}}

'''Ash's Torterra''' (Japanese: '''サトシのドダイトス''' ''Satoshi's Dodaitose'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].

Overall, it has taken part in five of Ash's [[Gym]] battles. As a Turtwig, it defeated Roark's Cranidos in [[DP016|their first battle]], and [[DP018|in the rematch]], defeated the newly [[Evolution|evolved]] Rampardos, giving Ash his first {{DL|Badge|Coal Badge|Sinnoh Badge}}.  

In ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', Turtwig was Ash's first Pokémon in his [[Eterna Gym]] Battle against Gardenia, it went 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, this was because of Cherubi's ability {{a|Chlorophyll}}, this made Cherubi faster as it was [[Harsh sunlight|very sunny]]. Cherubi then used {{m|Solar Beam}}, but Turtwig was able to dodge. Ash thinking that Solar Beam couldn't be activated straight away and had Turtwig use Razor Leaf, but Cherubi countered with an instant Solar Beam, which was instant 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 on and then 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 had her Turtwig use Leaf Storm, which Turtwig was able to dodge by jumping, allowing the Synthesis to finish. Ash's Turtwig was then able to hit Gardenia's Turtwig with Razor Leaf, both Turtwig then used Tackle at each other, but only Ash's Turtwig was able to remain standing, winning it the rematch of Turtwigs. 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.
