Torterra is the Grass/Ground-type Starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region, evolved from Grotle and Turtwig. Its first appearance in the anime was when Paul, Ash's new rival in Sinnoh region, used one. Usually, a Torterra in the wild has up to a few Pokémon living in the tree on its back; generally small, pre-evolved Pokémon.
Appearance[]

Torterra is a huge, four-legged turtle Pokémon. It is mainly gray, green, and brown. Its most noticeable feature is that there is a tree and three spike-like rocks on its back, which gave the 'Terra' part of its name, meaning 'earth' in Latin. It has two silver spikes on either side of its huge head.
Etymology[]
Torterra is probably named from "Tortoise" and Terra, which means earth in Latin.
