Blastoise (Kamekkusu in Romaji Japanese) is a Stage 2 water-type Pokémon that evolves from Wartortle at level 36. Blastoise possesses spouts extending from the top of its shell; these are used to fire blasts of water at enemies, hard enough to pierce concrete walls and thick steel. Blastoise has been described as a brutal Pokémon.

Name Origin

Blastoise's name is a combination of "Blast" and "Tortoise." Its Japanese name, Kamekkusu, which includes the word Kameku ("Turtle"), will be translated soon.
