In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 355, Tirtouga plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Defense at 103, while Speed (22) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Water, Rock typing leaves Tirtouga with 4 weaknesses against 5 resistances. Watch out for Grass moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Tirtouga a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
