In ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', Turtwig was Ash's first Pokémon in his [[Eterna Gym]] Battle against Gardenia, going up against her {{p|Cherubi}} again. Turtwig started off with Tackle, which was dodged. Its Razor Leaf was dodged as well, showing Cherubi's speed, which was boosted due to is Ability {{a|Chlorophyll}}. Cherubi then used {{m|Solar Beam}}, but Turtwig was able to dodge. Ash thought that Solar Beam couldn't be activated straight away and had Turtwig use Razor Leaf, but Cherubi countered with an instant Solar Beam, activated faster due to the harsh sunlight, destroying Razor Leaf and hitting Turtwig. Cherubi then used {{m|Magical Leaf}} and Ash recalled Turtwig before the attack could hit. Later it was called out to face Gardenia's Turtwig again. Ash's Turtwig used Tackle which Gardenia's Turtwig dodged and used Leaf Storm. However, Ash's Turtwig was able to dodge by jumping off a tree. Ash's Turtwig used Bite but Gardenia's Turtwig used Leech Seed, stopping Bite and draining Ash's Turtwig of energy. Turtwig was able to withstand it and used Synthesis, however Gardenia's Turtwig used Leaf Storm, which Ash's Turtwig was able to dodge by jumping, allowing the Synthesis to finish. After Ash's Turtwig hit Gardenia's Turtwig with Razor Leaf, both Turtwig used Tackle at each other, but only Ash's Turtwig was able to remain standing, finally defeating Gardenia's Turtwig. Ash kept Turtwig in, but the Leech Seed was still in effect. It then went up against Gardenia's final Pokémon, {{p|Roserade}}. Turtwig used Tackle but the Bouquet Pokémon tripped up Turtwig with {{m|Grass Knot}}. Roserade then used {{m|Weather Ball}}, which was a {{type|Fire}} attack due to the harsh sunlight, defeating Turtwig. | In ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', Turtwig was Ash's first Pokémon in his [[Eterna Gym]] Battle against Gardenia, going up against her {{p|Cherubi}} again.

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 was called back before being defeated. | In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' Turtwig was used in the semi-finals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. It was paired off with [[Paul's Chimchar]], who was still weak from earlier training, and was up against against a Zangoose and a {{p|Metagross}}. The two quickly become overwhelmed due to Chimchar being too weak and afraid of Zangoose to make any attack and soon got caught in Zangoose's claws and had to be saved by Turtwig, who was seriously injured as a result. Chimchar made up for this by protecting Turtwig from a {{m|Fire Blast}} attack. Realizing that not even reliving the traumatic event of being attacked by Zangoose could motivate Chimchar to do Blaze, Paul gave up on Chimchar. For the remainder of the battle Paul refused to give Chimchar any orders. Consequently, Ash gave Chimchar commands from then on, and the three soon won the battle. | ||
After learning Energy Ball from {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}} in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', 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 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.
