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.

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 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

According to an interview with Masahiro Sakurai, Blastoise was briefly considered as a possible playable character before he was switched out for Squirtle, because he thought having balance with the sizes and stages of evolution would interesting.”

Trophy information

Blastoise trophy in Melee.

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.

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.

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!

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!

The Mega Blastoise trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Mega Evolution Trophy Box.

Mega Blastoise

Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! 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.

Blastoise is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Wartortle at level 36, which in turn evolves from Squirtle at level 16. Blastoise's most distinctive feature is the pair of cannons protruding from its shell, which can fire blasts of water. Hydro Pump can be learned by Blastoise by leveling up in all games.
