      Grass was always the starter choice for me between me and my brothers. Add to that with my favorite element being Earth, Torterra being Grass/Ground (aka literal Earth) and being the CONTINENT Pokemon. Game Freak basically created my Spirit Pokemon if there ever was one.

      @veteranviggo1581 Před 5 lety +46

      Snorlax doesn’t have as many weaknesses as Torterra, and I think it’s also a little more defensive. The types Torterra has are much better offence than defence, and if it can’t outspeed, it can get OHKOed by Ice Beam. Not because it’s a bad pokemon, but I would say Snorlax is a bit easier to play with, even though it’s slower.

  • @nis1002
    @nis1002 Před 4 lety +83

    I know I know, it’s been a year since this has been released, but I have to defend Torterra.
    Yes, I understand that people may not like his stats but a Pokémon starter is supposed to be reliable in all situations.
    So, with his giga drain, as maybe every plant type has, he has an attack none of the other starters have. So he is pretty strong in the numerous caves in Sinnoh. You can rely on him everytime it gets close and you don’t have any heals. In addition, he is strong / useful against
    Every gym leader except for the ice type
    2. and 4. Elite 4, maybe even the 3. one
    Cynthias Spiritomb, Milotic, Lucario and Garchomp
    Of course, Torterra doesn’t have type advantages against all of them, but I’ve been playing platinum for 500 hours now and 400 belong to my Torterra edition. I’ve tried everything I could and my conclusion of him as a starter is:
    He’s awesome! Just cover his weaknesses with the other 5 Pokémon and bam - you’re the one who rocks the Sinnoh region.

    But due to the speed at which I was playing, I didn't end up filling out the entire moveset for each Pokémon, as by the end the highest level was my level 52 Gyarados. Thankfully, as it turns out 6 dragon dances is just enough to sweep Cynthia's entire lineup.

    torterra is great with the right team and moveset. in addition to earthquake and woodhammer, i use leech seed (or synthesis) and curse (along with big root as a held item). that really optimizes his bulk and makes speed less of an issue because he can take a hit. I also used a Lopunny with agility and baton pass and a Bronzong with trick room so I had setups to mitigate his speed issue. He tore through half of Cynthia's team no problem

    First of all, Torterra is my favorite mon from Gen 4.
    And after having said that, in Platinum you can get Gible in the Cave that has an entrance exactly below the Cycling Path. In Platinum you do NOT need Strength to access the place where Gible is located and I think you can also find Earthquake there as well.
    As for my team:
    - Torterra.
    - Ponyta / Houndoum.
    - Bibarel for the HM Slave.
    - I prefer Crobat than Staraptor.
    - Guarados.
    - The Sphinx line I guess.

  • @hbarudi
    @hbarudi Před 5 lety +1

    Suggestions: 1. on torterra, choose 1 of crunch or rock slide and for the last attack, choose worry seed. If they have levitate, use worry seed, then earthquake them on the next turn.
    2. on staraptor, you can use giga impact (buyable tm) instead of take down and avoid recoil, and keep fly as the sole flying type damaging attack and use the next slot for defog hm. Close combat is a useful attack on this pokemon, but having gallade on your team can also let you consider another attack in this slot such as quick attack (always attack first), aerial ace (never miss), or agility (get more speed). Steel wing if you are ok with using single use tms on your pokemon.
    3. Why leaf blade and earthquake on gallade since you have such type coverage on your starter? you can use x scissor for coverage on gallade which is a tm you can reobtain later in battle points. For the 4th attack, you can use slash, night slash, even false swipe to be able to catch pokemon and possibly hypnosis also for sleeping them and catching pokemon, but does not work if you used worry seed by your starter.
    4. Houndoom, why physical attacks on him when the special attack is better than attack, instead do flamethrower, dark pulse, nasty plot, and sludge bomb or shadow ball.
    5. Lickylicky or possibly just use Bibarel and give it the remaining hms you need.
    6. For a water type, I don't like what magikarp evolves into. Pick another water type such as floatzel. Can teach it a water hm if you can't fit all your hms on the other pokemon such as bibarel. You can use waterfall on floatzel while bibarel can get surf, floatzel can learn ice fang and crunch, and you can give it the non buyable tm iron tail.
    After some analysis, it has come to be known that 2 types can hit the entire national dex including modern generations of pokemon either neutral damage or super effective. Those types are ghost and fighting, the same type as marshadow, this also applies to earlier generations since the 7th generation is the most type diverse generation and this condition still applies. But not for inversion battles in the newer games.

  • @James_noob
    @James_noob Před 5 lety +18

    • @samgossard5213
      @samgossard5213 Před 4 lety +2

      Yeah gyarados is probably the best Pokémon to counter cynthias garchomp since it doesn’t have rock coverage, gyarados’ intimidate makes tanking garchomps physical attacks easier, and ice fang hits garchomp really hard especially if you use dragon dance.

    I recently did a playthrough of Platinum and chose Torterra as that was the starter I chose when I first played. Torterra's earthquake has been the carry of my team. During double battles, he is teamed with a Staraptor, which makes earthquake that much better. When I first played, I had regretted choosing Torterra so much that I started a new game when I couldn't beat the 7th gym because I was too lazy to actually grind.

    - Garchomp

    @dethtroy2185 Před 5 lety +4

    my problem with torterra is not it's speed, but lack of grass options to back up it's great attack stat, it's special attack is a joke at 75, and there are only four grass moves to use with it's physical attack even to this day in gen 7, and only one of those moves is gotten via level up Razor Leaf, the other moves are Wood Hammer (which requires a Heart Scale), Seed Bomb (Move Tutor), and Bullet Seed (which is only available in the gen 4 games as a TM), but why would you even bother with the last one, another problem is Platinum compared to D/P definitely makes things harder for this thing, since two gym leaders, Crasher Wake and Volkner have counter measures on their platinum teams to deal with it, when it should have an easy time taking on both.

    Tbh, they totally overlooked picking up a Shinx in the super early game, Luxray is such a cool electric type Pokémon to have on your team, especially considering how early you can get it.

      It's cool, but not that good. The only decent physical electric move it learns is Thunder Fang. Also Shinx with no-STAB Tackle is pretty painful in the early game.
