Special Research[]

Squirtle Community Day Classic Special Research was available during the event. The Blastoise in this research would know Hydro Cannon if it was caught during event hours.

- Hello, TRAINER! It’s great to see you! Can you guess what else I saw earlier while walking through the forest? Fountains of water, coming out of a river!
- At first, I wondered who would install a fountain in the middle of nature.
- But then, I saw beautiful auburn between the spouts of water, and realized our mystery architect must be a Squirtle!
- Squirtle hide in their shells to protect themselves, then strike back with spouts of water at every opportunity. That must've been what I saw!
- Squirtle’s also well known as a Pokémon that aspiring Trainers from the Kanto region can choose to be their first partner Pokémon.
- Why don’t you have a look at the Tiny Turtle Pokémon yourself, TRAINER?
- Welcome back, TRAINER! While you were getting up and close with Squirtle, I happened upon a Wartortle with algae growing out of its shell!
- Wartortle is Squirtle's evolution. Ones with algae on their shells are very old, so imagine what that Wartortle’s seen in its years!
- Why don’t you evolve one of your Squirtle, TRAINER? It’ll be able to keep you company for a good long while.
- Great work, TRAINER! I wasn’t exaggerating when I said Wartortle could keep you company for a long time. Maybe even longer than me!
- Wartortle are said to live 10,000 years. Their furry tails are popular as a symbol of longevity.
- Their tails become increasingly deeper in color as they age. Isn’t that fascinating? It’s the exact opposite of us humans!
- And Wartortle doesn’t just have incredible endurance—they can also grow to become even stronger. When they evolve into Blastoise, they grow rocket cannons on their shells!
- If you evolve a Wartortle, you can see it for yourself, TRAINER!
- Look at the rocket cannons on that Blastoise, TRAINER! As you can see, Blastoise has spouts extending from its shell at the top.
- Once Blastoise takes aim at an enemy, it can blast out water with even more force than a fire hose.
- Now that might be a fun way to cool down during a scorching summer, eh?
- Blastoise would just have to be mindful of its own power—some researchers even say the jets of water Blastoise spouts from the rocket cannons on its shell can punch through thick steel!
- But with a Trainer like you, I’m sure everything will be under control, whether you and your Blastoise are out for some summer fun, or engaged in a fierce battle!
- And speaking of summer fun, I’ve got to run and get the inflatable pool out for Meltan. Thanks for spending the day with me, TRAINER. I’ll see you again soon!
