Blastoise (), known as Kamex (Japanese: カメックス, Hepburn: Kamekkusu) in Japan, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. A blue, tortoise-based Pokémon, it is the evolved form of Wartortle and the final evolution of Squirtle. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, it is one of three final evolutions of the first Pokémon players can choose from, alongside Venusaur and Charizard, and is featured on the box art of Pokémon Blue. Since Blastoise's debut, it has appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise. It was among the most popular Pokémon action figures as of September 2000, and a Blastoise card was among the most valuable in the Trading Card Game. Classified as a Water-type Pokémon, Blastoise is a large blue bipedal turtle Pokémon, featuring a pair of water cannons protruding from its shell above its shoulders and three claws on its hands and feet. It has received multiple powered up forms, including Mega Blastoise and the larger Gigantamax Blastoise, which change its design. Blastoise has received positive reception, identified as one of the most popular Pokémon. The nature and workings of Blastoise's water cannons were the subject of scholarly commentary, with one author estimating that they could lift Blastoise 10 stories and another estimating that they produce 386,000 joules of energy. The way the series handled its cannons was also the subject of commentary, with criticism following the game no longer having water coming from its cannons and praise for changing it back.
