Torterra (Japanese: ドダイトス Dodaitose) is a dual-type Grass/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Grotle starting at level 32. It is the final form of Turtwig.
Biology
Torterra is a bulky quadruped Pokémon resembling a tortoise, with a large shell covering its back. There is a single, oak-like tree and three triangular, stony extensions resembling mountain peaks on the top of the shell. There is a patch of brown, resembling soil, next to the tree. A white rim surrounds the shell, and forms a diamond-shaped continuation on the front. Torterra's body appears sectioned, with the upper half being green and the lower half brown. Its mouth is jagged and at the end of its snout is a dark brown beak, giving it the appearance of a snapping turtle. Its lower jaw is green and there are two large spikes protruding from its cheeks. Torterra's small, red eyes and are encircled by a black ring. Its legs are thick and they have four toes each, which appear as if they are actually jagged stones. There are three toes on the front and one on the heel.
Torterra's large and clean shell supports the lives of many small Pokémon, which occasionally gather and build their nests upon the shell. Some are born and spend their entire life there. Torterra migrate in search of water, creating the illusion of "moving forests". However, it is typically immobile.
In the anime
Major appearances

Pokédex entries

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Tru
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Diamond owns a Turtwig nicknamed Tru, which evolved into a Grotle, and then again into a Torterra fairly quickly (both times with Chimler). While it, just like in the games, did not lose speed upon either of its evolutions, it was never very fast to begin with, a trait duly noted since its Gym match with Crasher Wake's Quagsire, where it was able to take the win with a powerful Giga Drain. After being returned to its rightful owner, it underwent training on Iron Island to overcome its speed loss by using a single, perfectly accurate Razor Leaf that is so fast that Diamond cannot even finish the attack order before it hits. Attesting much to the boy's childishness, he named it the "Razor Leaf Dia Special Mach One and Only".
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
Torterra is the final form of Jun's starter Pokémon, Turtwig. It made it debut in this form in Hareta's Heart's Desire, where it was easily beaten by Koya's Absol.
In the TCG

Trivia
- Torterra shares the same species type with Groudon. Both of them are known as the Continent Pokémon.
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Torterra.
- Torterra has the highest Defense base stat and lowest Speed base stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
- Torterra is the heaviest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon.

- Torterra is the heaviest Grass-type Pokémon.
Origin
Torterra has aspects of a snapping turtle and an ankylosaurus, a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the World Turtles in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the Black Tortoise of various Asian myths. It also may be based on the minogame.
Name origin
Torterra is a combination of tortoise and terra (Latin for ground). Terra may also refer to terrapins. It also bears similarity to tuatara (a type of lizard) and totara (a type of tree), both native to New Zealand.
Dodaitose may be a combination of 土 do (earth or ground), 大 dai (large), and tortoise. It may also involve 土台 dodai (foundation).
