{{incomplete|section|Describing Gigantamax Blastoise's appearance}}
[[File:Blastoise shell EP060.png|thumb|left|200px|Blastoise inside its shell]]
Blastoise is a large, bipedal turtle-like Pokémon. Its body is blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a cream-colored underside and a white ridge encircling its arms and separating the upper and lower halves. Two powerful water cannons reside at the top of its shell over its shoulders. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn. Blastoise's head has triangular ears that are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick, and it has three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. Poking out of the bottom of its shell is a stubby tail.
Blastoise is a large, bipedal {{wp|turtle}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a cream-colored underside and a white ridge encircling its arms and separating the upper and lower halves. Two powerful water cannons/jet nozzles reside at the top of its shell over its shoulders. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn. Blastoise's head has triangular ears that are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick, and it has three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. Poking out of the bottom of its shell is a stubby tail.


The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back are capable of producing water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and can be used for high-speed charges. Blastoise deliberately makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts and to crush its opponents. It has two former [[signature move]]s, {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. [[EP060|The anime has shown]] that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}.
The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back can produce water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and be used for high-speed charges. The speed of Blastoise's charges is similar to the force of a rocket. Blastoise makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts and crush its opponents. It is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Blastoise is known to sleep soundly while protected by its tough shell.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Blastoise has also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions. This is due to Blastoise feeling completely secure in its surroundings and quickly falling asleep.


As Mega Blastoise, it develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with their own water cannon. The two cannons on its back are replaced by a single, central water cannon of greater size that can retract into its shell. This cannon extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and is said to have a blast range of over 6 miles (10 kilometers).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> Small ridges develop over its now-red eyes and extend to its ears. The ears angle slightly backward and there is a small point on its chin.
In [[Generation II]], Blastoise and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Skull Bash}} naturally, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===In the main series===

====Major appearances====
=====[[Gary's Blastoise]]=====
{{Gary}} has a Blastoise that he received as a Squirtle from {{an|Professor Oak}}. It debuted in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''.


=====[[Tierno's Blastoise]]=====
===Forms===
{{an|Tierno}} has a Blastoise that he received as a Squirtle from [[Professor Sycamore]]. He first appeared in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', having evolved from Wartortle.
[[File:009Blastoise-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Gigantamax Blastoise shooting streams of water from its cannons]]
Blastoise has two forms: Mega Blastoise and [[Gigantamax]] Blastoise.


=====Other=====
When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], Blastoise develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with its water cannon. The two cannons on its back are replaced by a single, central water cannon of greater size that can retract into its shell. This cannon extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and is said to have a blast range of over 6 miles (10 kilometers).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> Small ridges develop over its now-red eyes and extend to its ears — which angle slightly backward — and there is a small point on its chin.
A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', where it was ruling over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle. It had a {{an|Jigglypuff}} stuck in one of its cannons and its {{m|Sing|song}} made everyone fall asleep.


A Blastoise [[nickname]]d Shellshocker appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', under the ownership of [[Neesha]]. It was taken away from her by one of Mewtwo's special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Corey]]'s {{p|Venusaur}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Squirtletwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. After being freed, it fought with {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}'s cloned Blastoise and lost. Neesha's Blastoise appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling Corey's Venusaur; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline. Neesha's Blastoise reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', a remake of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', where it played the same role.
As Gigantamax Blastoise, it becomes larger. Its eyes are white with bright blue sclerae. Its blue arms, head, and legs change to light blue, and the underside of its shell becomes dark red. Its shell transforms into a battleship-like formation, with 31 cannons of different sizes: sets of twin cannons emerge from hexagon and rectangle-shaped holes within the shell, and a main cannon protrudes from the center. Several white triangular spots are located on its tail and legs. Three red clouds surround the main cannon.


A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]'', under the ownership of [[Cissy]]. She used it against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Lapras}} in a Wave Race for the {{badge|Coral-Eye}}. Despite a well-fought race, Ash ultimately won by having Lapras use {{m|Ice Beam}} and riding on the ice. It reappeared in flashbacks of ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', and ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''.
Gigantamax Blastoise can adapt to any situation using various cannon combinations. It is not very good at precision shooting, so instead of aiming its attacks, it prefers to overwhelm its opponent by launching dynamic, powerful torrents from its cannons. According to one legend, its main cannon is so staggeringly powerful it can blast holes through the mountains. Gigantamax Blastoise can also individually align the 12 cannons surrounding its main cannon to attack in any direction.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-blastoise/ Gigantamax Blastoise | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>


Multiple Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'', under the ownership of [[Captain Aidan]]. They worked alongside a team of [[Team Wartortle|Wartortle]] and {{p|Squirtle}} that were used to extinguish fires. The team of Blastoise reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''.
Gigantamax Blastoise is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Cannonade}}.


