Blastoise is best used as a bulky Water-type attacker in Pokemon Champions. Its strongest build is Mega Blastoise, which gives teams strong special coverage, good natural bulk and reliable pressure into Fire, Rock and Ground-type Pokemon.

Page Status: This Blastoise build guide will be updated when new Pokemon Champions regulations, items, buffs or nerfs change its best set.
Blastoise has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Mega Blastoise build is the stronger offensive option, while the bulky support build is better when another Pokemon needs the Mega slot.
This is the main Blastoise build. It focuses on strong Water-type damage and wide special coverage, making Blastoise a steady attacker that can stay useful across many matchups.

Blastoise and Mega Blastoise are shown together below for easy comparison.
Blastoisinite is the best item for the main build because it enables Mega Blastoise and gives Blastoise Mega Launcher. This makes its pulse and aura moves much more threatening.
Sitrus Berry or Leftovers are the best options for the non-Mega build. These items give Blastoise better staying power when it is being used as a defensive support Pokemon.
Blastoise works best with Pokemon that cover Electric and Grass weaknesses, benefit from its support options or help it pressure bulky teams.
Blastoise is strong against Fire, Rock and Ground-type Pokemon. Mega Blastoise also has enough coverage to pressure Psychic, Dark and Steel-adjacent defensive cores depending on its moves.
The bulky support build is useful against teams that struggle to break Water-type bulk, especially when Blastoise can slow enemies with Icy Wind or boost a partner with Helping Hand.
Blastoise is threatened by Electric and Grass-type damage. Strong special attackers, weather disruption and Pokemon that resist Water damage can make Blastoise much less threatening.
Resists Water damage and threatens Blastoise with Grass-type attacks.
Pressures Blastoise with Electric-type attacks and can disrupt its positioning.
Resists Water damage and threatens Blastoise with Electric-type pressure.

Blastoise is worth using if your team wants a bulky Water-type Pokemon with dependable special damage and useful coverage. Mega Blastoise is the better pick when Blastoise is one of your main attackers.
The non-Mega build is less threatening, but it is flexible and useful when your team needs Water-type support instead of another full offensive centerpiece.
