Best moveset for Blastoise in Pokemon Go

The best moveset for Blastoise is Water Gun as a Fast Attack, and either Ice Beam and/or Hydro Cannon for Charged Attacks.

Water Gun possesses a better energy stat in Go than Bite, which makes it ideal. If combined with Hydro Cannon, Blastoise can do serious damage to opposing Pokemon.

Hydro Cannon can be obtained via the Squirtle Community Day Classic that will take place on July 9, 2023. Those who evolve Squirtle into Wartortle, and Wartortle into Blastoise, will have the ability to add Hydro Cannon to Blastoise’s moveset.
