Answer 1

Hydro pump/Surf- Stab, good power, your choice

Aqua ring/Protect-aqua ring helps him restore even more health, and protect lets him stall and gain HP back.

ice beam- Grass types? check

toxic- wear down foes. He's got the defenses for it.

Comments

Ok what about Flash Cannon Instead of toxic?

---

If you see a need for it, then go ahead, I couldn't think of anything else.

---

All right, thx, but 1 thing, im out of earthquake tms! What Should I replace it with?

---

Oh  noes! The only other ground type move it can learn is dig.

---

Al right, ill use dig, since you can buy the dig tms, ill neve run out of them

---

Out of Earthquakes! That's my worst nightmare! Good thing I have a brother to play the games through and get me Earthquake and other TMs.

---

Mine knows outrage instead of toxic :) I randomly decided to get the bp to get it and now it pisses off and confuses my friends. I kow its kinda pointless cause he already know ice beam but I think its a nice touch

Answer 2

I have three movesets, all with a variation from the standard Blastoise. These work great because you don't have Earthquake and Dig isn't very good. It is order of what I think is best to worst:

1. Offensive and Defensive: Leftovers

Surf: STAB, good power, high accuracy, double damage against diving foes.

Ice Beam: Good power, high accuracy, chance to freeze, used to deal with Grass types.

Mirror Coat: An effective counter to Sp. Attacks, which Blastoise can survive.

Iron Defense: To make sure Blastoise isn't beaten by Physical moves.

1. Defensive Behemoth: Leftovers

Toxic: Can't have a defensive set without this can we?

Iron Defense: Makes Blastoise into even more of a defensive behemoth.

Aqua Ring: Heals Blastoise.

Water Spout: So we aren't crippled by Taunt. High power with high HP (which is great with Aqua Ring), STAB, high accuracy, deals with Poison and Steel types who won't be harmed by Toxic.

1. Ultimate Offense: Lum Berry

Skull Bash: Increases defense on turn one, then unleashes a high damaging, high accuracy attack onturn two.

Rain Dance: Increases the power of Surf.

Ice Beam: Good power, high accuracy, STAB, chance to freeze, used to deal with Grass types.

Surf: Good power, high accuracy, double damage against diving Pokemon , STAB, powered up by Rain Dance.

Answer 3

Hydro Pump: While less reliable than Surf, it does a massive amount of damage.

Ice Beam: Deals with multiple foes.

HP Grass: Deals with foes of the water type.

Yawn: Good for forcing switches or just putting the foe to sleep.

Answer 4

Gen V: rain abuser:

Ability: rain Dish

suggested item: Leftovers

---

Aqua Ring-Restores health gradually. Works well with rain dish.

Water Spout/Surf/ScaldSTAB, gets powered from rain. Water spout can work very well with the rain, STAB, and his health constantly going up. Surf isn't always as strong, but is more reliable. Scald leaves the chance to burn, cutting attack power in the process.

Ice beam-covers grass weakness.

refresh/toxic/haze-Support move of your choice.

Answer 5

Gen V

Blastoise (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Rain Dish

EVs: 128 HP / 184 Def / 196 SDef

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

• Scald
• Aqua Ring
• Protect
• Ice Beam

A more defensive Blastoise, that can do decnt damage with Scald and Ice Beam, Scald especially with STAB and hopefully Rain support. A combined Rain Dish, Leftovers, and Aqua Ring can do quite a lot of healing, and Scald can burn the foe, meaning Blastoise has even better defensive capabilities. Protect can give you a free turn with healing and burn damage for the foe.

Answer 6

Another Rapid Spinner/Staller

Rapid Spin-get rid of Stealth Rock etc..
Surf/Ice Beam-STAB or Grass types
Toxic-you know why
Protect-one turn to increase Toxic

Evs:252 HP 128 DEF 128 SP DEF
Ability:Torrent
Item-Leftovers

Answer 7

SP Attacker:

Surf/Water Spout-STAB
Ice Beam-Grass types
Focus Blast-coverage
HP Ground-Electric types

Item-Choice Specs
Evs-252 SP ATT 252 HP
Ability-Torrent

Answer 8

Here's a special attack lure I made a while back. It works well with rain dish. The suggested item is leftovers.

aqua ring-Restores health gradually

Iron Defense-Boosts up defense, making the enemy more inclined to use special moves on you.

mirror coat-Deflects special damage back at the opponent with double damage.

