Get ready to make a big splash in Pokémon UNITE, as Blastoise is now available to join your team. This popular
Pokémon is a Ranged Defender, and it’s sure to provide some useful support for
your squad. This Pokémon begins each match as Squirtle, but it will evolve into
Wartortle at Lv. 5 and Blastoise at Lv. 9. You can even make your Blastoise
look positively fancy with its Fashionable Style Holowear.
Blastoise’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every
third attack, dealing continual damage and decreasing the movement speed of
opposing Pokémon for a short time when it hits. Blastoise’s Ability, Torrent,
causes its Attack and Sp. Atk to increase when the Pokémon is at half HP or
less. Now, let’s look at Blastoise’s available moves.
At Lv. 1 and Lv. 3, Squirtle can learn Water Gun and Skull
Bash. Water Gun is a ranged attack that hits opponents with a shot of
water, shoving them back and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. Skull
Bash, on the other hand, is a dash attack in which Squirtle fiercely rams an
opposing Pokémon and temporarily leaves it unable to act.
When Squirtle reaches Lv. 5,
Water Gun can be upgraded into one of two moves. Hydro Pump is a ranged
attack in which Squirtle blasts out a huge volume of water, dealing damage to
opposing Pokémon and shoving them when it hits. The move can be further
upgraded to increase the damage it deals. Water Spout is an area attack in
which Squirtle sprays water toward a designated location, decreasing the
movement speed of opposing Pokémon in the area of effect for a short time. Like
Hydro Pump, it can be upgraded to increase its damage.
By Lv. 7, Squirtle will have
already evolved into Wartortle, and you’ll be able to upgrade Skull Bash into
one of two moves. Surf is a dash attack that has Wartortle charge
forward on a wave, shoving opposing Pokémon and leaving them unable to act for
a short time. Wartortle becomes immune to hindrances while using this move and
can jump in a designated direction once this move ends. You can even upgrade
Surf to grant Wartortle a shield when the move hits. Rapid Spin is a self-buff
move that causes Wartortle to spin rapidly, changing the mechanics of its basic
attacks as well as its Hydro Pump and Water Spout moves. An upgrade to Rapid
Spin reduces the damage Wartortle receives while using it.
To inflict some real damage, take advantage of Blastoise’s
Unite Move, Hydro Typhoon, which it learns at Lv. 9. This area attack has
Blastoise spout water in all directions while it spins. Any opposing Pokémon
caught in the attack’s large area of effect will be thrown. The move also
grants Blastoise a shield to protect it from incoming attacks.
Blastoise is ready to shell out some punishment and defend
your team. You can surf on over to the Unite Battle Committee shop and get
Blastoise’s Unite license now.
