So, now that the dust has settled, can we safely say that this guy is a sub-par Mega?

in a certain sense yes, it is disappointing for it not becoming OU material

I can't understand the appeal to this guy.

I mean, I like the regular one despite thinking it should be more wartortle-like. But this? I just... it was a disappointment.

it's decent but isn't cut out for the hyper offensive, sanic fast meta that developed in Gen 6

tl;dr, competitive pokemon is garbage

It's amazing, has served me well. I mean, by itself it's not anything that can't be handled, but its Water Spout and coverage are simply fantastic.

Not bad.

I'm surprised the opponent didn't go for the Aromatisse though on the first turn considering the blatant Trick Room set up.

At the very least, it is miles better than regular Blastoise.

However, it's not really worth a mega slot.

The opponent had 2 priority users out, so probably was more so fearing the Aura Sphere/Water Spout than the Trick Room. I think they realized they messed up when I revealed the Heal Pulse.

It got screwed because Mega Launcher only workd for pulse moves when it should involve launching/canon moves altogether.

I was at least hoping Hydro Pump would get a boost, but that's not happening.

hydro pump + stab + mega launcher boost is
110 X 1.5 X 1.5 = 247.5 BP right?

It just needs Shell Smash.

-Shell Smash
-Aura Sphere
-Water Pulse
-Dragon Pulse/Ice Beam

It would be a top tier sweeper.

All Pokémon that get Shell Smash don't have their shell directly linked to the body (Carracosta is "wearing" it like some sort of armor for example), while Blastoise's one is clearly part of its body, meaning that it would die if you removed it.

The black ball is clearly detached from the shell.

And yet Gorebyss and Huntail can have it because they evolve from Clamperl.

Game Freak does not give a shit about this type of logic so it really doesn't apply.

That's because a Pokémon mysteriously losing a move upon evolving would make even less sense. Gorebyss can smash its shells bra anyway.

Pretty sure this guy wouldn't enjoy you removing his shell. It doesn't work how you think it works.

How does being unable to do it anymore not make sense? It's not "mysterious", it's logical.
