'''Blastoise''' ({{ja|カメックス|Kamekkusu}}, ''Kamex'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise.


'''Blastoise''' (カメックス, ''Kamekkusu'', '''Kamex''' in original Japanese language versions) is a [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] that comes out of a [[Poké Ball]].
==Origin==
[[File:009BlastoiseRB.png|thumb|left|Blastoise's official artwork from ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue''.]]
Blastoise is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}. It is listed as #009 in the Pokédex and known as the "Shellfish Pokémon". Blastoise evolves from Wartortle at level 36, which in turn evolves from [[Squirtle]] at level 16. As of {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}, it is also capable of undergoing {{iw|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}}. While Blastoise was unused in the base games for ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Sword and Shield}}'', it became obtainable in the games via ''{{iw|bulbapedia|The Isle of Armor}}'' DLC expansion, with a Gigantamax form.


==Appearance==
{{iw|bulbapedia|Hydro Pump|move}} is a Water-type move with 110 base power (120 in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation}}s I-V) and 80% accuracy. Blastoise and its pre-evolved forms learn it naturally by level up.


Blastoise takes the appearance of a tortoise. The huge shell on the back of his body is used to protect himself and its also used to attack other Pokémon. The shell on Blastoise's back also has two pumps which can Blastoise can spray water out of. The most notable attack Blastoise uses his pumps for is Hydro Pump. Blastoise also has large teeth that he can use to bite and attack other Pokémon. He is also the final evolution of ''[[Squirtle]]'' and ''[[Warturtle]]''.

==Role==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Blastoise SSB sprite.png|thumb|left|Sprite]]
Blastoise makes its first appearance as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Blastoise uses Hydro Pump as its attack. It stations itself on the stage and starts firing blasts of water from the cannons on its back. Any character that makes contact with the blasts of water will take moderate damage. The character will also be pushed towards one side of the screen. Characters that are on the other side of Blastoise will not be affected unless that person makes contact with Blastoise itself, which will then cause him or her to take moderate to high damage. Blastoise also moves back slightly for each blast of water and can fall off the stage if close enough to the ledge. Its Japanese voice clip is from the ''Pokémon'' episode ''Beach Blank-Out Blastoise'', and plays in the second part of the "Who is it?" segment.

===Super Smash Brothers===
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Blastoise.jpg|thumb|200px|Blastoise using Hydro Pump in Melee]]
Blastoise reappears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Like in ''SSB'', it uses Hydro Pump as its attack. Oddly, [[AI|CPU-controlled]] {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} will try to [[Reflector|reflect]] Hydro Pump in spite of it being immune to reflection-based hitboxes. Other CPU-controlled characters will try to counter the attack with their [[shield]]s as well. Additionally, it fires faster than in ''SSB'' and does not push itself back as far. Its Japanese voice clip is the same one used in ''Smash 64'' while its English voice clip is from ''Fit To Be Tide''.


Blastoise makes his first appearances as a Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]'' and appears out of Poké Balls. Blastoise uses Hydro Pump as his attack. Blastoise will station himself on the stage and start firing  blasts of water from his cannon on his back. Any character that makes contacts with the blasts of water will take moderated damage. The character will also be pushed towards the side of the screen. Characters that are on the other side of Blastoise will not be affected by his Hydro Pump attack. The summoner is not harmed by Blastose's attack.
===Trophy===
Blastoise appears as a collectible [[trophy]], unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the [[Trophy Lottery]] and throughout the various single-player regular matches.
{{Trophy
|name=Blastoise
|image=Blastoise Trophy Melee.png
|desc=Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating. When in danger, they hide inside their armored shells. Blastoise is so popular among trainers that it's considered the definitive Water-type.

===Super Smash Brothers Melee===
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
According to an interview with [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Blastoise was briefly considered as a possible playable character before it was switched out for Squirtle, because he thought having balance with the sizes and stages of evolution would be interesting.<ref>[http://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/ The Definitive List of Unused Fighters in Smash]</ref>


Blastoise makes an appearances againas a Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Brothers Melee]]'' and appears out of Poké Balls. Blastoise's attack is identical to the attack he uses in ''Super Smash Brothers''. Blastoise shoots blasts of water from the cannons on his back. The only difference is Blastoise recoils from the blast of water and starts moving to the opposite direction of where he is firing his cannon. Any character that makes contact with the blasts of water will take damage. Any character also has the chance of taking damage if they physically touch Blastoise. Blastoise's water blast forces character's to the side of the screen in this game. Blastoise is useful when guarding the edge. Blastoise will fall of the edge if he is not finish using his attack. The summoner is not harmed by Blastoise's attack in this game either.
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
[[File:Flood Chamber WiiU.PNG|thumb|250px|Blastoise's cameo in the Flood Chamber.]]

|desc-ntsc=On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!
|desc-pal=Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!

Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait—there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.
