Autumn Turtwig
Autumn Turtwig is a Novelty Pokémon designed by Novarius Haze. It was added on November 9, 2022 along with its evolutions.
Physiology
Autumn Turtwig looks mostly similar to previously discovered Turtwig. One of its notable differences include being an orangish colour rather than green. Its most intriguing feature is its deep orange maple leaves on its head, unmistakably difference shape compared to regular Turtwigs. Their shell is a lot harder and is capable of withstanding hard hits. Their bellies are very soft and have the ability to absorb water from moist soil.
Diet
Autumn Turtwig don't seem to drink much water, seemly able to survive on small quantities. They can hydrate themselves by simply laying in moist dirt and have it absorb through their belly. They seem particularly fond of ripe fruit and fallen berries. Dried foods are their absolute favourite such as dried Nanab and Oran Berries.
Behavior
Autumn Turtwig are know to be slow and sleep for long periods at a time. It is not uncommon you'd find one under a tree. Autumn Turtwig also seem to only be found in Autumn. It is suggested they go into hibernation all year long until the fall months when their favourite food is available. Those that live with humans are shown capable of being awake year around as long as they are regularly fed, but they still behave more lazily outside of the Autumn season.
