🧸 Little Cup
Tirtouga’s balanced stats work in its favor. Even its Fast Move, Water Gun, is all about balance, sporting 3 DPT and 3 EPT, allowing it to smoothly use Surf and bait shields while Surf deals STAB damage. 🏄
That said, Tirtouga's wins and losses are a mixed bag. It beats Vullaby, Gligar, Greavard, Vulpix, and Lickitung, but loses to the big names of the Little Cup like Bronzor, Seel, Deino, Ducklett, and Wynaut due to limited coverage. A decent Pokémon, but nothing outstanding. 🫠
💎 Tirtouga's best moveset for PvP is Water Gun, Body Slam, and Surf.
🔵 Great League
Tirtouga’s limited coverage becomes a bigger issue in the Great League, where it's unable to beat the major threats of the format. Moreover, there are way better Pokémon to use, so it's best to skip this turtle. 🥲
Tirtouga is pointless in the Ultra and Master League.
