In-Depth Analysis
Squirtle's 314 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Defense (65) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 43 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Water combination gives Squirtle 4 resistances and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Squirtle a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
