Turn off your Exp Share the moment you get it. They buffed that item way too much in Gen VI; the game will be far too easy if you use it.

No you don't. Hidden Power Dragon is an inferior move on just about any Pokemon, especially Torterra. Don't give it a Brave nature, either. Go with something that lowers Sp. Atk instead. Also, instead of choosing between Wood Hammer or Earthquake, use both; get rid of Hidden Power to make room. This would make your set:

Stockpile
Synthesis
Earthquake
Wood Hammer

However, I strongly reccomend giving it Stone Edge, as it's super-effective against literally every type that Torterra is weak against. And having it would mean that the only Dragon-types who give you trouble are Hydreigon & Mega Altaria.

I did manage ice hidden power, deals with flying, dragons, bugs, and fellow grass types. I was going to stick with dragon because I was getting no luck with ice. I that first set with the perfect iv I got.

I was gifted with Omega Ruby by a friend of mine. When it was on GBA I started with Torchick *all the time*, but I went with Treeko this time around.

When you get to the point in which the GTS is available to you I would get the other two starters as well. It will allow you to protecto your team and make them more rounded even if one of the two is a reserve rhat you would rotate in.

I always start with the water type of each generation I played. At times like in both Diamond and Alpha Sapphire I used the fire starter alongside it.

And I went with how they look.

Gen 1's water starter and gens 4 grass starter were turtles. And I love turtles lol. So they all ready had a head start in my choice in picking them.
gen 2 has a gator, cool,
and gen 3 had a cool looking lizard.
Than came gen 5, I had no ideal who to really choose, but I went with the pig Emboar in the end,
gen 6 was pretty easy to choose imo. story wise, I never used more than the starter I pick. So yes I beat Blue with 1 Blastoise, plus team, Lance fell to the gator I pick, Cythina who is amazing by the way, got crush by my team, The turtle needed help lol. And N/Ghetis for some odd reason really got reck by Emboar. Never finish gen 6 once I got my hands on gen 3 remakes. I dont neven know who the champ is in Kalos lol.
I beaten flair, and there was no champ to give me pointers or help me out.
Lance and I crush team Rocket when we raided there base, Steven help me save the world 2 times(I counted the remakes, which makes 3) And Chytina help me save time and space in the plautium. As for Alder, I loved him, great guy, help my ingame person learn a lot in black and white 1 and 2, but he loses points for losing to N. Like him as a person, but a poor champion. Irsis was perhaps a little better, but that has more to do with the role she played in BW1 than BW2.

Don't use Hidden Power at all on Torterra. Its Sp. Atk stat isn't good and Hidden Power is a weak move anyway. Stick with physical attacks.

And Ice is super-effective against Ground, not Bug.

I was playing x/y a while ago, and I was around 40-50 range by the 5th or 6 gym? I was crushing the gyms, had I known than what I know know, I would not have used the exp share. And I was hardly doing any grinding mind you, just beating the trainers, gym leaders, my 4 rivals(which is 2 much, I though 2 rivals in gen 5 was bad lol.
