Moves List
Without TMs, Mega Blastoise's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get coverage across 9 types on top of Hydro Cannon and Hydro Pump for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

Mega Blastoise develops a solid moveset just through leveling. Hydro Pump and Skull Bash show up naturally, and the progression handles both STAB and utility without leaning on TMs for the core attacks.
