Verdict
Situational
Mega Blastoise is a solid but not elite Rock-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#15) in raid performance. With a max CP of 4,455 and base stats of 264/237/188, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Rock-type counters. The best moveset is Rollout paired with Hydro Cannon. Consider investing if you need a Rock-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
