Pokemon GO Turtwig is a Grass type originally found in the Sinnoh Region. Turtwig evolves into Grotle for 25 Candy, and Grotle evolves into Torterra for 100 Candy.
Turtwig has excellently rounded stats which allow him to reach 1066 Max CP, which is higher than any Gen 1-3 Grass starter Pokemon. In fact, the entire Turtwig evolution line has well rounded, almost equal, stats.
Turtwig buddy distance is expected to be 3KM, similar to starter Pokemon from other Generations. We expect that Turtwig will be hatchable from 5KM eggs, with a maximum Egg CP of 609.
