Blastoise, The Shellfish Pokémon. It is a brutal Pokémon with pressurized Water Jets on it's shell. They're used for high speed tackles. Once it takes aim, it blasts out water with more force than a full power fire hose. It deliberetly makes itself heavy so it is capable of withstanding the recoil of it's Water Jets. The Water it shoots from its jets are so powerful that it can blow holes through thick steel. It's Water spouts are very accurate. They can shoot bullets of water with enough accuracy to strike empty cans over 165 feet away.

Strategy Using Blastoise
Blastoise, the Pokemon with the defenses greater than its offensive stats. It also learns quite a few moves for it to be a tank or sweeper.
Just a little mention before going too much into detail with this moveset, Ice beam could be replaced with Protect since you may want to get an idea of what moves it may use.
Counter could be replaced with Rest and instead of leftovers, a Chesto berry could be included to avoid the two turn sleep condition that might do more harm than good.
Mirror coat is an obvious must due to its high special defense, it should survive at least one special attack, and with Mirror coat, it would be able to deal quite a bit of damage.
Also, don't rule out Haze on this somewhere, which will eliminate any of your opponent's attempts of powering up to sweep Blastoise away.
As for surf, its required for the STAB boost and in case you need it, like when Mirror coat/Counter will not help. As its weak to Grass and Electric type moves, you may find it easy to predict when to use Mirror coat.
Of course Blastoise is a good Pokemon, it has excellent defenses and not too bad offensive stats, it could be used with moves like Body slam for its paralysing effects. Or even put Toxic on that moveset somewhere.
So Blastoise, good Pokemon, great potential, excellent movepool and good stats, mix and match moves that will suit the team you have.