Surf/brine/scald-STAB; there in case you come across a dark type.

Answer 9

Blastoise (M) @ Leftovers

Role: Annoyer

Trait: Torrent

EVs: 4 HP / 96 Def / 156 SAtk / 252 SDef

Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

• Iron Defense
• Mud-Slap
• Muddy Water
• Aqua Ring or Toxic

---

If you ever want to really get on someones nerves, Add this to your team.

Mud-Slap Muddy Water combo Lets Mud Slap Start for some annoying Accuracy hax, and then he can start doing a good amount of Damage, While still destroying your opponents accuracy.

Iron Defense lets him Quickly Shoot up his Defense to be as good as his Special Defense.

And You have the Option of Aqua Ring or Toxic for More consistant Damage or More Healing on top of leftovers.

Answer 10

Gen III

Blastoise (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Torrent

EVs: 136 HP / 16 Atk / 252 Def / 104 SDef

Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)

• Toxic
• Dig - Physical
• Hydro Pump - Special
• Ice Beam - Special

---

Equalized attacking stats by using just 16 Ev's, so another mixed Starter it is!

Toxic is painful to anything not steel or poison type, which is alot.
Dig takes out Poison and Steel types, but it's main purpose is stalling out Toxic without using protect, and dealing some decent damage when it hits, Sweet!
Ice Beam takes down birds who you can't hit with the Toxic + Dig ( Uh oh ) Combo.
And Hydro Pump ( He needs the extra power in there ) is for a nasty STAB hit to anything levitating or that just needs to be nailed.
Go Blastoise!

Answer 11

Double/Triple Battle

Blastoise (M) @ Choice Scarf

Trait: Torrent/Rain Dish
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Water Spout
- Surf
- Blizzard/Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]

Give this guy Rain Dance support, and you'll be OHKOing everything. Torrent is probably the best ability, as it helps make Surf better when you are down on HP. However, Rain Dish can keep you healthy, especially if you team up Blastoise with Heal Pulse support. Water Spout OHKOs every foe you'll face (exaggerating, but it still is incredibly powerful). Surf is for use when you are down on HP and is still an effective multi-battle attack, especially if you team it up with Water Absorb or Storm Drain. Blizzard gives coverage while also hitting mutilple foes. However, it is inaccurate, especially since you won't be having Hail support since if you will have any weather support it will be Rain Dance. Ice Beam is more accurate yet less powerful and only hits one foe. HP Electric is coverage.

Answer 12

This moveset is sort of like DarkTyphlosions,but with some different moves:

Aqua tail-I wouldn't go with Hydro Pump with only 5PP.

Ice beam-Deal with those grass types!Also a chance to freeze the foe.

Scull Bash-High accuracy and high attack.

Earthquake-Deal with thoses electric types!

Answer 13

Rapid spinner set

Rapid spin(to clear out annoying entry hazards)

Surf(STAB)

Ice beam- covers grass

Toxic(DEATH)

Answer 14

Moveset for Wartortle.

Gen V

Wartortle(F)@Eviolite

Trait-Torrent

Calm Nature(-Attack +Sp Defense)

EVs-252 Defense 252 Dp Defense 4 Sp Attack

• Yawn
• Protect
• Scald
• Rest/Toxic

This Is the standard Moveset for Wartortle. Yawn is there to put foes to sleep, Protect Is there to ensure that Yawn will hit and you won't receive damage. Scald is there for STAB and if you are lucky, Burn Hax which makes you a better Wall. Rest is to recover when you need it and Toxic is there to badly Poison foes. Rest is more recommended when its not used in a Drizzle team, and Toxic for running Rain Dish with Drizzle.

Answer 15

Doubles / Triples

Blastoise (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Surf
- Blizzard
- Aqua Ring
- Protect

Surf is STAB and hits multiple spaces, Blizzard is coverage and hits multiple spaces.
Aqua Ring + Lefties is nice, and if rain comes up you have RD at your service.
Protect can come handy in weird situations and can stall out for more HP.

Trait: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
