Overview
Blastoise is a Water-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Shellfish Pokemon (Dex #009). It is the final evolution of Squirtle, evolving from Wartortle. Blastoise is notable for having two specialties: Water and Trade. Standing at 5'3" and weighing 188.5 lbs, Blastoise has jet nozzles on its shell that it uses to charge towards foes with all the force of a rocket.
Habitat
Blastoise can appear in two different habitats:
Habitat | Requirements | Rarity | Other Pokemon |
|---|---|---|---|
Tall Grass x 4, Water x 2 | Very Rare | ||
Floating in the Shade | Inflatable Boat x 1, Beach Parasol x 1, Water x 2 | Rare | Blastoise only |
The Floating in the Shade habitat is the recommended option since Blastoise is the only Pokemon that spawns there. Building it requires an inflatable boat, a beach parasol, and two water blocks. The recipe for the Inflatable Boat can be obtained randomly from inspecting glowing water spots or from the Pokemon Center PC's daily items. The Beach Parasol can be picked up directly from beach areas in Bleak Beach.
The Hydrated Tall Grass habitat is simpler to build but Blastoise is classified as Very Rare there, competing with four other Pokemon for spawns.
Location
Blastoise appears in any area where its habitats are built. It is active during all times of day and all weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, and rainy). The Floating in the Shade habitat can be built in any region that has water access.
How to Befriend
Build the Floating in the Shade habitat for the best chance at encountering Blastoise. Blastoise is classified as Very Rare at the Hydrated Tall Grass habitat and Rare at Floating in the Shade, having a dedicated habitat with no competing spawns increases your effective encounter rate. Once Blastoise appears, interact with it and complete its requests.
Specialties
Blastoise has two specialties:
Water: Pokemon with the Water specialty can use a full water basin to spray water on nearby fields and plants. This automates crop watering when a water basin is placed near your farm.
Trade: Pokemon with the Trade specialty can exchange items with you at a cash register. This gives you access to additional trading options beyond the standard Pokemon Center shop.
The Trade specialty makes Blastoise particularly valuable for players looking to acquire specific items through exchanges. Combined with the Water specialty for automated farming support, Blastoise is one of the more useful fully evolved starters.
