When it feels threatened, it draws its limbs inside its shell and sprays water from its mouth.
It shelters itself in its shell then strikes back with spouts of water at every opportunity.
It shelters itself in its shell, then strikes back with spouts of water at every opportunity.
After birth, its back swells and hardens into a shell. It powerfully sprays foam from its mouth.
When it retracts its long neck into its shell, it squirts out water with vigorous force.
Its shell is not just for protection. Its rounded shape and the grooves on its surface minimize resistance in water, enabling Squirtle to swim at high speeds.
