Blastoise Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Blastoise has a 530 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. It works best as a balanced. Protect with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, yes. Mega Blastoise hits 630 BST, a solid jump from the base 530. Hold the Mega Stone, trigger it in battle, and it lasts the whole fight. One Mega per team.
Torrent strengthens water moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less. That's the one you want on Blastoise. Rain Dish is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Blastoise fills the balanced role. It's a special attacker with base 85 Sp. Atk. Base 78 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
