Tirtouga

Tirtouga is a reptilian Pokémon resembling a baby leatherback sea turtle. Its body is blue with black spots on the edges of its flippers. Its black shell has six circular indentations in it. It has a black upper beak and a mask that covers most of its head. It has a light blue patch underneath its eyes.

Tirtouga's shell is very tough, and it can dive down to depths of as much as 1,000 meters. Tirtouga was known to actively hunt for prey to the extent that it would go on land to reach them. Tirtouga lived in the ancient oceans from about 100 million years ago. It now exists in the present thanks to being revived from fossils. Tirtouga is believed to be the ancestor of most turtle Pokémon.

Tirtouga made its main series debut in ''A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1'', where it was befriended by Ferris in the past. The same Tirtouga appeared in the follow-up episode, where it managed to evolve into Carracosta.

Multiple Tirtouga debuted in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram.
