Blastoise Moveset

Hello all,

I have a 1454cp blastoise that is 87%IV and has Bite and Hydro pump. Should i power him up or wait to evolve another? Not sure which one is more efficient. This is my first blastoise and im welcoming any feedback.Thanks!

I would wait for water gun
Water Gun does do noticebly more damage than bite on Blastoise. Also , bite as dark type is not very useful on Blastoise. Slowbro and Exeggutor are the only popular defender countered by dark but resists hydro pump.

yea just wasnt sure if it mattered since it would charge hydro pump just as fast, id be using him as an attacker mostly btw

according to Kukui, water gun +hydro pump does 10% less damage than bite+hydro pump (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hcFo7-UGWx1k1u1BHOvDhq8foPeRr7YbX2jLjjJK0Qw/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true#)

Comparing to IV, 0 attack IV Blastoise does 7.5% less damage than full attack IV one (1-186/(186+15)=7.5%)

Although Kukui did not consider energy gain from losing HP, it is accurate enough to do this rough math.

On the other hand, I only use Blastoise to counter defenders that weak to water; or to against steal wing Dragonite (bite/water gun+ ice beam Blastoise).

Bite + hydro pump Blastoise is just good at nothing imo. But 87% Blastoise is a thing, you do not want to transfer it. He can do his job to train your own gym, just not good enough to be powered up this patch.
