- —Blastoise
Blastoise are creatures from the Pokémon series. One appeared in the 33rd episode of Death Battle, Pokémon Battle Royale, where it fought against fellow starter Pokémon Venusaur and Charizard.
History
Blastoise is the final evolution of the Kanto starter Pokémon, Squirtle. Blastoises are stubborn, lone warrior Water-types, but are not impossible to train, mostly found around large bodies of water. The jets on its back can be used to rocket it forward to increase its tackles or shoot water with enough force to punch through thick steel at a maximum distance of 160 feet. They prioritize offense and defense in favor of speed, prefering to shoot their signature Hydro Pumps at enemies from afar and simply retreat into their very durable shell rather than dodging incoming attacks. Some have the ability to Mega Evolve, and in the Galar region, some have the ability to utilize Gigantamax. Some have also been owned by notable Trainers like Gym Leader Cissy, dancing Trainer Tierno, and of course, legendary rival Blue.
