Quick Links
Squirtle is the Water-type starter Pokemon for mostPokemongames that take place in Kanto, such asPokemon
Red/Blue andPokemon FireRed/LeafGreen. Unlike its Grass/Poison-type and Fire-type counterparts, Bulbasaur and Charmander, fully-evolved Squirtle does not gain dual-typing, remaining a Water-type Pokemon from start to end. Despite this, it’s still capable of non-Water type moves, such as Ice Beam, inPokemon Scarlet & Violet.
You’ll need to catch a Squirtle and its evolutions if you plan on filling out the Blueberry Pokedex inPokemon Scarlet/Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC. You can catch a wild Squirtle in Indigo Disk’s Terarium, but only if you have enough Blueberry Points (BP) at the Unova region’s Blueberry Academy.
Where to Find Squirtle in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Canyon Biome in Terarium
You’ll need the Indigo Disk DLC to gain access to Terarium, and then you’ll need to make sure you have the following stories completed:
Squirtle spawns in the southern waters of theCanyon BiomeinTerariumafter you’ve contributed3000BPto upgrading the Canyon Biome, which can be done at the League Club in Blueberry Academy. BP, or Blueberry Points, are a currency exclusive to Blueberry Academy that can be used for various means in the Indigo Disk. For the starter Pokemon to appear in Terarium, you will want tocontribute these BPs to the environmental clubsat Blueberry Academy.
BPs are gained from completing Blueberry Quests, or BBQs for short. These tasks are assigned to you after completing yourfirst class in Terarium. Unfortunately, this is the only way of getting BPs, so you’ll need to complete a lot of BBQs before you may get the 3000 for expanding the Canyon Biome.
- While youcango to Terarium before starting “The Way Home”, you won’t be able to progress the story of Indigo Disk untilafteryou’ve been to Area Zero the first time. Instead, you’ll be locked off before you can meet up with Carmine in Terarium, and to gain access to the League Club, you will need to battle Carmine.
Youcan, however, do BBQs so long as you complete your first class in the Coastal Biome. Thus, it’s possible to farm BPs before progressing the Indigo Disk storyline.
Once you have 3000BP, do the following:
Since Squirtle tends to spawn in the water, you can use Dive Balls to catch them. These have a higher catch modifier if used on a Pokemon that’s “in the water.”

How to Evolve Squirtle & Wartortle into Blastoise
What Level Does Squirtle Evolve?
Squirtle evolves into Wartortle when it reacheslevel 16. When Wartortle reacheslevel 36, it will evolve into Blastoise. If you’re catching a Squirtle in Indigo Disk,then its level will be in the late-50s to mid-60s. Since it will be way beyond its evolution level, you’ll need to level up Squirtleonceto make it evolve, then once more (after it becomes Wartortle) to get Blastoise. A quick way to level up a Squirtle from the Canyone Biome is to feed it a Rare Candy or Exp. Candy.
