How many Squirtles stacked up match Blastoise?
Blastoise measures 1.6 m (5.25 ft) from the ground up, and Squirtle measures 50 cm (19.7 in) from the ground up. Blastoise comes to 3.20 times the height of Squirtle, a difference of 1.1 m (3.61 ft). Take 3 Squirtles stacked up and you reach 1.5 m (4.92 ft), still 10 cm (3.94 in) short of Blastoise; one more would overshoot by 40 cm (15.7 in). Blastoise is written in single metres and Squirtle in tens of centimetres, a whole band of scale apart.
| Object | Real size | Axis measured | What the figure covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blastoise | 1.6 m 5.25 ft |
Height | Ground to highest point |
| Squirtle | 50 cm 19.7 in |
Height | Ground to highest point |
Both figures, Blastoise and Squirtle, come from the Size It Up measurement set, one real-world size and one measured axis per object, last checked in September 2026; outline provenance is listed on the sources page.
Why this one is hard to judge by eye
Squirtle has never been measured, only stated: the figure comes from its source and moves when the source is redrawn, while Blastoise can be checked with a tape, so this pair sets a decision against a measurement. Blastoise is drawn about 3.56 times as wide as Squirtle as well as 3.20 times its height, so the area it takes in the frame grows faster than the figure anyone quotes. Both shapes fit in a single glance here, which ought to make 3.20 to one obvious between Blastoise and Squirtle, and it is not: at this size the eye compares whole outlines while the figures above compare one axis.
What each figure covers
Blastoise. Blastoise is quoted at its official entry height, a figure fixed by the game rather than measured from any drawing. Those heights are settled and do not change between appearances.
Squirtle. Squirtle is quoted at its official entry height, fixed by the game. Half a metre is about the size of a large domestic cat.
Blastoise and Squirtle are both quoted as a height, which is what makes the ratio above a like-for-like figure.
What else is about that size?
Measured the same way, Blastoise at 1.6 m sits within a tenth of Charizard at 1.7 m, Crash Bandicoot at 1.5 m and Gengar at 1.5 m. Squirtle at 50 cm has A3 Paper at 42 cm, Charmander at 60 cm and Pikachu at 40 cm for company, within a quarter. Swapping any of those in for Blastoise would move its ratio to Squirtle by less than 10%.
