Checks and Counters
===================
**Flying Types**:
**Bug Types**:
**Ice Types**:
**Fire Types**:
I've got quite a few sets ATM, so please say if you feel any aren't needed :). I'm not the best NU-er, so any advice would be much appreciated.
- Very versatile.
- Can run many sets, with many luring certain threats.
- Strong and bulky.
- Low speed means even the faster sets can be outspeed.
- STABs hit most of the tier for neutral damage.
- Typing is a double - edged sword as Torterra is crippled by its ice, bug, flying and fire type weaknesses.

Moves
========
- Synthesis heals Torterra's health, which compliments it's bulk.
- Wood Hammer and Earthquake are powerful moves which stop Torterra from being passive.
- Seed Bomb is another option for if recoil isn't wanted, however it missed out on many of the KOs Wood Hammer gets.
- Stealth Rock lets it set hazards and compress roles on the team.
- Stone Edge is another option to deal with Flying types like Swellow, Charizard and Scyther that can otherwise beat this set.
- Toxic can also be used to deal chip damage to opponents but is usually not as good as the previous options.
Set Details
========
- EVs and nature mean it avoids the OHKO from all moves bar Abomasnow's Blizzard.
- Outspeeds uninvested Torterra.
- Leftovers maximises bulk with its gradual health restoration.
- Shell Armour stops critical hits, the bane of many other stall Pokemon.
