Blastoise is a Water-type Pokémon from the Kanto region. It evolves from Wartortle after being fed 100 candies. Blastoise is the final evolution of Squirtle that is a Starter Pokémon. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Blastoise initially after being given 200 Mega Energy. It can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Blastoise if it is capable to.
Pokédex description
Blastoise has water spouts that protrude from its shell. The water spouts are very accurate. They can shoot bullets of water with enough accuracy to strike empty cans from a distance of over 160 feet.
The cannon on its back is as powerful as a tank gun. Its tough legs and back enable it to withstand the recoil from firing the cannon.
It's not very good at precision shooting. When attacking, it just fires its 31 cannons over and over and over.
