Oshawott is a small otter-like Pokémon that is one of the three starter Pokémon offered in Pokémon: Black and White Versions. It is the first in a three-step evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being Dewott and Samurott.

Information

Oshawott is a small, blue Pokémon that resembles a sea otter. It appears to be weak, yet it has a scalchop on its stomach that is made from the same material as claws. Oshawott is capable of removing the scalchop for use as a blade. When it is attacked, an Oshowatt immediately responds by slashing at the enemy with its scalchop.

It evolves into Dewott at Level 17.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, Oshawott is in the box of three starter Pokémon which Professor Juniper sends to the player character's house at the beginning of the game. If the player does not choose Oshawott, it goes to either Cheren (if the player chooses Tepig) or Bianca (if the player chooses Snivy).

Other Appearances

Other Media

• In the Pokémon anime series, Oshawott winds up being the Pokémon Ash gets from Professor Juniper, but it is unintentional. At the lab, the Oshawott is enthralled by Ash upon first seeing him and leaves the lab secretly following Ash for several episodes until it is discovered and becomes part of Ash's party, with the professor willingly sending Ash the Oshowatt's Pokéball.

Trivia

• The end of its name refers to "otter", and the entirety of its name may be a play on "ocean water". It could also refer to Oshawa, an area of Canada in which otters reside.
