That’s why we’ve decided to put together this guide, in which we’ll give you all the info you’ll need to emerge victorious.
Pokemon GO Mega Blastoise Best Moveset
We’re going to dive into the best moveset for Mega Blastoise in Pokemon GO before getting into its weakness and counters, and you’ll see why in a second. Without a doubt, the best combo is Water Gun (Water) as the Quick Attack and Hydro Cannon (Water) as the Charged Attack. Now, Hydro Cannon is an Elite TM. In practice, that means that it’s “easiest” to get by capturing Mega Blastoise from a Raid. That’s why it’s so important to try and do so.
The only other Quick Move on offer here is Bite (Dark), which is just not as good. As for Charged Moves, Mega Blastoise can also have Hydro Pump (Water), Ice Beam (Ice), Skull Bash (Normal), Flash Cannon (Steel), Frustration (Normal, Shadow) and Return (Normal, Purified). Some of these can be pretty useful, but none are as good as Hydro Cannon, to be frank.
