Q&A

Grass (×2), Electric (×2). Resists Steel, Fire, Water, Ice. Calculated from the gen 3 type chart (FireRed/LeafGreen).

Squirtle evolves into Wartortle starting at level 16. Wartortle evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36.

Our take: Yes. Squirtle beats Brock safely, has solid matchups throughout and grows into a bulky anchor with Surf and Ice Beam coverage.
