Tirtouga, also known as プロトーガ, is a Water/Rock type Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon series. It first appeared in Pokémon Black and White with the National Pokédex number #564 and is classified as the "Prototurtle Pokémon." Tirtouga resembles a baby sea turtle, particularly a leatherback, with a primarily deep blue body and a black/blue shell on its back. Its face features mask-like black markings. It is believed to have lived in ancient oceans approximately 100 million years ago and was known to hunt on land. In the games, Tirtouga can be obtained by reviving the "Cover Fossil." It evolves into Carracosta at level 37. Tirtouga is known for its tough shell and ability to dive deep into the ocean. It has made several appearances in the anime series, often engaging in fun interactions with the protagonists.
