Torterra
 
I need help making an effective Torterra moveset. Help please ^^

Nightofshadow September 1st, 2007 3:36 AM

How about you come up with a moveset of your own THEN we help you with your movelist. Please stop posting threads asking people to do things for you.

Phazon September 1st, 2007 4:13 AM

Fair enough, but I really don't know what would be effective, which is why I asked for help making a moveset in the first place..

I guess:

Earthquake
Leech seed
Crunch
Woodhammer

Azonic September 1st, 2007 4:14 AM

I really advise you to use Seed Bomb over Wood Hammer, especially on tanking this guy.

Same as what he said... but please dont use Crunch lol

Stone Edge is the best choice since both of Torterra's moves won't hit flying types very well

Hey, I use Wood Hammer quite effectivly. Here's my exact Torterra:

[email protected]
Nature:Impish
Wood Hammer
Stone Edge [PP MAX]
Earthquake
Synthesis
EV:252 HP, 82 ATK, 176 DEF

This has worked wonders for me ;)

Azonic September 1st, 2007 5:48 AM

I really advise everyone to use Seed Bomb over wood Hammer on a tanking pokemon.

sims796 September 1st, 2007 5:55 AM

Heh, the reason I use Wood Hammer is the laziness to first teach a poke Seed Bomb then breed. This is the same Torterra that I beat the game with, and his IV's are great, so I said screw it. With Stone Edge + Earthquake, it hits every type. Wood Hammer is more of a last resort.

Azonic September 1st, 2007 6:07 AM

Well, Wood Hammer and Synthesis go perfect.

sims796 September 1st, 2007 6:08 AM

Of course, it's always nice to have Sunny Day support.

Azonic September 1st, 2007 6:11 AM

Nah, two moveslots just to restore HP seems like a waste.

And it makes Torterra more vulnerable to fire, so having to use Synthesis more often.

And a Sunnyday over an over again. Seems like a waste :(

sims796 September 1st, 2007 6:13 AM

No, I mean someone else is a Sunnybeamer. She keeps TTar at bay.

Azonic September 1st, 2007 6:16 AM

Then thats a good thing.

No Leech Seed on Torterra unless you want a switch.

Earthquake
Wood Hammer
Synthesis
Stone Edge

so FTW PP Max doesn't increase the maximum PP. XDD

sims796 September 1st, 2007 6:18 AM

? It increased Stone Edge to 8 PP instead of 5.

Azonic September 1st, 2007 6:19 AM

Thats called PP Up.

PP Max restores PP, it doesn't raise it.

sims796 September 1st, 2007 6:22 AM

No, you're thinking Ether/Elixer. PP Max raises PP to the max. PP UP raises PP,'but you'll need 2-4 to completley max PP.

Phazon September 1st, 2007 10:15 AM

I'm not sure about stone edge..

I taught it to my Golem to replace rock slide and now I wish I didn't. Stone edge just misses too many times..

sims796 September 1st, 2007 10:17 AM

Rock Slide is also an option, but it just isn't powerful enough.

Phazon September 1st, 2007 10:22 AM

Are there any other rock alternatives?

I can't decide between rock slide and stone edge..

sims796 September 1st, 2007 10:26 AM

I'll make that choice for you. Stone Edge. Rock Slide just isn't strong enough, especially without STAB. Stone Edge may miss, but it can save your arse. Plus a high critical hit ratio.

Phazon September 1st, 2007 10:34 AM

Really? I've never had a critical hit with it. o_O

I must just be unlucky lol.

I thought rock slide had 100 accuracy not 90. So I guess i'll stick with stone edge.

sims796 September 1st, 2007 10:41 AM

Rock Slide can Flinch, but Torterra is too slow to make use of it.

Phazon September 1st, 2007 10:49 AM

Could I use leech seed instead of Synthesis?

sims796 September 1st, 2007 10:52 AM

Not if you're using Wood Hammer. The health regain is too minimal, even with Leftovers. However, with Seed Bomb, it's perfect.

Phazon September 1st, 2007 10:54 AM

How much does leech seed return?

I'm keeping wood hammer so i'll keep synthesis aswell. =)
