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. Gary used his Blastoise during the silver conference as his trump card when Ash's Heracross defeated his Magmar. It defeated Heracross with ease using Hydro Pump. It then put up a strong fight against Muk by using Rapid Spin a lot which made Ash withdraw Muk. After Ash sent out Bayleef, Blastoise finished things off quickly by using Bite. It however was defeated by Charizard's overwhelming Seismic Toss resulting a loss for Gary.

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 Neesha; 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 Squirtle. Blastoise are not obtainable in the wild and thus can only be obtained by Trading in games where they are not received through events. Blastoise is owned by Red in Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver at level 84 making it the strongest Blastoise to be owned by a foe. Its moveset with Red were Blizzard, Focus Blast, Hydro Pump and Hydro Cannon.
