Is there ANY way to make this guy shine in competitive? Even with the Mega and the new attacks, he's still sub-par.

I think I know what the problem is, anon.

It's extremely gimmicky but Z-Rain Dance is fun in doubles with Rain Dish and full speed and special attack investment.

Your water attacks do more damage, you get a speed boost, and a small heal all at once.

Fake out/ scald, toxic, rapid spin, dark pulse/ scald

What does it get now that it didn't before

>>31911167

no there is no way to make it work in OU. it can work in UU with standard sets though
>>
>>31911877
A special attack boost in Work Up. Still not a good move on Blastoise

Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Aura Sphere as of XY.
>>
>>31911167
Some little buffs to Mega Launcher would be good, like adding stuff like Hydro Pump and Flash Cannon into boosted moves.
>>
>>31911167
As a M.Blastoise user myself, I can say the best way to use him is as a bulky scald user/wallbreaker.
>>
>>31913075
But he breaks no walls. There are so many ways to stop him in his tracks and he isn't tanky enough for his damage output.
>>
>>31913213
He's no good asa Spinner either. Vulnerable to all three entry hazards, whereas Starmie can mitigate Spikes and SR damage with Recover and doesn't care about poison thanks to Natural Cure. Meanwhile, Excadrill 4x resists SR and is Immune to Toxic Spikes.
>>
Mega Launcher boosting Hydro Pump and Ice Beam would make him drastically better
>>
>>31913213
That's why I suggested scald. Not as powerful as STAB launcher water pulse or hydro pump, but the burn chance is great and with M.Blastoises solid 120 base defense as this makes him extremely tough to K.O. on the physical front.

The "breaker" moves are all the other pulse and aura moves, plus ice beam: dragon pulse, aura sphere, dark pulse and ice beam. Go with either dark pulse or ice beam depending on what coverage your team needs. After that just go with a modest nature and go all in on his HP and special attack EVs with the leftovers going to either one of his defenses and you've got a fairly solid tank.

Just never lead with it. M.Blastoise is better used as a late game cleaner.
>>
Has their ever been a time where Blastoise wasn't completely outclassed by Starmie?
>>
Nope. Irredeemable UU poopmon.
