Pokédex Entries

Gigantamax Blastoise's G-Max Move

Move	Type	Effect
G-Max Cannonade		A Water-type attack that Gigantamax Blastoise use. After damaging, continues to deal damage for four turns to any Pokémon that isn’t Water type.

How to Get Gigantamax Blastoise

Gigantamax Blastoise only appears in the Isle of Armor which is included in the Expansion Pass DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield.

The Squirtle obtained for free in The Isle of Armor already has the ability to Gigantamax as soon as it evolves into Blastoise. Otherwise, it's possible to use Max Soup to allow a different Blastoise to Gigantamax.

Isle of Armor Dens

You also have a chance to find a Gigantamax Blastoise in two of the Isle of Armor Dens. Namely: Workout Sea and Stepping-Stone Sea

The odds of encountering a Gigantamax Blastoise is low so be patient when it comes to checking the Dens!

How to Get Blastoise

Receive as a Gift on the Isle of Armor

Near the beginning of your adventure on The Isle of Armor, you'll be able to choose between a Bulbasaur or a Squirtle. If you choose Squirtle, you can evolve it into a Blastoise, and what's more, it automatically starts out with Gigantamax potential! The Squirtle obtained in this way will have Torrent, its standard Ability, and three perfect IVs.

Should you Choose Bulbasaur or Squirtle?

Available Through Pokemon HOME

Although Blastoise is originally not obtainable in Pokemon Sword and Shield, you can get it by transferring it from Pokemon's new cloud service, Pokemon HOME, to the game.

When downloading the mobile version of Pokemon HOME for the first time, you can receive a Hidden Ability Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle as a free gift. You can evolve the Squirtle obtained in this way to get a Blastoise with its Hidden Ability, Rain Dish!
