In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Torterra saw the battle between [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It also witnessed the evolution of Turtwig and his 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 him 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.

In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', Torterra was Paul's first choice of Pokémon during his and Ash's [[Full Battle]]. 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.
