Note:

This build is centered on maximizing the damage of Blastoise's Rapid Spin and Water Spout combo. It's best to play safe early on until Blastoise reaches level 7 to get both of its moves.

Sp. Atk. Specs provides a large amount of Sp. Atk., particularly when it's fully stacked. Slick Spoon adds more Sp. Atk. and gives Blastoise Sp. Def. penetration, improving its damage output further. It also gives a decent amount of HP for some durability. Energy Amplifier is mainly to amplify Blastoise's damage output significantly when it uses Hydro Typhoon.

X Speed gives Blastoise the durability it needs to sneak past enemies to stack Sp. Atk. Specs in the early game and to stay on top of its targets during Rapid Spin. However, Eject Button can be a nice alternative to serve the same purpose.

The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems to maximize Blastoise's damage output and 4 White Emblems for additional HP. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk or HP to balance Blastoise's offense and defense. Attack, and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

This build utilizes Surf and Hydro Pump to displace enemies and disrupt their positioning. The key to this build is getting the proper angle to shove targets with Surf and Hydro Pump.

Choice Specs gives a decent amount of Sp. Atk. and increases Blastoise's minimum move damage, particularly Hydro Pump. Slick Spoon provides additional Sp. Atk and gives Blastoise Sp. Def. penetration, increasing its damage output. It also improves the Pokemon's HP for some durability. Buddy Barrier offers a large amount of HP and acts as a teamfight tool.

Eject Button allows Blastoise to quickly reposition and get the best possible angle to shove enemies with Surf and Hydro Pump. However, X Speed can also offer the same thing but improves Blastoise's overall mobility.

The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems for more damage and 4 White Emblems for additional HP. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk or HP to balance Blastoise's offense and defense. Attack, and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

This is a versatile build that puts everything to Blastoise's durability, turning it into a full-fledged tank. Blastoise can use any move combination with this build.

Slick Spoon provides a decent Sp. Atk. and HP boost suitable for a Sp. Atk. tank. It also gives Blastoise Sp. Def. penetration that improves its damage output. Focus Band offers durability through increased defenses and survivability via the item's passive effect. Buddy Barrier adds a large amount of HP on top of Slick Spoon and Blastoise's innate HP. It also acts as a reliable teamfight tool.

Potion gives Blastoise an additional tool for survivability. However, X Speed or Eject Button can also work with the build, giving Blastoise mobility instead. Slow Smoke also works nicely, providing additional crowd control.

The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 White Emblems for more HP and 4 Green Emblems for additional damage. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk or HP for more damage or durability, respectively. Attack, and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

Blastoise Best Items & Moveset

Best Held Item

Item Explanation
Score Shield.pngScore Shield Score Shield adds more HP on top of Blastoise's already high HP, increasing the shield generated when scoring goals.
Buddy Barrier.pngBuddy Barrier Buddy Barrier also increases Blastoise's HP. But its true value comes from the shield it generates when using a Unite Move, making it a great item for Blastoise.
Focus Band.pngFocus Band Focus Band is Blastoise's core tank item, increasing its static defenses and providing a reliable means of survivability, especially during Rapid Spin.
Wise Glasses.pngWise Glasses Wise Glasses is one of Blastoise's go-to damage item, increasing its moves' damage, particularly the Water Spout and Rapid spin combo.
Muscle Band.pngMuscle Band Muscle Band's attack speed increase allows Blastoise to perform boosted attacks faster and trigger its cooldown reduction effect. It's a great item to have when taking the jungler role.
Choice Specs.pngChoice Specs Choice Specs functions similarly to Wise Glasses, increasing Blastoise's moves' damage. It's a great item for burst damage moves like Hydro Pump.
Slick Spoon.pngSlick Spoon Slick Spoon boosts Blastoise's damage output by ignoring a portion of its target's Sp. Def., particularly when using Rapid Spin and Water Spout. Its Sp. Atk. and HP bonuses also fit well with the Pokemon's gameplay.

