Blastoise is a large, bipedal, blue tortoise with a brown shell, and two water cannons that jut out of the top of its shell. The cannons can be withdrawn inside the shell, or rotated to point backwards; this enables Blastoise to commence jet assisted rams.
Blastoise can shoot water from its cannons with enough force to punch holes in steel, and enough accuracy to hit an empty can 160 feet away.
Despite their size, Blastoise are very gentle, and calm Pokémon. They may be weary at first but can be very good allies in battle. They mainly take the role of leaders in large groups of Squirtle or Wartortle.
Blastoise can be found living on island beaches near the ocean, but their preferred habitat seems to be freshwater ponds, and lakes.
(Unconfirmed!)
Its design appears to be a turtle mixed with aspects of a tank. It might also be partially based on Gamera.
Blastoise's name is a combination of "blast," referring to its cannons, and "tortoise." Blastoise's name may also come from the word "Blastoid," which are an extinct type of stemmed echinoderm with small hickory nut shaped fossils.
