Should my Torterra have double special attack natures or double speed natures?

Question

Im getting a Torterra in Platinum and am trying to decide whether to get a torterra with double speed natures to make it really fast or double special attack natures to give it a strong giga drain and/or leaf storm. Tell me which one would be better for it and why. Also, tell me a good moveset for it with the natures you say would be better for torterra. Thank You in advanced,

   Swampert

My bro says go with double special attack natures.

Try it.

You could always have single special attack nature, and single speed.

Go for speed cause torterra could use more speed

Answer 2

My torterra has awesome speed and attack he pwns every one with

his earthquake. I would suggest speed. A good moveset would be

earthquake, energyball, stone edge, and wood hammer/razor leaf.

Earthquake becuase well it is an awesome move with stab easily

pwns any non flying/ levitate/grass pokemon. Energy ball becuase

some pokemon have extremely high defense so a special attack is

good for a just in case move. Stone edge for type coverage for all of

his weaknesses look it up fire, bug, flying, and ice. Wood hamer/

razor leaf you need to compliment his attack with a good phyical

grass type move.

If you're not going Sp.Atk, don't  run Energy Ball.

Answer 3

First, I'll assume that you just want to finish the main quest in Platinum. Please tell me if this assumption is wrong, and I'll convert this to a comment.

If this is for the main quest, giga drain and leaf storm on a Torterra are both worse than wood hammer, so don't use anything that raises its special attack. If you decide to use curse, speed will also be useless, so go with a physical attack raising nature like adamant, lonely, or brave. If you decide to use swords dance, your Torterra will be able to raise its physical attack, but its speed will stay in the range that lets it outspeed some of the opponents. A speed raising nature, like hasty or jolly, would be especially useful on this kind of moveset.

Regardless of which nature you have, experience and levels will be more effective than natures, so it's probably a good idea to battle every trainer when you enter each area for the first time.
