It also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', helping Paul's brutal training of {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}. It fired {{m|Hyper Beam}} for Chimchar to dodge, followed by a {{m|Leaf Storm}} which trapped and badly injured Chimchar. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' it was used in the semi-finals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. It was paired off with [[Ash's Staravia]] and was up against [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Holly]]'s {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Paul showed total disregard for Ash, ordering Torterra to blast Farfetch'd with Hyper Beam, not caring that Staravia was hit as well. With Farfetch'd out, Croagunk challenged Torterra and managed to damage it with a powerful Brick Break to the head, similar to its battle against Garchomp. Before Croagunk could follow up, Torterra recharged and hit Croagunk with Leaf Storm, winning the round single-handedly. | It also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', helping Paul's brutal training of {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}.

Torterra appeared again in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' where it saw the battle between [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It also witnessed the evolution of Turtwig and its loss of speed. Later on, it used Frenzy Plant against Paul's Weavile in a practice battle to improve Torterra's reflexes; however, it remained distracted by Ash's Grotle who was in the Pokémon Center at the time. While Ash's Grotle was training to become faster, Torterra came forwards on its own to show it that a Pokémon could still be powerful by coping with its lack of speed with strong defense.

To prove this, it battled [[Ash's Gliscor]] in a practice match. After teaching this, Torterra returned to Paul's camp. Paul, while curious as to where Torterra had gone, did not push the issue. | ||
It appeared again during Ash and Paul's [[Full Battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and was Paul's first choice of Pokémon. Ash substituted {{AP|Buizel}} for {{AP|Gliscor}}, who used {{m|Sand Attack}} and its ability to fly to dodge Giga Drain. However, Paul and Torterra used Frenzy Plant to lull Gliscor into a false sense of security and when Ash continued to attack at close range, Torterra {{m|Crunch}}ed Gliscor's tail and used Giga Drain to sap energy to recover. However, Gliscor used {{m|Fire Fang}} to injure Torterra, and was recalled by Ash. {{AP|Staraptor}} went up against the disadvantaged and tired Torterra, but it became aware that Paul predicted this and Torterra hit with a super-effective {{m|Stone Edge}} before Paul recalled it. | It appeared again during Ash and Paul's [[Full Battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and was Paul's first choice of Pokémon.
