The middle child out of the original three blastoise was doomed to be uu forever. This all changed though as Always outclassed by better spinners such as starmie or tentacruel. blastoise had been happy to setlle down retire and raise a family peacefully in uu. No longer shall this happen as blastoise got a few new treats this gen first of all and the biggest is a mega evolution with the new ability mega launcher which gives a 50% boost to all pulse moves and aura sphere. Second of all is dark pulse and aura sphere which allows him to beat every single spin blocker in the tier and not be a slouch offensively either. third of all is the big boost to his special attack stat and defensive stats as a mega. though its not all sunshine and rainbows for blastoise as he no longer has leftovers and his only recovery is rest plus he must hit gengar on the switch with or else he will be severely crippled throughout the the rest of the match. Even after all this he is a fantastic pokemon to have and makes a great partner to talonflame scolopede volcarona and many more.
a common set that blastoise may use
set name teenage mutant spinning turtles
item blastoisnite
252 hp evs 252 Spa evs 4 SpD evs
ability Torrent/mega launcher
Rapid spin
dark pulse
water pulse/hydro pump/scald
aura sphere/dragon pulse/ice beam
This will probably be the flagship set for blastoise and what makes him the best spinner in the game.
rapid spin is what gives blastoise his biggest niche as a great spinner and is almost mandatory on any set as it provides great support for the whole team. dark pulse is what makes mega blastoise such a good spinner as when boosted by mega blastoise it has a great 120 base power attack and lets him beat any spinblocker on the switch and is mandatory on any support blastoise set. water pulse is for a great stab attack boosted by mega launcher and stab making it a reliable attack that has an annoying confuse rate and is the best choice in my opinion. hydro pump is a stronger alternative but is also a lot less reliable due too less accuracy. Finally scalds the third and second best choice as it has a nifty chance to burn and can help blastoise survive that many more hits. The final spot is for whats troubles your team the most aura sphere is for hitting bulky steel types such as ferrothorn for heavy damage.m dragon pulse is for hitting any dragon not quad weak to ice harder and can hit a lot of things really hard for neutral damage. he third and final slot is realiable old ice beam and although its not mega launcher boosted like the other too it can hit bulky grass types bar ferrothorn harder then the other two while taking care of dragons too. overall blastoise is an amazing spinner and don't ever underestimate it or it will cost you.
