Paul's Torterra: Difference between revisions

Unlike the majority of [[Paul]]'s Pokémon, who are either brutal like their Trainer or completely indifferent towards Paul's attitude, Torterra is calm and somewhat kindhearted, as it actually went out of its way, against Paul's wishes, to help {{AP|Grotle}} cope with its lack of {{stat|Speed}} upon [[Evolution|evolving]] and taught its pre-evolved form how to use {{stat|Defense}} to make up for the lack of Speed.

Nevertheless, Torterra remains completely obedient and loyal towards Paul, and despite its occasional acts of kindness, it follows his Trainer's orders without hesitation. This was seen when Torterra, along with Paul's other Pokémon, were ganging up on {{AP|Chimchar}} as part of the Chimp Pokémon's harsh training, despite Chimchar being visibly exhausted and injured. Despite this, Torterra still showed no pleasure in these brutal methods.

Despite never being referred to as Paul's strongest Pokémon, he was used during Paul's battle against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] at [[Amity Square]], even though many of Paul's other Pokémon had already fallen to the [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], he continued battling. When Torterra was defeated, Paul forfeited the battle. Torterra also boasts great strength and longevity. It is one of the very few Pokémon that Paul shows respect for, and throughout its appearances, it wasn't scolded or reprimanded by its Trainer once.
