Read more ↓Blastoise, the Shellfish Pokémon, is a formidable Water-type introduced in Generation I as one of the original starter Pokémon from the Kanto region. It is the final evolution of Squirtle, evolving from Wartortle. Known for the water cannons on its shell, Blastoise can unleash powerful jets of water with enough force to pierce thick steel. In the wild, Blastoise are often found near large bodies of water, using their heavy shells for protection and their cannons for hunting and defense. They are typically solitary creatures, though they may gather in small groups during mating season. Blastoise has been a fan favorite since its debut in the Pokémon Red and Blue games, often chosen by players for its robust stats and iconic design. Its role in the anime, particularly as the final evolution of Ash's rival Gary's Squirtle, further solidified its place in popular culture. Its type, Water, gives it an advantage against Fire, Ground, and Rock types, making it a versatile choice in battles. The sheer power and stoic demeanor of Blastoise have made it a symbol of strength and reliability within the Pokémon universe.
