Blastoise is the powerful Water-type Pokémon famous for the twin cannons mounted in its shell, turning the final evolution of Squirtle into something resembling a heavily armored mobile water battery.
Blastoise evolves from Wartortle and represents the fully developed form of one of the original partner Pokémon lines. Its thick shell provides formidable protection while the water cannons emerging from that shell deliver high-pressure blasts capable of knocking opponents away.
The design is wonderfully direct.

Across Pokémon games, animation, trading cards, and merchandise, Blastoise has remained one of the franchise’s most recognizable Water-type Pokémon. Different appearances have expanded on its capabilities without changing that central identity, including Mega Evolution and the spectacularly over-armed Gigantamax form.
Pokémon’s official material describes Blastoise as using its massive body to protect allies while blasting opponents away with water, which neatly summarizes why it has endured since the franchise’s earliest generation.
