Paul's Torterra/Personality and characteristics

Unlike the majority of Paul's Pokémon, who are either brutal like their Trainer or completely indifferent towards Paul's attitude, Torterra is calm and somewhat kindhearted, as it actually went out of its way, against Paul's wishes, to help cope with its lack of  upon evolving and taught its pre-evolved form how to use  to make up for the lack of Speed.

Nevertheless, Torterra remains completely obedient and loyal towards Paul, and despite its occasional acts of kindness, it follows his Trainer's orders without hesitation. This was seen when Torterra, along with Paul's other Pokémon, were ganging up on as part of the Chimp Pokémon's harsh training, despite Chimchar being visibly exhausted and injured. Despite this, Torterra still showed no pleasure in these brutal methods.

Despite never being referred to as Paul's strongest Pokémon, he was used during Paul's battle against Cynthia's Garchomp at Amity Square, even though many of Paul's other Pokémon had already fallen to the Pseudo-legendary Pokémon, he continued battling. When Torterra was defeated, Paul forfeited the battle. Torterra also boasts great strength and longevity. It is one of the very few Pokémon that Paul shows respect for, and throughout its appearances, it wasn't scolded or reprimanded by its Trainer once.
