Torterra
Do any of you guys think this will be a good Torterra?
NAME: Torterra @ Choice Band NATURE: Adamant MOVE 1: Wood Hammer MOVE 2: Earthquake MOVE 3: Stone Edge MOVE 4: Crunch EV'S: 212 HP/ 252 ATK/ 46 SPD |
Well my Torterra runs like this:
Torterra @ Leftovers Adament Nature Wood Hammer Leech Seed Earthquake Stone Hedge |
That sounds like a good Torterra.
|
Though I've never played Wi-Fi so I've never actually tried it =\
|
What EV's does it have? If it is EV trained.
|
Sorry it's not EV trained
|
Oh, alright because a really good Torterra should have 252 ATK and 252 SPD and the rest should be HP. On my opinion.
|
Yeah mines something like that too
|
Oh, so close. Everything looks good, exept the EV spread.
Why the heck are you giving it SPD EVs? It doesn't make sense. When people EV train, they know a pokemon's greatest & worst stats. You should know that Torterra is so slow, putting SPD EV's will be a waste. Especially so little. A better spread would be a more defensive one. It will NEVER outrun anything important, other than other Torterra, Blissey, & things with under Base 50 SPD. If you want to use Choice Band, make it more defensive, since it will always go last to the real threats. 252 ATK, The rest spread between Defense & HP. Quote:

Torterra is the only physical wall (aside from Bronzong) to resist both Rock-Types and Ground Type moves, a popular Physical sweep combo, but then it has a really bad weakness to Ice which is also used with Ground-tyoe moves.. which explains the use of more Bronzong
Personally I'd run Synthesis over Leech Seed on Shadowed Venusaur, instant heal is always the bigger demand I also run Seed Bomb at times when my Torterra doesn't have Leftovers, now now, I ONLY do that to fit Torterra in a team of creation |

Torterra @ Leftovers Impish Nature EVS: 252 HP/200 Def/58 Atk -Seed Bomb -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Leech Seed/Curse Torterra's best role is physical wall, as Name pointed out. It also can't be Choice Banded to be a physical wall, because it still has to be able to deal back damage. Leftovers works much better, and then there's no need for Synthesis. Then use Leech Seed for more HP. I use Curse and it works nicely for the physical wall set, or for any Torterra set really. Attack and Defense Boost is exactly what Torterra needs. Curse away and it'll be a tough poke to take down. |
I wanted to try something like this for a Torterra idea. It should be good.
[email protected] Impish nature EVs: 252 HP/128 Def/128 sp. Def Amnesia/Earthquake Leech Seed Earthquake/Synthesis Curse Why Amnesia? Well, this setup can turn you into a pretty big tank without doubt. Leech Seed, Curse, do whatever it takes to set up, then when needed, if added, use Synthesis. You'll last a while if you manage to set up on them. I think it'll work, and I want to try it. I have another set on my mind too. [email protected]/Expert Belt (I try to limit Leftover use.) Adamant Nature 252 atk/252HP/6Def Seed Bomb Earthquake Stone Edge Curse/Crunch Yeah, this is sorta basic. The first one is just a random idea I might be able to exploit in the future. The second one I can make pretty much anytime. |

My Torterra [email protected] NAME!!!!!!!!! Nature:Impish Wood Hammer Stone Edge Eathquake Synthesis/Leech Seed EV: 252 HP, 86 ATK, 176 DEF This is one of many sets. It can also be effective with Curse, losing Synthesis or Leech Seed, and investing a bit more in ATK. Much more ATK can warrent Choice Band, but I highly advise my Tanking set. Of course, Synthesis is to recover from your own Wood Hammer, but becomes dimmed in Sandstorm, so Leech Seed might help. |
Not really. Superpower lowers attack and defense.
Torterra needs those. And Crunch is more effective for countering Cressy to stop Ice Beam. :) |
But leaves you walled to Skarmory. Completely. & Bronzoong, &...get my drift?
You know, there really arent that many pure Steel types. Regardless, Torterra has many moves, & can use em effectively. My set works just great, as Wood Hammer is one of my favorite moves, plus with Synthesis, I recover from any major damage. However, some can go with a more...defensive role, using Curse, Seed Bomb, & Leech Seed. ' His strenghts lies in his diversability. |

Anyways, no point on Amnesia, almost all Sp. Sweepers are BoltBeamers, the Beam part gets Torterra out of his shell |
Don't tell me you forgot that stall war between Gya & Bronzong...

Quote:
Yeah, hope you find a way to counter Bronzong with a Torterra set.. |

Wood Hammer is a Grass move X.x;
I like Synthesis over Crunch on Torterra. Its a defensive pokemon so it likes recovery moves |

my torterra has:
frenzy plant earthquake stone edge superpower |

Defensive and CBTerra are both fine. I prefer a Curser/Seeder myself. |

Here is a Torterra set I would use. Torterra @ Leftovers * YOU THINK IS THIS FUNNY? 252 HP/62 Attk/194 Def -- Impish Wood Hammer Stone Edge Rest Sleep Talk Guarenteed to switch into and take out standard CB/DDTar, some* DDMence, and both bulky and normal DDGyara**. Rest when done. Makes a great physical tankish thing. I wouldn't recommend trying to win over any of the above but normal Gyara while sleeping since if Sleep Talk doesn't pick the right move you're screwed. It is strongly recommended you use this set with Stealth Rock since it makes killing things easier. You can switch the HP and Def EVs if you want; the only thing I can think of that keeping it will help at is making Specstar's Dark Pulse have a less chance of 2HKOing you but I'm sure there are other specific situations. It's up to you really. I feel like using Torterra now but I have no Shoddy. Someone test it for me. *Flamethrower sans Life Orb is always a 3HKO. Flamethrower with Life Orb and Fire Blast without it are sometimes a 3HKO. Don't even bother if it's Fire Blast/Life Orb. ** Ice Fang = no. Don't try it. |
