Paul's Torterra (Japanese: シンジのドダイトス Shinji's Dodaitose) is a Pokémon owned by Paul. It is his strongest Pokémon and his starter as well. It is voiced by Unshō Ishizuka in Japanese and Billy Beach in English.
Torterra made its first appearance in Top-Down Training! where it was used in a battle against Cynthia's Garchomp. Despite having many powerful attacks such as Giga Drain and Frenzy Plant, it was defeated easily.
It also appeared in Smells Like Team Spirit! where it was used in the semi-finals of the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition. It was paired off with Ash's Staravia and was up against Brock's Croagunk and Holly's Farfetch'd. It defeated both its opponents single-handedly.
Torterra appeared again in Aiding the Enemy! where it saw the battle between Ash's Turtwig and Paul's Honchkrow. It also witnessed the evolution of Turtwig and its loss of speed. While Grotle was training to become faster, Torterra showed it that a Pokémon could still be powerful by coping with its lack of speed with strong defense. To prove this, it battled against Ash's Gliscor in a practice match.
Torterra appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback in DP128 watching Reggie's battle against Brandon at the Battle Pyramid.
It appeared again during Ash and Paul's full battle in DP131. It fought against Ash's Gliscor and Ash's Staraptor before being recalled. In DP132, it fought against Ash's Chimchar, where it was shown to control its Stone Edge at will to mow down its faster opponents. It then defeated Gliscor before being recalled when Ash's Pikachu was sent out.
