# Grotle (树林龟) (Chinese) #018 — CSV7C (利刃猛醒)

## Summary

Grotle has long been the quiet middle stage of Sinnoh's starter line, a sturdy Grass-type whose shell sprouts a small grove that trainers in the games have always found oddly endearing. On this Simplified Chinese common from CSV7C, released in mainland China in January 2026, it plods through a grassy clearing in bright lime green with a leafy canopy on its back. A bulk slot, then, but a pleasant one for anyone completing the Chinese run.
