When combined with moves like <\/span><b>Protect<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>Toxic<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Blastoise can stall out opponents while recovering HP every turn during rainy weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Blastoise\u2019s Evolutionary Line<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blastoise evolves from <\/span><b>Wartortle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which itself evolves from <\/span><b>Squirtle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the beloved Water-type starter Pok\u00e9mon from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coloringonly.com\/games\/pokemon\/#gen-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generation 1<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
