Blastoise (Japanese: カメックス Kamex) is a Water-type Pokémon.
Blastoise comes with the Ability Torrent, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
Blastoise evolves from Wartortle starting at Level 36
Blastoise is the version mascot of Pokémon Blue, appearing on the boxart.
Biology
Physiology
Blastoise is a bipedal, large, blue tortoise with a brown shell and two water cannons that jut out of the top of its shell. The cannons can be withdrawn inside the shell, or rotated to point backwards; this enables Blastoise to commence jet assisted rams.
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.
Behavior
Habitat
Blastoise can be found living on island beaches near the ocean, but their prefered habitat seems to be freshwater ponds and lakes.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
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 Venasaur to create 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.
In Beach Blank-Out Blastoise a real Blastoise was met in person. The Blastoise that was ruling over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle. It had Jigglypuff stuck in one its cannons and it made everyone fall asleep.
Neesha, a trainer that went to New Island in Mewtwo Strikes Back, had a Blastoise named "Shellshocker".
Cissy used a Blastoise against Ash and his Lapras in a Wave Race during Fit to be Tide.
In The Pokémon Water War, Capt. Aiden had a team of Blastoise, Wartortle and Squirtle that were used to exstinguish fires.
During One Trick Phony!, Team Rocket used a Blastoise against Ash's Pikachu in an elaborate plan to capture it.
Gary Oak has a Blastoise that he originally received as a Squirtle from Professor Oak.
Jimmy's Wartortle evolved into Blastoise in Judgement Day!.
A coordinator uses a Blastoise in the Verdanturf Contest.
Lola has a Blastoise.
Sid had a Blastoise in Destiny Deoxys.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special, one of Blue'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

Other appearances
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 Water-type.

Trivia
Origin

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.
Blastoise's name more likely comes from the word Blastoid, which are an extinct type of echinoderm with fossils that look like small hickory nuts.
