>>45209851Blastoise isn't OP enough to make everyone want to team build around it.
Blastoise's hidden ability isn't strong enough to team build around.
Needing a turn to set up to make itself fast isn't as good as Charizard already being fast or Venusaur being fast as long as there's sun.
It's not our fault the cannon turtle isn't OP enough to get jerked off by every tryhard who wants to win. Blame gamefreak for not making Blastoise as powerful in the rain as Charizard and Venusaur are in the sun. They should just give him a more powerful hidden ability. Better leftovers is just nowhere near as good as doubling speed or fifty-percent boost to every special attack when your STAB moves are already being doubled.
If they really want to do a speed-power-defense triangle with the three of them, then make it so Blastoise's defense and special defense get a fifty percent boost in the rain, just like how rock types get a special defense boost in a sandstorm, then at least Blastoise will be the best tank around.
