In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Ash used Torterra as his first Pokémon during his rematch with Volkner, sending him against Volkner's {{p|Electivire}}. Despite Torterra's massive type advantage, Electivire was able to counter almost all of his moves and defeat him with a powerful {{m|Ice Punch}}. | In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Ash used Torterra as his first Pokémon during his rematch with Volkner, sending him against Volkner's {{p|Electivire}}.

Ash used Torterra as his fifth Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. He was sent out against Paul's {{p|Drapion}}, whose {{m|Toxic Spikes}} {{status|poison}}ed him instantly. He battled well and was able to cause Drapion some damage with his Energy Ball and Leaf Storm attacks, but his Rock Climb attack was stopped cold by Drapion, who proceeded to knock him down with {{m|Poison Fang}}. Torterra healed himself with Synthesis, but despite this, he was immediately defeated by Drapion's super effective {{m|Pin Missile}} barrage. | Ash used Torterra as his fifth Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''.

As a Turtwig, Torterra was very brave. Similarly to [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], he helped take care of sick or injured Pokémon and kept the peace between them. If there was feud between other Pokémon, Turtwig would be the mannered one and break them up. He could be a little reckless at times, ignoring Ash's commands to dodge in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]''. He was quite stubborn and would not give up, no matter how hard the challenge, another trait he shared with Bulbasaur. He was also quite affectionate, latching on to Ash's head as a Turtwig. | As a Turtwig, Torterra was very brave.

After evolving into Grotle, he became a lot less active due to his weight gain, still battling well but taking things slowly. As he grew and evolved, Torterra became quite serious in everything he did and never had any issues listening to Ash's commands, unlike when he was still Turtwig and Grotle. | After evolving into Grotle, he became a lot less active due to his weight gain, still battling well but taking things slowly. His strategy for battle changed as a result, focusing more on tanking hits over dodging them, something he struggled to accept until getting help from [[Paul's Torterra]]. As he grew and evolved, Torterra became quite serious in everything he did and never had any issues listening to Ash's commands, unlike when he was still Turtwig and Grotle. | ||
