Biology
Blastoise is a huge turtle Pokémon that walks on two legs. It has a blue body that is primarily concealed by a strong brown shell. This shell’s bottom is cream-colored, with a white ridge across its arms and separating the top and bottom parts. At the top of its shell, two powerful water cannons are positioned over its shoulders. These firearms can be stretched and retracted. The skull of a Blastoise features triangular black-on-the-inside ears, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. It has large arms with three claws on each hand. It has three claws on the front of its foot and one on the back. It has a short tail that protrudes from the bottom of its shell.
The gigantic cannons on this Pokémon are capable of producing water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and may be used for high-speed charges. Blastoise deliberately bulks up in order to withstand these massive blasts and demolish its opponents. Skull Bash was Generation II’s signature move. In the anime, Blastoise demonstrated his capacity to lead large groups of Squirtle and Wartortle. Freshwater ponds and lakes seem to be its preferred environment.
As Mega Blastoise, it generates two smaller shells over its arms, each with its own water cannon. The two rear weapons are replaced with a single, bigger center water cannon that retracts inside the ship’s shell. This cannon extends forward over Mega Blastoise’s head, with a blast range of almost 6 kilometers (10 kilometers). Ridges develop over its now-red eyes and reach to its ears. It has slightly inclined rearward ears and a little point on its chin.
It develops to the size of a Gigantamax Blastoise. Its eyes are white with vivid blue sclerae. Its blue arms, head, and legs lighten, while the bottom of its shell darkens. Its shell transforms into a battleship-like structure with 31 different-sized guns: twin cannon sets emerge from hexagon and rectangle-shaped holes within the shell, and a main cannon protrudes from the center. Its tail and legs are covered with white triangular dots. Three red clouds encircle the main gun.
Gigantamax Blastoise can adapt to any situation by using a variety of cannon combos. It loves to overwhelm its opponent by blasting dynamic, strong torrents from its cannons since it is not very proficient at accurate shooting. According to legend, the principal cannon is powerful enough to blast through the mountains. The 12 weapons around Gigantamax Blastoise may also be separately arranged to attack in any direction.
The only Pokémon known to be able to use the G-Max Move. Gigantamax Blastoise is G-Max Cannonade.
