Torterra (ドダイトス Dodaitosu) is a Grass/Ground-type Pokémon. It evolves from Grotle at level 32, and is the final evolution of Turtwig.

Biology

Physiology

Torterra is a large Pokémon that resembles a cross between an ankylosaur and a tortoise. It has a dark-green shell on its back with a white rim and diamond shape, along with a large tree on top. Three spiked rocks also line its back, and part of its shell appears to be covered in dirt. Torterra's body is mostly dark-green above the midsection, but underneath, its body is brown. To keep its balance and support its weight, it has a short, pointed tail and muscular legs tipped with rock-like nails. Torterra also has two silver spikes on both sides of its head, red eyes, and a black, kite-shaped beak.

Behavior

In the wild, Torterra dwell in natural areas with greenery. They usually migrate in search of clean water, which makes them being mistaken for "moving forests". Many Pokemon tend to reside on Torterra's backs and spend their entire lives there, which Torterra don't mind.

As seen with Ash's Torterra, it can be serious and always listens to its trainer. One also lets some other Pokémon live on its back.
