Offensive Moves Explanation
-
Water Gun sports higher EPS and better synergy with Hydro Pump, therefore it is marginally better than Bite.
-
Hydro Cannon is a better Water-type attack than Hydro Pump.
-
Hydro Pump is Blastoise's optimal non-exclusive charge move.
-
Ice Beam has its select advantageous matchups.
- Flash Cannon is an awful 1-bar charge move.
Defensive Moves Explanation
-
Bite hits as hard as Water Gun and is less resisted by Grass-type counters.
-
Ice Beam is Blastoise’s only multi-bar charge move and has counter coverage against Grass-types.
-
Hydro Cannon can do some damage but lacks type coverage.
-
Hydro Pump hits hard and early in the animation, but Blastoise may not live to use it.
- Even when Hydro Pump is resisted, Flash Cannon is still worse.
Rating Explanation
Blastoise: the OG bad Vaporeon. After 3 generations of Pokemon, there are now numerous bad Vaporeon, who itself is now a worse Gyarados.
On defense, Blastoise is also weak. Its fast moves barely do anything to attackers, while its bulk is nowhere close to that of Vaporeon or Milotic.
