Its Ability
Sunshine Song
Once during your turn (before your attack), when you play Torterra from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may choose as many of your Grass Pokémon in play as you like. For each Grass Pokémon you choose, search your deck for an Evolution card that evolves from that Pokémon and evolve it. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Its attacks
Crash Impact
60Torterra does 20 damage to itself. Your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon, if any.
Land Shake
80During your opponent's next turn, when your opponent puts a Basic Pokémon from his or her hand onto his or her Bench, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon.
What to make of it
Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- 140 HP. Only 2 cards in Stormfront carry more.
- Crash Impact hits for 60 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Stormfront hits harder for that price.
- It has an Ability, Sunshine Song. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
- None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
- It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Grotle to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
- Weakness Water +30. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,351 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Who plays it
None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
