      Recommended moves

      Turtwig is at the base level of a three-stage evolution line and is a popular starter, but it lacks the stats necessary for relevance in PvE battles like Raids and Gyms.

      Great LeagueGreat League

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup - Thanks to the hard-hitting nature of Razor Leaf and access to the relatively spammy Body Slam, Turtwig does leave a mark in the Little League meta. Aside from dominating Water, Ground, and Rock type opponents, it also picks up a few Ice types like Swinub and Piloswine, both of which are weak to Grass. However, you're going to receive more value from a fellow Grass starter like Bulbasaur, so for a high-level performance, go with the Gen 1 classic. Turtwig isn't viable for any other PvP League.
