0:44 I think this infographic is a bit misleading regarding Drednaw. In Gen 8 Drednaw was in ZU but it didn't have Shell Smash unlike Carracosta and Crustle. In Gen 9 Drednaw got Shell Smash and now it's NUBL, as Tera-Dark Strong Jaw Crunch is demonic (and you're immune to prankster encore). It was even RUBL some time ago, while Cloyster was RU (probably the turtle dropped to NU because RU council freed its banlist too late)
you're right, that was an oversight, after Drednaw got shell smash it became NUBL, still pretty low tier but not ZU levels of low. I'll add a correction to the description. Thanks for pointing it out
".*blank* is now NUBL in gen 9" -Gen 9 Smogon, 2023. Seriously, NU just went through a loop the past few months. And Drednaw did not help it a single bit.
I think an issue with Shell Smash is that it becomes less viable each generation due to power creep. You essentially make your Pokemon into a glass cannon, but taking a turn to do that when you already have Pokemon that are fast, strong, and defensively weak without setting up, makes you question in higher-tiers "Why should I use Shell Smash Torterra when I could use Chien-Po?" It's creeping into lower-tiers, too.
While Torterra's chances in OU are pretty much nonexistent, but I do think it will be good in the lower tiers, like RU or maybe UU, where the strength levels are more manageable for it.
Not related to the video, but i love the change in enthusiasm between the video and the sponsored segment, honest fair play to get the bank from those sponsors
IDK about White Herb... Headlong Rush and Wood Hammer already cost you bulk on use (either raw HP or lowering defenses). How many situations are you going to smash (usually taking an attack first), then still have the bulk to take hits if you attack with your STAB moves first?
it doesn't have anything to do with the topic but seeing Torterra's 3d model in detail is really just. I can see how much modern pokemon tend to be designed with 3d models in mind so it can often work much better, but instead of getting any kind of upgrade that even subtly changes the design to make it work better in 3d some older mons get screwed over like Torterra with that lazily smoothed out clay instead of anything resembling grass on its back
Some Pokemon really benefit from the shift - I can safely say that Pokemon like Muk actually improve their look due to all the texture and shader work they get now. Particularly some of the flying Pokemon/Pokemon that *can* now fly in SV instead of being exclusively grounded are cool too and get a new mode of expression. Unfortunately for mons like Torterra, they don't realistically give an equal amount of love to every Pokemon and Torterra has a particularly cool but asymmetrical and detailed design. He absolutely could work in 3D! But he needed more care and attention and clearly didn't get it. In general, I will always love the 2D art of Pokemon more. Call me a nostalgic curmudgeon if you will, but I think even newer Pokemon look better in sprite form. However, I do respect where 3D Pokemon's look is improving and I hope Torterra and mons like him get more of it, it's unfortunate to have such a cool base and be stuck with no detail...
Theres something funny about it being able to play under trick room, but also the option to set up shell smash on a turn the opponent protects to burn the trick room turn. Might not be completely game breaking in VGC but its nice to have
That would be a fun flex in a showdown compilation, but I feel like a Pokémon as limited as Torterra is going to be too easy to read for that to be a relevant game state most of the time
I usted to abuse shell smash Terra in volt white 2 it was busted with smash + rock head wood hammer combo also It had head smash and 64 base speed stat I just wish terra some day received that kinda of buff in the mainline game❤
Personally I think that rock blast helps him about as much as shell smash. Covers all of his weaknesses with loaded die. I don't think Torterra is OU viable, but I could see it being somewhat decent as a win condition in the tier, and I personally think that RU will be perfect for it.
idk much about torterra in singles but he’s super underrated in doubles. i use one on my showdown regulation f team with a moveset of shell smash, earthquake, seed bomb and fire tera blast. i actually then recommend giving it a white herb which can ignore intimidates, reset icy wind to keep the full x2 speed boost, or even change it to a free fillet away otherwise. pair it with either a priority hitter to break focus sashes, a tailwind setter for even more speed, or a friend guard + follow me user like clefairy for free setup and extra bulk. terastallize for that powerful STAB fire/grass/ground core and sweep😌
Yeah I don’t think many people thought this would take Torterra to OU. But I can see this making it a very strong threat in NU/RU, and considering it was Untiered in Gen 7 (despite still being really good in PU) that’s a big improvement.
