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 石塚運昇 Unshō Ishizuka in Japanese and Billy Beach in English.
Torterra made its first appearance in Top-Down Training. It was used in battle against Cynthia's Garchomp. Despite having many powerful attacks such as Giga Drain and Frenzy Plant, it was not able to put up a fight against Garchomp and it was defeated easily.
It also appeared in Smells Like Team Spirit! where it was used in a tag battle tournament in which Ash and his friends were also participating. It was paired off with Ash's Staravia and was up against Brock's Croagunk and Holly's Farfetch'd. It managed to defeat Croagunk and Farfetch'd easily. With this win Ash and Paul advanced to the finals.
It appeared again DP100. While watching Ash's Turtwig battle Paul's Honchkrow and saw it evolve into Grotle, it knew what was going to happen to it's speed. While Grotle was training to become faster, Torterra showed it that, although it wasn't fast anymore, it could still be powerful. Paul did not appear to approve of this help.
