In Super Smash Bros.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Blastoise makes his first appearances as a Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. 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 Blastoise's attack.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Blastoise makes an appearance again as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Blastoise's attack is identical to the attack he uses in Super Smash Bros.. 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 finished using his attack. The summoner is not harmed by Blastoise's attack in this game either.

As a trophy

Blastoise features 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. It reads as follows:

Blastoise

Blastoise is the next evolutionary step from 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 it's condidered the definitive water type.
