Torterra
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Torterra is a grass/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 525 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 56) and a physical attacking profile. Its Overgrow ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Torterra. Build around what Torterra actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