I think Torterra will still be viable in OU while not being OU itself. Torterra just needs a specific team to be its best. I highly recommend AV Samurott with Sacred Sword and an Iron Valiant counter as partners
GF tends to ignore Pokemon who need the help until its too late, like alakazam and gengar with nasty plot and tyranitar with knock off. This is just yet another example of that
I hope Torterra doesn't get stuck in OU due to over hype. I feel like it would need more to become truly high tier but it feels good that we could have a prime physical sweeper in lower tiers
I think it could be a nice surprise pick depending on the current meta. It’s just really sad that it got such a good boost, but the other new mechanics are just anti-tottera. Lots of strong priority users, lots of strong unaware Mon, and lots of very very fast Pokémon like Iron Valiant (I hate iron valiant so much lol). I wonder how well it would be if so many things didn’t get it all at once. Like, it won’t thrive in UU specifically because of there being an abundance of strong priority move users and then the fire alligator. Remove those priority users and it would be great in UU I think.
It's hilarious how any and all general discussion about a Pokémon's strength can be completely dumpstered by the "It's not going to cut it in OU so who gives a shit" sentiment. It makes sense since OU is standard play, after all.
Seeing them be smart about moves like Shell Smash makes me wonder what pokemon was smoking when they made and allowed the likes of Zacian and calyrex into the meta
Every single time this thing has used Shell Smash as a set up, I've used Foul Play the very next turn to OHKO. I'm sure this buff is effective in many circumstances, but I just see it as a free KO so far.
It might not be top tier, but it DOES at least give it a theoretical niche in UU or OU. When I say that, I don’t mean it will BE OU or UU, I mean that there will be certain _specific_ teams in those tiers that can make very good use of Torterra, even if it’s otherwise too inconsistent for other teams. For example, a team that already has speed control of some kind built in to keep Scarfers in check
The moment I heard about the change I knew it meant nothing significant, Torterra's abilities are meh, stats low-key worthless for modern gen's power-creep and nothing noteworthy on the movepool to justify bringing something that can get obliterated by flying and fkn bug moves. When I told my brother he just looked at me with a straight face and said "still isn't competitive viable", and he plays the games WAY more than I, fucker just completed Galar's pokedex after like two weeks of actively wanting to complete it, and planning on trying to complete Paldea's (mind you, he's doing this on his spare time since he works).
what is the deal with Dreadnaw? it's a shell smasher that has a higher attack and speed then both Torterra and Cloyster but it's in NU BL for some reason.
As I understand it, Showdown doesn't really have an AI opponent (and the core game AI opponents are not great), and I don't like playing against real people. That's the main thing keeping me from wanting to try these neat strategies. But it's really interesting watching your videos and learning about all the strategic depth of the game!
all the way down to utterly incomprehensible predictions that result in you losing BECAUSE your opponent did a dumb thing that would usually be a bad play@@CanadianBaconPwnage
@@CanadianBaconPwnageTrue, but the AI can take a loss without throwing a psychotic tantrum or very loudly acting like a victim, etc. Low-ladder opponents are often very immature, either because they're literally 10 and think like a Team Rocket grunt (most will grow out of it), or because they're mentally children despite being in their thirties. :D A major advantage of AI is I can repeatedly throw myself against it with different approaches and learn by doing, and the AI never gets tired of me or treats me like crap. It'd have to be deliberately programmed to be toxic, while with people the toxicity almost comes for free. AI is indifferent and that's a huge plus. Usually in multiplayer games I prefer single player vs AI or Coop vs AI.
@@danielhale1 Well said. I spoke mostly in jest. There are advantages to being able to solitaire/goldfish against competent AI before braving the ladder.
