[[Category:Water-type Pokémon]]
Blastoise (カメックス Kamex ) is a Water-type Pokémon and the evolved form of Wartortle. Blastoise is also the final evolutionary form of the starter Pokémon Squirtle.
Blastoise was also the version mascot for Pokémon Blue version.
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.
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.
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.
In Game
Blastoise first appeared in the Generation I games as the final evolved form of Sqiurtle. Blastoise are not obtainable in the wild and thus can only be obtained through trade in games where they are not recieved through events.

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 Template:RBY, 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 parenthesies - the actual damage/physuical 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):
Template:RBY:
- Electric, Grass - 2.35
- Psychic, Dragon - 1.18
- Normal, , Poison, Ground, Fighting, Bug, Rock, Ghost - 1
- Fire, Water, Ice - 0.58
All other games:
- Electric, Grass - 1.9
- Normal, , Poison, Ground, Fighting, Bug, Rock, Ghost - 1
- Psychic, Dragon, Dark - 0.95
- Steel - 0.5
- Fire, Water, Ice - 0.48
Naturally Learned Attacks
These are attacks which are learned naturally by Blastoise that is, they are automatically learned once they reach a certain level.
The rows entitled with acronyms are used to identify at what level the Pokémon learns that attack in that game. For example, if the number "7" was in a row entitled RGB beside an attack named "Foobar", than that Pokémon would learn the attack "Foobar" at level seven in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green.
Any attacks which are learned at "Catch" means that they already know that attack when they are caught, or learn it before evolving into this form. N/A means that that attack is not learnable in that game. Any attacks which are learned a "Evolve" are learned when they evolve.
RGB stands for Red/Green/Blue, Y stands for Yellow, GSC stands for Gold, Silver, Crystal, RS stands for Ruby/Sapphire, FRLG stands for FireRed/LeafGreen, and GSC/FRLG stands for Gold/Silver/Crystal/FireRed/LeafGreen.
