* Torterra shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Groudon}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.

* Torterra has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].

* Torterra is the heaviest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon.

* When walking to the right in [[Amity Square]], Torterra's sprite shows the left side of Torterra, which is the opposite of how it should appear.

* All Torterra weakness can be countered by rock type.

Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|Chelydridae|snapping turtle}} and an ''{{wp|Ankylosaurus}}'', a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the {{wp|World Turtle}}s in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the {{wp|Black Tortoise}} of various Asian myths. It also may be based on the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles and tortoises#Japan|minogame}}''.

Torterra is a combination of ''tortoise'' and ''terra'' (Latin for ''ground''). ''Terra'' may also refer to ''{{wp|terrapin}}s''. It also bears similarity to ''{{wp|tuatara}}'' (a type of lizard) and ''{{wp|totara}}'' (a type of tree), both native to {{pmin|New Zealand}}.
