"The Grass-Type That Eats Seaking For Breakfast"
Torterra @ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
Nature: Impish / Careful
EV Spread: 252 HP, 252 SpDef, 4 Def/Spe
Moveset:
1. Leech Seed [Grass] / Rock Polish [Rock] / Stealth Rock [Rock]
2. Seed Bomb [Grass] / Wood Hammer [Grass]
3. Earthquake [Ground]
4. Rock Slide [Rock] / Roar [Normal]
Reasons behind Movepool:
1a. Leech Seed for bonus healing.
1b. Rock Polish can help Torterra's mediocre Speed rise to be higher.
1c. Stealth Rock helps Torterra do more than take hits in setting up.
2. For a Physical Grass STAB attack, Seed Bomb and Wood Hammer are both excellent choices. If one does not wish to suffer from recoil, then Seed Bomb is the way to go.
3. Earthquake for obvious Ground STAB.
4a. Rock Slide takes care of its four weaknesses without having to switch into anything.
4b. Even without Rock Slide, you can Roar your weaknesses away anyway. Roar also works well with Stealth Rock.
Torterra also works well in all non-ice weather conditions, so he can make a good teammate to Tyranitar, Politoed, and Ninetales.
