Comments

you can remove Wood Hammer. you can remove Leaf Storm too. you can replace wood hammer with frenzy plant, Leaf storm with earthquake for protection against fire, fighting, steel. you can remove crunch and keep stone edge

Frenzy-plant is a terrible move for Torterra, it is a special attack and it takes recharge.

Answer 1

You don't need three moves of the same type. Doesn't it make more sense to have a bunch of different types of moves? I would put moves like Stone Edge, Earthquake, or even neutral coverage like Return or Secret Power on your Torterra, getting rid of Giga Drain and Leaf Storm. I assume it has higher Attack, so Leaf Storm and Giga Drain are pretty weak on it.

Never use a recharge move like Frenzy Plant. It sounds tasty with the 150 Base Power, but that strength gets cut in half, in terms of damage per turn, because of recharge. 75 Base Power is only a little stronger than Giga Drain.

Tactical move suggestions also include Synthesis, Swords Dance, Rock Polish, Stealth Rock, and Curse. All of these moves really suit Torterra's fighting style, so choose whichever you may want!

Never use a recharge move except in Gen 1.

Answer 5

My own Torterra has the moves Crunch, Stone Edge, Earthquake, and Frenzy Plant. Crunch is a descent move with good accuracy. Stone Edge is used to deal with Fire/ice/flying/bug types so it is a must have for torterra.
Earthquake is also good against fire types and is an all around good move since it has high attack power and good accuracy. Now for Frenzy Plant...

Many people dislike it because of the recharge phase after use. However, what I people do not take into account is the fact that it is a great finishing move to quickly end a battle because of the 150 base stat. Also, during normal game play, one can simply switch torterra out if Frenzy Plant fainted the opposing pokemon. This more or less gets rid of the rechaging.

Furthermore, I only use Frenzy Plant when I down to only torterra left, when against a particularly pesky water/ground/rock pokemon, or when the opponent is on his or her last pokemon. Really, Frenzy plant is a great move if one knows how and when to use it.

Sorry for the long explanation.

Stock-pile: Boost those Defenses
Synthesis: Healing
Toxic: Status
Leech-seed: Passive and Healing

Comments

People already have an excuse to use Flying types against this guy (Flying is super effective) so you probably shouldn't have your only attacking move be uneffective against them.

---

I changed it too leech seed partially because I just found out Stock-pile+Sand-tomb is impossible on Grotle. Also I can switch when a Flying type comes in. Most NU Flying types will be stalled by Grotle here.

Answer 8

Earthquake

Stone Edge

Wood Hammer

Crunch

Move #1:-Stone Edge
Move #2:-Earthquake

Move #4:-Superpower

Choice Banded hard hitter Torterra.
Sp Def ev's even out defenses, maxed attack, with a few in Hp.
Wood Hammer hits insanely hard, at the price of a good bit of your Hp, so be it.
Earthquake is STAB, covers a lot of types, etc.
Stone Edge is coverage, mainly for Ice and Flying, while Superpower is that last hit coverage that everyone loves and despises at the same time.
