After learning Energy Ball from {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}}, Turtwig didn't battle again until the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Quagsire}}, but it was called back before being defeated. | After learning Energy Ball from {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}}, Turtwig didn't battle again until the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Quagsire}}, but it was called back before being defeated. | ||
Like many of Ash's Pokémon, Turtwig's battle style was based on its {{stat|speed}}, a factor that Ash focused on even more after seeing Gardenia's Turtwig in action. However, in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' Turtwig evolved into {{p|Grotle}} during a battle against [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It quickly became apparent that, due to its new body being larger and heavier, Grotle's speed had diminished, and Grotle fumbled and fell down a lot in the battle. The newly-evolved Grotle had high expectations of itself, well exemplified in the same episode. During the night, it went out to try to improve its speed. However, it failed to regain its speed and stumbled over from time to time. This was initially upsetting but [[Paul's Torterra]] provided some unexpected help by showing Grotle that it could rely on {{stat|defense}} instead. | Like many of Ash's Pokémon, Turtwig's battle style was based on its {{stat|speed}}, a factor that Ash focused on even more after seeing Gardenia's Turtwig in action.

In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', it was shown that Grotle became fatigued from walking a lot and from its increased weight. It had to be carried by [[Brock's Happiny]] for a portion of the journey. | In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', it was shown that Grotle became fatigued from walking a lot and from its increased weight.