Best Battle Item

Item Explanation
Slow Smoke.pngSlow Smoke Slow Smoke adds more crowd control for Blastoise to work with and synergizes well with his moves.
Eject Button.pngEject Button Eject Button enables Blastoise to set-up kills for the team via the Unite move. It also allows Blastoise to stay on top of enemies even while using Rapid Spin, maximizing the damage output.
X Speed.pngX Speed X Speed improves Blastoise's overall mobility. It can be used offensively and defensively depending on the situation.
Potion.pngPotion Potion works great with Blastoise's innate HP, healing it for a large amount. It provides some survivability to Blastoise during Rapid Spin since it's exposed to enemy attacks.

List of Battle Items

Best Moveset

Move Explanation
Rapid Spin ImageRapid Spin Rapid Spin is Blastoise's most versitile move since it can be paired with any of the other moves. It can dish out tons of damage while granting immunity, making it perfect for teamfights.
Water Spout ImageWater Spout Water Spout on its own doesn't offer much for Blastoise. Its true value comes from activating it during Rapid Spin, greatly improving Rapid Spin's damage.

With the meta reverting to the traditional objective-based gameplay, the Water Spout and Rapid Spin combo has become viable once again. Furthermore, the buff to Rapid Spin allowed Water Spout to be cast for the entire duration instead of lasting for a while, dealing more damage as a result.

Choosing a moveset depends on the playstyle. For an aggressive playstyle, always choose Water Spout and Rapid Spin. For a typical defender playstyle, Surf and Hydro Pump is the best choice.

How to Play Blastoise

Jump to Section

Setup Knockouts in the Early Game

Use Skull Bash and Water Gun in the early game to set up knockouts. The best way to execute this is by using Skull Bash to quickly go behind your targets, then pushing them back with Water Gun.

Reach Level 7 Quickly

Try to reach level 7 as soon as you can so you can access your full moveset. Don't get too aggressive in the early game, and only fight if you have an advantage over your opponents. Focus on defending your goal zone, farming wild Pokemon, and scoring points if given chance.

Use Boosted Attacks to Reduce Move Cooldowns

Blastoise's Boosted Attacks will reduce your move cooldowns by 1 second per use. This will still play in effect even if no enemies are nearby! If your moves are down and a crucial fight is about to happen, don't hesitate to fire some empty attacks in the air to reduce your moves' cooldowns.

Change Playstyle Based on Moveset

Blastoise generally has two playstyles; a traditional tank or an Sp. Atk damage dealer. These playstyles depend on which moveset you chose. Knowing and understanding how these move combinations work together allows you to play the Pokemon more effectively.

Get Aggressive with Rapid Spin and Water Spout

Rapid Spin and Water Spout turns Blastoise into an AoE damage dealer, especially when used together. If you're going with this move combination, you need to be aggressive once you have them both. Aim for squishy targets like Pikachu as you can potentially knockout them out within the duration of Rapid Spin. You can also try to steal objectives like Regieleki from the enemy.

Displace Enemies with Surf and Hydro Pump

Surf and Hydro Pump allow you to displace and control enemy movements. You can shove targets towards your team or zone them out entirely from areas. You can also set up fights and make it easier for your allies to follow up with their moves.

Save Hydro Typhoon for Teamfights

Hydro Typhoon is one of the best teamfight move in the game thanks to its wide AoE, stun, and damage. Try to save Hydro Typhoon only for teamfights as much as possible as it'll give you and your team a better chance in winning the fight. Morever, it's best to use it at the start of the fight rather than as a finisher.

Hydro Typhoon: Blastoise Move Effect and Cooldown

Use Eject Button for Better Positioning

You can use Eject Button to get a better position and use Hydro Typhoon. You can either use it before Hydro Typhoon or during it.

Even Matchups for Blastoise

What makes the Pokemon effective against brawls is that most of its moves can dish out crowd control on top of its high Sp. Attack damage. Be wary, however, of Blastoise's long move cooldowns.

Fight Through the Disables

• Disengage from the fight with a Surf and Hydro Pump.

Not Enough to Burst Down Blastoise
