Turtwig (really Torterra) for Top Tier

This guy is just amazing. He has super effective stabs against half of the gyms within the game. He also gets crunch for coverage, which takes out one other gym. In fact, the only gym where he is useless in is the grass gym. After Turtwig evolves into Torterra, he gets earthquake, which is insanely useful in the gyms, against your rival, and against parts of the elite four.

A set I personally used when I got to Torterra was
item: big root
-Giga Drain
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Toxic

Giga drain is for decent healing, earthquake was the go to move for damage when it wasn't resisted, crunch was the last coverage move for those pesky flying and ghost types (cough*drifblim*cough), and toxic was the filler because there were, IMO, better pokemon to use stone edge on. Wood hammer could replace toxic or giga drain, but then you either lose healing, or have nothing to prevent yourself from getting either amnesia stalled or evasion stalled, both of which do occur within the game.



Actually, now that I think about it, do you even get stone edge before completing the game?

Possibly more to come.

Can you put that into the format in the OP? Thanks a bunch.
