@Etesian, Venusaur is actually similar to Torterra in that its bulk and nice typing is quite useful. Furthermore if you pair it with (Assuming) Pre-ep 15 Drought Ninetales it can sweep with Growth and chlorophyll.
Also, my final moveset on Torterra so far is Crunch, EQ, Wood hammer and one extra move that I can't remember for the life of me, maybe synthesis because who wants to pay for healing? Still, that right there is a very good moveset in-game, Crunch in particular made Torterra viable to demolish Radomus
Oh and @Hilda "speed is power" I can't stand speedy glass cannons like Froaki and Torchic. I've always preferred bulk to speed. That said, i'm quite the oposite in competitive, I prefer offense there.
