Torterra PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

• Grass Attacker:Razor LeafFrenzy Plant
• Ground Attacker:Mud-SlapEarthquake

Torterra is among the weaker Grass-type starters, with all its peers except Meganium and Serperior dealing higher damage in Raids. In fact, Torterra's Grass DPS is a little higher than Alolan Exeggutor, making it a poor choice for Raids. Even in the Ground-type department, Torterra's DPS is nearly the same as that of regular Swampert. With no Mega Evolution, there is not even any future potential for this Pokémon. For Gym defense, Torterra's decent bulk is compromised with its glaring double weakness to Ice.

🔵 Great League

With a combination of hard-hitting Fast Move, shield-baiting ability, guaranteed opponent DEF debuff, and a strong move in Frenzy Plant, Torterra is quite formidable in the Great League.

There's a large number of Pokémon it beats, including Medicham, Sableye, Florges, Shadow Drapion, Wigglytuff, Tinkaton, and a host of Water, Ground, Poison, and Rock types.

Moreover, Torterra can function in any role, be it the starting of the battle or the very end. That said, facing a Flying type is a difficult predicament if you end up sending Torterra as the closer, so be sure to include counters to Flying and Ice types.

Note that using Stone Edge (ideally replacing Sand Tomb) gives Torterra coverage against all its weaknesses (Ice, Bug, Fire, and Flying), so that's a good move (along with Frenzy Plant) to use although you sacrifice the spamminess and guaranteed debuffs via Sand Tomb. You can choose the right move as per your team's composition.

🟡 Ultra League

Torterra is once again a menace in the Ultra League, and while it works well with either Sand Tomb or Stone Edge, the DEF debuffs from Sand Tomb are a little more threatening in this format. Aside from the regular wins from most Water (loses Feraligatr, Ludicolo, and Lapras), Ground, Poison, and Rock types, Torterra takes down some core threats like Shadow Scizor, Zygarde Complete, Lickilicky, and Shadow Dusknoir.

This Pokémon almost always impresses in PvP, but isn't such a popular pick since fellow Grass starters like Venusaur, Decidueye, and Meowscarada are simply better.

🟣 Master League

Torterra's run stops in its tracks once it enters the Master League. This format is too overbearing for the Grass/Ground starter.
