      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.

    For someone who hates Torterra because it is slow, you sure flip 180 on caring about speed when it comes to Snorlax.

    • @veteranviggo1581
      @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.

    Just completed a run with this end team! Decided to play a bit faster than normal and managed to beat Cynthia within 22:10 of game time (a pretty good time for me, I like to explore more typically).
    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.
    In other words, had a lot of fun trying this out!

    It's very easy to get Torterra by the time you fight Maylene and it absolutely destroys her Meditite and Lucario with Bite and EQ respectively.

    • @theghostnextdoor4948

      Earthquake hits Meditite harder than Crunch due to both being neutral against and EQ being stronger and getting STAB.

    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

  • @athanasiosdemertzis8847
    @athanasiosdemertzis8847 Před 5 lety +3

    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.

    This was awesome! Torterra is my fav Sinnoh starter and in def gonna try this Team one day! But as for right now with the current playthrough Im doing of platinum, my team is:
    - Torterra
    - Staraptor
    - Spiritomb
    - Garchomp
    - Lucario
    - Magmortar
    The final four being Pokémon I’ve never used in an actual playthrough before. I’ve used all these Pokémon, but just not the final four in a platinum run. And this team has been great! Other members I used previously during this run were Floatzel, Luxray, Kricketune (hilarious in game cry and first time using one).

  • @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.

    I actually used Crobat as my Flying type. She was ridiculously helpful against Gardenia, Fantina, and her Speed was great in countering enemies. Also, she saved my sorry, 15 year old behind with her +Defense nature, surviving Garchomp's Dragon Rush (after an unlucky crit on my Vaporeon and no more Revives) on 12HP and landing a final blow with Cross Poison.
    Needless to say, I never doubted the Zubat line ever again.

    • @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.

    If you’re up for it, you could remove Gallade and use Toxicroak. As for a replacement, that’s up to you, but I think it’d be a pretty alright Pokemon! For a move set, I recommend:
    - Sludge Bomb

    -X-Scissor
    -Knock - Off

    • @jackmatthews134

      Benny why knock off? It’s only got twenty power in gen 4. You’d probably be better off using sucker punch or even theif, since you also get to keep the item.
      Also, cross chop is an egg move, which they’re not using, and it doesn’t learn close combat

    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.

    -torterra lv.40 male
    cut, withdraw, wood hammer and earthquake
    -togekiss lv.41 male
    fly, yawn, aerial ace (will replace) and aura sphere
    -luxray lv.40 female
    roar, leer, bite and thunder fang
    -lucario lv.40 female
    quick attack, screech, aura sphere and flash cannon
    -alakazam lv46 female
    (over leveled because i was using her to level grind riolu/lucario because special attack evs and hoping that would cause lucario's to go up if it even works that way? let me know if i'm wrong or not)

    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.

    I chose out my team awhile before finding these videos, but I'm glad to say that 4 of my pokemon were mention in this best team with the other two in the sinnoh best team.
    Infernape (trade then reset from Diamond), Torrterra, Staraptor, Drapion( when it hatches), Gallade (traded from platnium), and Gyarados (from HeartGold).
    Only two flaws: Half my team knows Close Combat, with the other half knowing crunch/bite. And its all physcial attackers.
    I also have Empoleon, Gengar, luxio and another chimchar but they are going to do Contest only.

    I personally like torterra. Its my favorite grass starter because of its typing. I usually dont like grass starters. It really does get very good moveset variety which is cool. Its main downside is the speed, but it doesnt bother me because I can put other pkmn on the team to cover that need.

    gyarados is the real mvp because it can destroy cynthia's entire team. the moveset should be waterfall, dragon dance, earthquake, and ice fang. set up when spiritomb is out and after 6 dragon dances you can destroy her team.

    I get why people don’t like torterra but I personally love using it it’s so useful in my opinion and yes it’s slow but that’s a small price to pay for the fun moveset plus you can compensate the speed with another Pokemon like the staraptor line as you mentioned

    Way to keep cool mystic, and thanks for not burning, or icing Torterra to hard (see what did there?).
