PokeBonk Wartortle
Pokemon · Squirtle line · last checked 2026-10-20
PokeBonk Wartortle is a Water-type Pokemon that you cannot pick at the start of a run: it is the evolved form of Squirtle, a League Pokemon. Play Squirtle and it evolves into Wartortle automatically at player level 24, which raises your HP and damage multiplier to 1.12x. Wartortle keeps the Squirtle kit and upgrades the Ultimate to Tidal Wave. The line sits in A tier with a Kit Score of 51.2.

How to get Wartortle in PokeBonk
You do not unlock Wartortle directly. Squirtle is a starter, so you can play the line from your first run. Then pick Squirtle for a run and level up: evolution in a run depends only on your player level, not on stones or trades, so Wartortle arrives at level 24.
Each stage adds 0.12 to your HP and damage multiplier, so an evolved form hits harder and takes more hits than the Pokemon you started with. An Eviolite helps until the last stage. See PokeBonk evolution for every line.
Wartortle moves and passive
Wartortle uses the same four-move kit as Squirtle; evolving does not swap moves. Its passive is Torrent Shell: +15 armor and +20 shield. Below 40% HP, +40% damage.

At this stage the Ultimate is Tidal Wave, lasting 1.6 seconds: A giant wave spreads out from you in a circle, drags everyone along and leaves rain. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how to charge it faster.
Wartortle 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.
Wartortle 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 |
