Torterra has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (188 Defense / 216 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Torterra deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Torterra in Pokemon GO?
Torterra's best moveset is Razor Leaf (fast) with Stone Edge (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Torterra's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Torterra takes super effective damage from Ice, Bug, Fire, Flying-type moves. It is double weak to Ice (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Electric, Ground, Rock, so avoid those types against it.
What is Torterra's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Torterra reaches 3,318 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,934 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Torterra?
A perfect 15/15/15 Torterra shows 1,677 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 2,096 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Torterra better than regular Torterra?
Shadow Torterra deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Torterra in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Grotle (100 Candy). It is currently a 3-Star Raids raid boss. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Torterra be shiny in Pokemon GO?
