[OVERVIEW]
Torterra is an absolute monster of a threat in the BW PU metagame, carrying one of the most deadly offensive presences that works hand in hand with one of the most customizable toolkits in the tier. With it's massive stats in comparison to the tier, it's natural bulk and strength leave it able to fit into many teams. It's typing is incredible both offensively and defensively as well, granting it incredible coverage between it's STAB and access to EdgeQuake, while Torterra possesses monstrous defensive utility with its typing. Torterra thrives off its ability to fit into many teams seamlessly, being a great glue to prevent Electric-types such as Zebstrika from pivoting with Volt Switch, while resisting Ground-type attacks from threats such as opposing Torterra and Gabite. With it's offensive sets, it can quickly threaten to sweep opponents while falling back on it's incredible natural bulk to set up on more passive Pokemon such as Klang and Scraggy. Torterra's versatility can only carry it so far however, as it has a mediocre speed tier leaving it reliant on setup to become a game ending threat. With it's quadruple weakness to Ice-type attacks such as STAB Ice Punch from Sneasel and Ice Beam from faster Water-types such as Simipour and Golduck forcing it to play carefully. Flying-type Pokemon such as Jumpluff and Swanna are additionally able to outspeed it and thwart it with their STAB, however they must be watchful of Stone Edge.
