Q&A

Grass (×2), Electric (×2). Resists Steel, Fire, Water, Ice. Calculated from the gen 3 type chart (FireRed/LeafGreen).

Squirtle evolves into Wartortle starting at level 16. Wartortle evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36.

Our take: Yes. Blastoise pairs bulk with Surf/Ice Beam and has only two weaknesses. A safe pick almost everywhere in Kanto, including the Elite Four.