All Pokemon like Torterra ever want is a buff, and I'm sure the players who favor those pokemon don't necessarily want nor need for them to be "Mega Salamence levels of good". They just want their favorite mon to be usable, and not being left in the dust.
@@dinoman6481 you mean SLOW bulky ice types. What we need is a bulky ice type that doesn't have ass speed. Like regice literally has enough BST to do that but nooooooooooooo they just have to punish every ice type for existing :( I do appreciate that Chien-Pao is just Better Weavile tho, never really liked weavile all that much
I lost a game because it missed a rock blast on a Dragonite, so forgive me for not wanting to touch this thing anymore. Also, at 4:47 it looks like you mixed up the sets there.
As someone who plays RU alot I don’t see torterra being too great there either if he drops. There not really anything that makes him better than cloyster and there’s definitely not room for two shell smash mons to thrive considering cloyster is already kinda mid in RU.
Definitely not top tier, but I don't think it will be PU or even NU anymore. Not enough to bring Torterra to OU or UU, but definitely enough for RU imo Also, another important note, even without Shell Smash, crit me not sets are better in lower tiers because Shell Armor means you don't have to worry about the 1/24 chance and you caneither tera fire to prevent burn or tera poison/steel to prevent Toxic
Torterra also should have leaf blade again my god that’s a good move for it instead of just wood hammer alone cmon gamefreak give torterra leaf blade back!!
I hope Shell Armor have its effect changed, cause the effect of blocking critical hits makes no sense, or having his hidden ability changed in a future.

I'm just happy Torterra got any buffs to make it a bit better. Tried some sets in VGC doubles and it's been very fun to use.
While Torterra's chances in OU are pretty much nonexistent, but I do think it will be good in the lower tiers, like RU or maybe UU, where the strength levels are more manageable for it.

Yea life orb is pretty much better on that set in every way
Lum berry is better imo, since faster teams beat it anyway but we remove bulky teams' options to burn/poison it.
If you told me Torterra would be better than Heatran in OU in Gen 4 I’d have laughed at you, but here we are
Why
Only that it's not
it doesn't have anything to do with the topic but seeing Torterra's 3d model in detail is really just. I can see how much modern pokemon tend to be designed with 3d models in mind so it can often work much better, but instead of getting any kind of upgrade that even subtly changes the design to make it work better in 3d some older mons get screwed over like Torterra with that lazily smoothed out clay instead of anything resembling grass on its back
Some Pokemon really benefit from the shift - I can safely say that Pokemon like Muk actually improve their look due to all the texture and shader work they get now. Particularly some of the flying Pokemon/Pokemon that *can* now fly in SV instead of being exclusively grounded are cool too and get a new mode of expression.
Unfortunately for mons like Torterra, they don't realistically give an equal amount of love to every Pokemon and Torterra has a particularly cool but asymmetrical and detailed design. He absolutely could work in 3D! But he needed more care and attention and clearly didn't get it.

However, I do respect where 3D Pokemon's look is improving and I hope Torterra and mons like him get more of it, it's unfortunate to have such a cool base and be stuck with no detail...
Seeing the tera crystal flopping around on the tree like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman looks so bad lmao
@@hankhill6404yeah man what the hell. Just googled old tortera art and the difference is night and day. Dangerous animal too children's toy
To be fair, Ursaluna is a new Pokemon designed for 3D that has similar issues with the model.
Hell, just a lumpy moss texture would go a really long way
Hopefully Torterra will perform better in VGC. Been waiting forever to use him since I got into VGC
Theres something funny about it being able to play under trick room, but also the option to set up shell smash on a turn the opponent protects to burn the trick room turn.
