Blastoise, known in Japan as Kamex (カメックス, Kamekkusu), is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise. It is a Water-type Pokémon (#009 in the National Pokédex) that evolves from Wartortle, which evolves from Squirtle. Blastoise's most distinctive feature is the pair of cannons protruding from its shell, which can fire blasts of water. In Smash Bros., Blastoise uses these cannons to use Hydro Pump, a powerful Water-type move.

Blastoise in Super Smash Bros.

Blastoise makes its first appearances 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.

Blastoise trophy in Melee.

Blastoise makes an appearance again as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Blastoise's attack is identical to the attack it uses in Super Smash Bros., using Hydro Pump to push opponents off of the stage. Oddly, computer-controlled Fox and Falco try to reflect the water blasts, even though they cannot be reflected. Other CPU-controlled characters will try to counter the attack with their shields as well.

As a 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. It reads as follows:

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 considered the definitive water type.
