Blastoise

Blastoise, also known as Kamex (, Kamekkusu) in Japan, is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Creature description
Blastoise is a humansized bulky bipedal tortoise with a massive brown shell. The Pokédex says that the specie's main feature is a pair of pressurized water jets within its shell that it can extend and retract through door-like slots on it shell. The water spouts blast out streams of water with even more force than a fire hose, with force hard enough to pierce concrete walls and punch through thick steel. To withstand the recoil of the water jets it fires, it deliberately makes itself heavy, and it firmly plants its feet on the ground. Blastoise is also very accurate with its spouts; it can shoot bullets of water with enough accuracy to strike empty cans from a distance of over 160 feet. The spouts can be pointed backwards to behind its head, and spouting them in this position propels it forward, which it uses for high-speed tackles. It crushes its foe under its heavy body to cause fainting. In a pinch, it will withdraw inside its shell.

In the Pokémon RPGs, it is the final evolution of the Water-type Starter Pokémon of the first generation, Squirtle. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle at level 16, then evolves into Blastoise at level 36.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon
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 contacts with the blasts of water will take moderate damage. The character will also be pushed towards the 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, witch will then take moderate to high damage. Blastoise also moves back slightly for each blast of water, and can fall off the stage.

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..

As a trophy
Blastoise features 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. It reads as follows:


 * 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.
