Best Torterra Builds in Pokemon Champions

Torterra has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The bulky physical attacker is the safest option, while the setup build can turn Torterra into a late-game win condition.

Build 1: Bulky Grass Ground Attacker

This is the main Torterra build. It uses strong physical attacks and useful typing to pressure Water, Rock, Ground and Electric-type Pokemon.

Build 2: Shell Smash Sweeper

This version focuses on setup. It can become dangerous after one boost, but it needs support to survive the setup turn.

Torterra Stats

Torterra stats are shown below for easy comparison.

Best Items for Torterra

Sitrus Berry is the safest item for bulky Torterra because it gives immediate recovery after taking a hit.

White Herb is the best item for Shell Smash because it restores Torterra’s lowered defenses after setup.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Torterra

Torterra works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Torterra Is Good Against

Torterra is strong against Water, Rock, Ground and Electric-type Pokemon. Its Ground typing makes it immune to Electric-type attacks.

Earthquake and Wood Hammer give Torterra strong physical pressure into bulky teams.

Potential Counters for Torterra

Torterra is heavily threatened by Ice-type attacks and also dislikes Fire, Flying and Bug-type damage.

Torterra Pokemon Champions Regulation History

This section keeps older Torterra builds available in case a previous regulation returns.

Should You Use Torterra?

Torterra is worth using if your team wants a bulky Grass and Ground-type attacker with strong Electric immunity.
