Blastoise is a large, bipedal, blue tortoise-like Pokémon with a tough brown shell and two powerful water cannons, which are like steel in appearance, that jut out of the top sides of its shell. The cannons can be withdrawn inside the shell, or rotated to point backwards; this enables Blastoise to commence jet assisted rams.

The cannons can be withdrawn inside the shell, or rotated to point backwards; this enables Blastoise to commence jet assisted rams. Blastoise’s head sports triangular ears and is strong and sturdy in shape, allowing it to ram into foes in battle. Blastoise’s arms are thick and patterned with striations, possessing three claws on the hands. The white rim of the shell also encircles the arm. Unlike Wartortle and Squirtle, Blastoise’s tail is blue and stubby. | ||

They may be wary at first but can be very good allies in {{pkmn|battle}}. They mainly take the role of leaders in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} or {{p|Wartortle}}. It firmly plants its feet on the ground before shooting water from the jets on its back, deliberately making itself heavy to withstand the recoil of its water jets. According to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]], it uses its heavy body as a {{m|Body Slam|crushing weight}}. | ||

Blastoise (Japanese: カメックス Kamex) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Wartortle starting at level 36. It is the final form of Squirtle.
Blastoise is the version mascot of Pokémon Blue, appearing on the boxart.
Biology
Physiology
Blastoise is a large, bipedal, blue tortoise-like Pokémon with a tough brown shell and two powerful water cannons, which are like steel in appearance, that jut out of the top sides of its shell. The cannons can be withdrawn inside the shell, or rotated to point backwards; this enables Blastoise to commence jet assisted rams. Blastoise’s head sports triangular ears and is strong and sturdy in shape, allowing it to ram into foes in battle. Blastoise’s arms are thick and patterned with striations, possessing three claws on the hands. The white rim of the shell also encircles the arm. Unlike Wartortle and Squirtle, Blastoise’s tail is blue and stubby.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Blastoise can shoot water from its cannons with enough force to punch holes in steel, and enough accuracy to hit an empty can 160 feet away. Blastoise also has the ability to learn Ice-type moves like Ice Beam and Blizzard. Since Blastoise is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. It can spin very fast in its shell to knock enemies out of its path.
Behavior
Despite their size, Blastoise are very gentle and calm Pokémon. They may be wary at first but can be very good allies in battle. They mainly take the role of leaders in large groups of Squirtle or Wartortle. It firmly plants its feet on the ground before shooting water from the jets on its back, deliberately making itself heavy to withstand the recoil of its water jets. According to The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide, it uses its heavy body as a crushing weight.
Habitat
Blastoise can be found living on island beaches near the ocean, but their preferred habitat seems to be freshwater ponds and lakes. This Pokémon is most likely to be found in Kanto.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Its diet seems to be omnivorous, like its pre-evolutions; it may eat aquatic invertebrates also.
In the anime
Major appearances
In Beach Blank-Out Blastoise a Blastoise that was ruling over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle had a Jigglypuff stuck in one its cannons and its song made everyone fall asleep.
Gary's Blastoise
Gary has a Blastoise that he originally received as a Squirtle from Professor Oak.
Cissy's Blastoise
Cissy used a Blastoise against Ash and his Lapras in a Wave Race for the Coral-Eye Badge during Fit to be Tide.
Other
Neesha, a Trainer who went to New Island in Mewtwo Strikes Back, had a Blastoise named "Shellshocker". It fought with Mewtwo's cloned Blastoise and lost. It was taken away from her by one of Mewtwo's special Poké Balls but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with Ash's Charizard and another trainer's Venusaur, they were the only taken away Pokémon not to be cloned: this could be because Mewtwo didn't need more than one copy of each Pokémon and it already had their clones.
In The Pokémon Water War, Captain Aiden had a team of Blastoise, Wartortle, and Squirtle that were used to extinguish fires.
Jimmy's Wartortle evolved into Blastoise in Judgement Day!.
Lola has a Blastoise which she used to rescue Flint's Golem after the latter was beaten in a battle.
Sid has a Blastoise in Destiny Deoxys.
In Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two, Kellyn had three Blastoise use Rain Dance in order to douse a forest fire that was caused by J's Salamence.
Minor appearances
Blastoise first appeared as a giant mechanical Pokémon in Island of the Giant Pokémon.
In The Ghost of Maiden's Peak, a Gastly created an illusion of Blastoise in order to frighten Ash's Squirtle. Gastly subsequently combined this Blastoise with an illusionary Venusaur to create a Venustoise, which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur out of battling.
The first time a real Blastoise appeared in was in Primeape Goes Bananas. It was in Ash's flashback in an advertisement for the contest in which he won his special hat.
During One Trick Phony!, Team Rocket used a Blastoise against Ash's Pikachu in an elaborate plan to capture it.
A Coordinator used a Blastoise in the Verdanturf Contest.
A Blastoise is used by one of the students of Pokémon Summer Academy in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!.

In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures, one of Green's main Pokémon is a Blastoise, evolved from the Squirtle she stole from Professor Oak.
In Pokémon Zensho, Shigeru's Squirtle eventually evolved into a Blastoise that fought Satoshi's Charizard for the title of Champion of the Pokémon League.
In the TCG
- Main article: Blastoise (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
When released from a Poké Ball, Blastoise will use Hydro Pump in one direction. Each Pump moves Blastoise backwards slightly making it a danger to those fighting behind it as well. Blastoise's trophy also refers to Blastoise as the 'Definitive Water Type'.
Trophy information
Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating. When in danger, they hide inside their armored shells. Blastoise is so popular among trainers that it's considered the definitive Template:Type2.
