Torterra’s Most Powerful Moves

Leaf Blade is aphysical grass-type movelearned at level 34 (mastered at 45) with anattack power of 135. Headlong Rush is aphysical ground-type moveand Torterra’s last move learned at level 57 (mastered at 71) with anattack power of 150. Wood Hammer,a grass-type physical move, is this Pokémon’s best one with a whopping overallattack power of 180
While Double-Edge is a normal-type move, its attack power maxes out atan impressive 120for Torterra and provides great general coverage with 15 power points (PP). Perhaps most important, Double-Edge is a physical move like the others—Torterra’s move specialty. This Pokémon’s base attack stat is its highest, and its defense is the second-highest.

Torterra’s Base Stats
The rest, especially speed, come in either average or a bit below. This means physical attacks rather than special attacks will always be Torterra’s forte inPokémon Legends: Arceus. Many other powerful moves such as Hyper Beam or Stone Edge can be learned for a price from Zisu at the Training Grounds in Jubiife Village, but they are special attacks. This Pokémon’s best moves are learned naturally as it levels up.
Torterra is the final evolutionary form of Turtwig, which can be found in Cottonsedge Prarie in the Crimson Mirelands (but an Alpha Torterra can be caught at the Home of Trials). Torterra’s power is above average yet not among the strongest. Be sure to also take advantage of itsbest nature, which adds a further 10 percent attack increase.
