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. | ||
While it was never directly referred to as Paul's strongest Pokémon, his treatment of it indicates that he holds it in high regard. It was used during Paul's battle against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] at [[Amity Square]], and 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. It was one of the very few Pokémon that Paul showed consistent respect for, and throughout its appearances, it wasn't scolded or reprimanded by its Trainer once. | |||
Torterra boasts great strength and longevity, having extensive experience with its defensively oriented battle style. During Ash and Paul's [[Tag Battle]] against {{an|Brock}} and Holly, it single-handedly defeated both {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}} with just a single move each, and in Ash and Paul's [[Full Battle]] at [[Lake Acuity]], it withstood numerous attacks from [[Ash's Gliscor]] before retaliating with its own powerful [[move]] combination. Despite the damage it taken, it remained a dominant force for the rest of the battle, scoring powerful hits against {{AP|Staraptor}} and Chimchar before finishing its earlier job against Gliscor. | |||
