Blastoise is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation 1.

Biology

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 These cannons can be extended or withdrawn.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 and propelling itself in the air. 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. Blastoise is capable of flying by propelling itself with water from the back openings of its shell. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Blastoise is known to sleep soundly while protected by its tough shell. It has also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions, meaning that it is feeling completely secure in its surroundings and has quickly fallen asleep.

Evolution

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

Locations Found

Blastoise is most commonly acquired by evolving a Wartortle from a chosen starter of Squirtle. There are no known locations where this Pokémon is found in the wild.
