |
| Blastoise | 2 | 137 | 10.4 | 1.03x | 1.01x | 1.01x | 1.24x |
