Wartortle is a pure Water-type Pokemon and the second stage of the Squirtle line. In the Lumiose Pokedex, it sits at #155. It stands 3'03”, weighs 49.6 lbs, and keeps the classic turtle-style look with the fluffy tail. Fun fact: if you tap its head, it hides inside its shell, but the tail still sticks out a bit.

Right now, Wartortle does not spawn in the wild. The only way to get one is by evolving a Squirtle.
Steps:
No special items, weather, or location tricks — just simple leveling.
You won't find a wild Wartortle wandering around zones. The Pokedex confirms it is evolution-only.
If you're seeing Wartortles in battles, trade hubs, or online posts, that's because other players evolved them — not because they found them in the wild.
After getting Wartortle, just push it further:
Again, no stones or extra steps needed.
Here's the full breakdown:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| HP | 59 |
| Attack | 63 |
| Defense | 80 |
| Special Attack | 65 |
| Special Defense | 80 |
| Speed | 58 |
| Total | 405 |
Wartortle has a tanky style — great physical and special defense for its tier — and plays best as a mid-game defensive Water-type.
Not directly. Since it has no wild spawn locations, you cannot “catch” Wartortle — only Squirtle.
So if someone asks, “Where do I find Wartortle?” the real answer is: find Squirtle instead.
There are three ways to get a Shiny Wartortle:
The most common method. If you get lucky with a shiny Squirtle, evolving it keeps the shiny form.
Some players farm shinies and trade them.
If you don't want to rely on RNG, U4GM is a safe place to buy Shiny Pokemon ZA, including Wartortle.
(You also noted the price: $2.49.)
Since Wartortle has no wild spawn, Alpha versions also cannot appear naturally.
The only possible ways are:
If the game features Alpha Squirtle spawns or events, evolving it will produce an Alpha Wartortle.
Some players specialize in Alpha farming.
If Alpha forms become available, marketplaces often list Alpha evolutions after release.
As of now, the official game data suggests Wartortle itself does not appear as a natural Alpha.
Yes. You can buy Shiny Wartortle Pokemon from U4GM if you want a guaranteed shiny instead of waiting for luck.
Wartortle is an evolution-only Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. You get it by leveling Squirtle to 16, and it evolves into Blastoise at 36. It has no wild spawn location, no natural Alpha variant, and shinies come only from evolving shiny Squirtle, trading, or buying. It's defensive, dependable, and a classic partner for any team.