A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'' as one of the Pokémon competing in [[Rikishii Town]]'s [[Sumo Conference]]. It went up against [[Raiden]]'s {{p|Feraligatr}} and lost despite its extreme strength, thus allowing Feraligatr to proceed to the finals.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===

====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 {{type|Water}}."''

====Trophy information====
=====Blastoise=====
'''NA:''' ''On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!''
 
'''PAL:''' ''Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!''
=====Mega Blastoise=====
'''NA''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.''

====Trophy information====
=====Blastoise=====
'''NA:''' ''On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!''
'''PAL:''' ''Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!''
=====Mega Blastoise=====
'''NA''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.''

Blastoise (Japanese: カメックス Kamex) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Wartortle starting at level 36. It is the final form of Squirtle.

Blastoise has two forms: Mega Blastoise and Gigantamax Blastoise. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Blastoise using the Blastoisinite, and can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Blastoise if it has the Gigantamax Factor. Gigantamax Blastoise was introduced in The Isle of Armor.

Blastoise is the game mascot of the Japanese and international versions of Pokémon Blue, appearing on the boxart of both games.

Biology

Blastoise inside its shell

Blastoise is a large, bipedal turtle Pokémon. Its body is blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a cream-colored underside and a white ridge encircling its arms and separating the upper and lower halves. Two powerful water cannons/jet nozzles reside at the top of its shell over its shoulders. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn. Blastoise's head has triangular ears that are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick, and it has three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. Poking out of the bottom of its shell is a stubby tail.

The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back can produce water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and be used for high-speed charges. The speed of Blastoise's charges is similar to the force of a rocket. Blastoise makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts and crush its opponents. It is shown in the Pokémon the Series episode Beach Blank-Out Blastoise that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of Squirtle and Wartortle. Its preferred habitat seems to be freshwater ponds and lakes. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Blastoise is known to sleep soundly while protected by its tough shell.[1] Blastoise has also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions. This is due to Blastoise feeling completely secure in its surroundings and quickly falling asleep.

In Generation II, Blastoise and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Skull Bash naturally, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.


Forms

Gigantamax Blastoise shooting streams of water from its cannons

Blastoise has two forms: Mega Blastoise and Gigantamax Blastoise.

When Mega Evolved, Blastoise develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with its water cannon. The two cannons on its back are replaced by a single, central water cannon of greater size that can retract into its shell. This cannon extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and is said to have a blast range of over 6 miles (10 kilometers).[2] Small ridges develop over its now-red eyes and extend to its ears — which angle slightly backward — and there is a small point on its chin.

As Gigantamax Blastoise, it becomes larger. Its eyes are white with bright blue sclerae. Its blue arms, head, and legs change to light blue, and the underside of its shell becomes dark red. Its shell transforms into a battleship-like formation, with 31 cannons of different sizes: sets of twin cannons emerge from hexagon and rectangle-shaped holes within the shell, and a main cannon protrudes from the center. Several white triangular spots are located on its tail and legs. Three red clouds surround the main cannon.

Gigantamax Blastoise can adapt to any situation using various cannon combinations. It is not very good at precision shooting, so instead of aiming its attacks, it prefers to overwhelm its opponent by launching dynamic, powerful torrents from its cannons. According to one legend, its main cannon is so staggeringly powerful it can blast holes through the mountains. Gigantamax Blastoise can also individually align the 12 cannons surrounding its main cannon to attack in any direction.[3]

Gigantamax Blastoise is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Cannonade.

Blastoise in Pokémon UNITE

Super Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Blastoise reappears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Like in SSB, it uses Hydro Pump as its attack. 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 Water-type."

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Blastoise was briefly considered as a possible playable character before it was switched out for Squirtle.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Blastoise appears in the background of the Flood Chamber in the Kalos Pokémon League, along with Wailord, Piplup, and Clawitzer.

Mega Blastoise trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

A trophy of Mega Blastoise also exists in both versions of the game.

Trophy information

Blastoise

NA: On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!

PAL: Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!

Mega Blastoise

NA: Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.

PAL: Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait - there are two on its arms, too! Basic arithmetic: three is better than two.

Trivia

Origin

Blastoise's design appears to be a turtle mixed with aspects of a tank. Blastoise's cannons may have been derived from the functioning tubes found in mussels and some other shellfish, thus its category.

Gigantamax Blastoise's shell may be based on a battleship. It may also be based on Leonardo da Vinci's design for an armored fighting vehicle, which itself is inspired by a turtle's shell.

Name origin

Blastoise may be a combination of blast (referring to its cannons) and tortoise.

Kamex may be a combination of 亀 kame (tortoise, turtle) and マックス makkusu (max; maximum).
