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.
