[edit] Appearance

Blastoise are a large turtle-like Pokémon with some similar features of its pre-evolved forms. Like its pre-evolved forms, Blastoise have a shell that covers their entire body, which they can also withdraw into. A new addition to the shell are the large water cannons located on the top left and right sides.

[edit] Special Abilities

Blastoise, like Wartortle and Squirtle, can shoot out water, though not from its mouth. Now, with the additions of the water cannons, Blastoise can fire water from these cannons at much greater force, which leaves them the backing force of all water attacks.

[edit] In Anime

Gary Oak was revealed to have a Blastoise in the episode The Ties That Bind, which was originally a Squirtle that he received as his starter Pokémon from his grandfather Professor Oak.

Cissy of the Orange League used a Blastoise against Ash in a race during the episode Fit to be Tide. This race was one of the challenges Ash needed to overcome in order to get the Coral-Eye Badge.

A Trainer named Neeshal owned a Blastoise named "Shellshocker", seen in the movie Mewtwo Strikes Back. Mewtwo cloned this Blastoise and used it to fight Neeshal's Blastoise and others.

[edit] In Game

Blastoise first appeared in the Generation I games as the final evolved form of Squirtle. Blastoise are not obtainable in the wild and thus can only be obtained through trade in games where they are not received through events.

[edit] Strategy

Since Blastoise's Special Attack is about 2.5% higher than its physical Attack, it is best using water moves than anything else. Defensively, it's Special Defense is 5% higher than it's Physical, it is better to fight it using physical attacks rather than special. In Red, Blue and Yellow, its Special is 85, which is 15% lower than its Defense. It is weak to Grass and Electric, and resistant to Fire, Water, Ice and Steel.

If you need to fight a Blastoise, the use the following chart (the number in the parentheses - the actual damage/physical damage without weakness/resistance ratio: multiply the number by the base damage of the move and the attack/special attack of the attacking Pokémon - and the bigger the result, the more damage the move will do):
