Pokédex entry
"Although it might not be obvious at a distance, this Torterra is actually a Mimikyu who has put a lot of time, effort and stolen RC cars into creating a very large disguise, and one that acts more like a tank if anything. Why a Torterra was picked isn't currently clear, but the fake tree offers an amazing observation point for the driver."


Moves:

  1. Bulldoze - Bulldoze deals damage and lowers the target's Speed by one stage. Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each.
  2. Roar - In the wild, Roar causes the target Pokémon to flee if they are of a lower level, and the battle ends. In trainer battles (including linked battles), Roar forces the target to switch out of battle (regardless of level) and is replaced with another Pokémon in the trainer's team. Pokémon with the abilities Soundproof or Suction Cups or those rooted by Ingrain are not affected by Roar.
  3. Protect - Protect prevents any attacks targeted at the user from striking, for the duration of the turn. It has priority +4 so will activate before most other moves. The move functions identically to Detect. The accuracy of Protect decreases by 13 each time it is used consecutively after itself or Detect, Endure, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Spiky Shield, King's Shield, or Baneful Bunker
  4. Solar Beam - The user of Solar Beam will absorb light on the first turn. On the second turn, Solar Beam deals damage. During intense sunlight or when holding a Power Herb, Solar Beam executes in one turn. During rain, hail or a sandstorm its power decreases by 50%.
Abilities:
  1. Overgrow - Overgrow increases the power of Grass-type moves by 50% (1.5×) when the ability-bearer's HP falls below a third of its maximum (known in-game as in a pinch).
  2. Disguise - Disguise allows the bearer to avoid damage for one attack, in a similar way to Substitute.
Hidden Ability: Shell Armor - Shell Armor prevents the Pokémon from receiving a critical hit.

Item: Wide Lens - Increases the accuracy of moves.

Headcanons
  • Tortekyu will go absolutely berserk if its RC car is destroyed. In fact, it's incredibly clingy of it, and touching it will probably result in it scratching you.
  • Tortekyu's 'Roar' is actually a recorded Torterra Roar that is being played through speakers located in the 'head'.
  • Tortekyu has a number of reasons for choosing a Torterra, but nothing is solidly confirmed so far.