Might not be completely game breaking in VGC but its nice to have
That would be a fun flex in a showdown compilation, but I feel like a Pokémon as limited as Torterra is going to be too easy to read for that to be a relevant game state most of the time
the highlight for me was "bocchi the rock bl" the cloyster
I usted to abuse shell smash Terra in volt white 2 it was busted with smash + rock head wood hammer combo also It had head smash and 64 base speed stat I just wish terra some day received that kinda of buff in the mainline game❤
0:12 Except Torkoal
But he never use it
On my way to play doubles with Torterra to make it's weaknesses a lot easier to manage
Give my boy Solid Rock. Makes sense with the minerals Turtwig had on it's shell.
for me giga drain could also be good you gain back health and it can also use his sp attack, now give I hope infernape will get drain punch
Infernape does get Drain Punch now!
it does get drain punch
i dont know about smogon tiers but i just had a full shell smash torterra sweep in random battles and idk but it made me happy
Personally I think that rock blast helps him about as much as shell smash. Covers all of his weaknesses with loaded die. I don't think Torterra is OU viable, but I could see it being somewhat decent as a win condition in the tier, and I personally think that RU will be perfect for it.
Its worth noting that tortera shares the vast majority of its checks with iron valient, which might give a niche in ou once kinggambit is banned
idk much about torterra in singles but he’s super underrated in doubles. i use one on my showdown regulation f team with a moveset of shell smash, earthquake, seed bomb and fire tera blast. i actually then recommend giving it a white herb which can ignore intimidates, reset icy wind to keep the full x2 speed boost, or even change it to a free fillet away otherwise. pair it with either a priority hitter to break focus sashes, a tailwind setter for even more speed, or a friend guard + follow me user like clefairy for free setup and extra bulk. terastallize for that powerful STAB fire/grass/ground core and sweep😌

I’ve been using it with Iron moth, ninetails alolan, hisu zora, and it’s been ight
Gotta use the loaded dice rockblast bullet seed set
You missed the chance to say “Torterrible would be an accurate way to describe Torterra”
Now it’s Tortolerable
3:55 white herb should be pronouced "white erb" (the H is silent)
One things for sure
Atleast it won't drop to untier this gen 😢
I think Torterra will still be viable in OU while not being OU itself. Torterra just needs a specific team to be its best.
I highly recommend AV Samurott with Sacred Sword and an Iron Valiant counter as partners
gambit works as a counter as half the valiants dont have a fighting move but you dont wanna hope that it dont got cc or blast
Please do a video about galarian weezing.
It seems as if it is going to be more relevant in gen 9 than gen 8.
I don't even care if Torterra's not top tier, this is still one of the moments of all time.
Tortera seems like a great UU mon. Which is amazing considering what UU looks like now.
Mega blastiose was banned from Nat dex OU so yeah it was broken
I love how Torterra’s Tera hat goes on its tree :)
GF tends to ignore Pokemon who need the help until its too late, like alakazam and gengar with nasty plot and tyranitar with knock off. This is just yet another example of that

4:50 the items are swapped i think
Every pokemon with a horn gets megahorn and every pokemon with a shell gets shell smash, this should be a hard rule.
We can, in fact, imagine Mega Smashstoise.
It's called National Dex and it was banned.
Our son finally got blessed
As long as torterra isn't bottom tier/untiered I'm happy.
It's hilarious how any and all general discussion about a Pokémon's strength can be completely dumpstered by the "It's not going to cut it in OU so who gives a shit" sentiment. It makes sense since OU is standard play, after all.
The only thing missing here is a good ability, imagine if torterra had rock head instead of shell armor
It's pretty funny that Ash used his Torterra as a speedster and now everyone can use Torterra as a speedster too.

0:50: tbf Drednaw is now NUBL with shell smash which isn’t too bad
Grats on the sponsor man
I use mixed Shell Smash tho. I dont like its physical grass STABS (due to recoil or weak base power ) and choose to Giga Drain instead
There’s also Power Whip which instead of recoil it has 85% Acc.
And it doesn’t get that, it has Leaf Blade in LLA but couldn’t keep that either
I use tera steel torterra to counter ice type and white herb to fix the drop of is defense of shell smash
