Physical Sweeper Wartortle (Retro)
Wartortle is an outstanding Physical Sweeper in single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. In gen one, Wartortle played quite differently. In the dark days prior to Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 100-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Dig is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Seismic Toss is a physical 1-base power Fighting-type move (damage = Wartortle's level. Can hit ghost types). ♦ Counter is a physical 0-base power Fighting-type move (if hit by physical attack, returns double damage). ♦ Withdraw is a status move (raises your Wartortle's defense by 1 stage).

Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
