As improbable as it is, you could theoretically get a turtwig with a single grass attachment, then attach a double colorless energy, activate the colress machine, and use a rare candy on it to suddenly push out Rumble Stomp without warning as early as turn 2. More realistically, you could just aim to use guard press. He’s not bad for a stage 2 beater.
Also, interesting that Team Plasma’s pokemon don’t have the sort of “villainous ” flavor that Team Rocket’s and Team Galacti’s pokemon have….they mainly just seem to be angry.

T2 Torterra isn’t all too improbable. T2 Secret Sword is just so much better.
Anyway, I guess Torterra would be a sweet counter deck to Blastoise if Blastoise got popular.
