Blastoise (Japanese: カメックス Kamex, German: Turtok, French: Tortank) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Pokédex data

Pokémon Red and Blue

A brutal POKéMON with pressurized water jets on its shell. They are used for high speed tackles.

Pokémon Yellow

Once it takes aim at its enemy, it blasts out water with even more force than a fire hose.

Pokémon Stadium

It has spouts extending from its shell at the top. They spray water like cannons, hard enough to pierce concrete walls.

Pokémon Gold

It deliberately makes itself heavy so it can withstand the recoil of the water jets it fires.

Pokémon Silver

The rocket cannons on its shell fire jets of water capable of punching holes through thick steel.

Pokémon Crystal

It firmly plants its feet on the ground before shooting water from the jets on its back.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Blastoise has water spouts that protrude from its shell. The water spouts are very accurate. They can shoot bullets of water with enough accuracy to strike empty cans from a distance of over 160 feet.

Pokémon Emerald

The waterspouts that protrude from its shell are highly accurate. Their bullets of water can precisely nail tin cans from a distance of over 160 feet.

Pokémon FireRed

It crushes its foe under its heavy body to cause fainting. In a pinch, it will withdraw inside its shell.

Pokémon LeafGreen

The pressurized water jets on this brutal POKéMON's shell are used for high-speed tackles.

Name origin

Blastoise's name is a combination of blast, referring to its cannons, and tortoise. The kame in Kamex comes from the Japanese word for tortoise/turtle, 亀.

Its design appears to be a turtle mixed with aspects of a tank.

Base stats
