A Dewott in a battle in the anime

Dewott is a bipedal otter-like Pokémon. It is mainly light blue in color, with a navy blue apron-like fringe of fur around its thighs that bears two scalchops. It has a black platypus-like tail and small black ears. Its feet and paws are black, with three digits on each. It has a tuft of blue fur sprouting from the back of its head. It has ovular black eyes, four white whiskers, and a round pink nose. Dewott is often seen with a frown of intense concentration etched on its face.

Dewott are very serious Pokémon. They are very avid when it comes to practicing their dual-scalchop attack techniques. This Pokémon lives in the water and can only be found in the Unova region.

In the anime

A Dewott was seen in episode 4 of Pokémon Best Wishes when it was battling another trainer's Servine and won, despite Servine having a Type Advantage. It then battled Ash's Pikachu, but the battle was interrupted.

Cilan's rival, Burgundy, owns a Dewott, as seen in Episode 19. However, it lost to Cilan's Dwebble in battle.

Trivia

Dewott was first seen on a Beta artwork of the Pocket Monsters Best Wishes anime series along with Servine, Woobat, and Axew. On September 1, 2010, an image containing all of the evolutions of the starter Pokémon was shown on a Japanese forum. It was officially revealed on the October issue of CoroCoro on September 11, 2010.
The tuft of fur on Dewott's head may become the shell atop Samurott's head when it evolves.
In PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, Dewott appears in the Cove Town as one of the trainers. After Oshawott defeats him in battle, he becomes Oshawott's teacher.

Origin

Dewott is based on a sea otter, with samurai traits.

Etymology

Dewott's English name is likely derived from "dew" (due to its Water element), "dual" (on account of its two scalchops), and "otter."

Dewott's Japanese name, Futachimaru, could possibly originate from "fu" as in Kung Fu (since it carries the design of a Kung Fu warrior with a shield around its waist and tuft of fur atop its head), chi from chibi (since that's a Japanese style of drawing and Dewott's eyes resemble chibi style) and "maru" to have its name similar to Mijumaru, or Oshawott, its pre-evolution. It's also possible that it comes from Futachi, "two" in Japanese, and "maru", just to match Mijumaru.
