How do you catch a sqirtle on Pokemon pearl?

You can't catch Squirtle in Pokemon Pearl! Squirtle is a starter Pokemon in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, and it's not available in the Sinnoh region where Pearl takes place.

However, you can get other water-type starters like Piplup and Turtwig!

Here's how to get a Piplup:

* Choose Piplup as your starter Pokemon: This is the most straightforward way to get a water-type starter in Pokemon Pearl.

Here's how to get a Turtwig:

* Choose Turtwig as your starter Pokemon: If you want a grass-type starter, you can pick Turtwig. You can always evolve it into a water-type later on.

While Squirtle isn't in Pearl, there are plenty of other water-type Pokemon to catch in the game!
