It's not all doom and gloom for Tortastone, however, as it enjoys great supportive options such as Ice Enclosure Level Two, Earth Barrier Level Three, and Hulk Inspiration Level Five.
This combined with its other weaknesses make it something of a one-trick pony (turtle?).
Weaknesses to Water, Grass and Undead moves also wear Tortastone down and leave it to spend the rest of its days in an iron lung.Ī particularly bad flaw is that Tortastone is, to me, relegated to more defensive roles. That is, while its massive Health stat helps Tortastone achieve its goal of grinning and bearing almost every move in the game, it has a downright horrible Attack stat and a molasses-slow Speed stat. As a full-blown tank, it is what I call a victim of unbalanced stats. Tortastone suffers from a number of huge problems, though, and it's not a surprise. With the highest Health stat in the game and useful resistances to Electric, Earth, Titan, and Dino moves, Tortastone becomes an amazing redirecting minion. When you're looking for a tank.a tank so, well, tank-y that even the likes of Hydravolt, Falcona or a Grass-specializing Cactilla can never hope to OHKO, Tortastone readily comes to mind.
