As a Turtwig, Torterra was very brave. Similarly to [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], he helped care for sick or injured Pokémon and kept the peace between them. If there was a feud between other Pokémon, Turtwig would be the mannered one and break them up. He could sometimes be a little reckless, ignoring Ash's commands to dodge in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]''. He was quite stubborn and would not give up, no matter how hard the challenge, another trait he shared with Bulbasaur. | As a Turtwig, Torterra was very brave.

He was a brave yet kind Pokémon with high confidence even when he was still small for his size. He had a strong jaw, as he was often seen latching himself onto people and Pokémon's heads, tails, hats, and appendages to attack or show affection.

After evolving into Grotle, he became less active due to his weight gain, still battling well but taking things slowly. His strategy for battle changed as a result, focusing more on tanking hits over dodging them, something he struggled to accept until getting help from [[Paul's Torterra]]. As he grew and evolved, Torterra became quite serious in everything he did and never had any issues listening to Ash's commands, unlike when he was still Turtwig and Grotle. As a Grotle, he was capable of growing nuts on his trees. The gang noted that this meant that Grotle had completely adjusted to its evolution from Turtwig. | After evolving into Grotle, he became less active due to his weight gain, still battling well but taking things slowly.
