  +
It has a {{Type|Water}}/{{Type|Dark}} [[Regional form #Hisuian Form|Hisuian Form]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].
−
== Appearance ==
  
−
Samurott has a pointed nose, with large pale-blue moustache/goatee-like growths protruding from it, which it has developed from Dewott's whiskers and Oshawott's dimples. On the back of its head, Samurott has a large yellow conch shell with a very long horn with two spikes on it. It has a long dark-blue body with a light blue-gray belly and four legs with yellow armor-like shells divided into threes on them, those on it's front legs are in fact where its swords, known as Seamitars are stored. Its tail resembles that of a fish and is heart-like shape with a small shell in the middle that makes it look like a deformed oval. It eyes have reverted back to how they were with Oshawott's as they are now white with colored pupils as opposed to Dewott's eyes, which were black with white pupils.

===Physiology===
−
[[File:SAmurott2.png|150px|thumb]]
  
  +
====Unovan====
−
Samurott's debut was in [[MS014: Pokémon The Movie: Black - Victini & Reshiram / Pokémon The Movie: White - Victini & Zekrom]] under the ownership of Leeku. It made it to the semi-finals in the tournament but was defeated by [[Ash's Tepig]] due to [[Victini]] lending Tepig its power. Kotetsu also has a very powerful Samurott. He used it to battle Marlon at the Humilau gym. It easly defeated Marlon's Mantine without it even successfully landing an attack.
  
  +
Samurott is a quadrupedal, aquatic mammalian Pokémon that resembles a sea lion. It is different to its previous evolutions, which were bipedal. It has a pointed nose, with large pale-blue mustache/goatee-like growths protruding from it, which it has developed from Dewott's whiskers and Oshawott's dimples. On the back of its head, Samurott has a large yellow conch shell with a very long horn with two spikes on it. It has a long dark-blue body with a light blue-gray belly and four legs with yellow armor-like shells divided into threes on them, those on its front legs are in fact where its swords, known as seamitars are stored. Its tail resembles that of a fish and is heart-like shaped with a small shell in the middle that makes it look like a deformed oval. Its eyes have reverted to how they were with Oshawott's as they are now white with colored pupils as opposed to Dewott's eyes, which were black with white pupils. [[Razor Shell]] can be thought as the signature move of Samurott along with its pre-evolutions if [[Shellder]] isn't counted.
   
  +
====Hisuian====
−
==Special Abilities==
  
  +
Hisuian Samurott has dark colored armor with red accents and a jagged horn on its head. Its facial fur is wavier than its modern counterparts.
−
It is able to silence its opponents by glaring at them. It can also terrify opponents by howling, which can be heard for miles. Unlike [[Oshawott]] and [[Dewott]], Samurott can walk on all fours or presumably two as the shells on its forelegs are sheathed for two large swords. Samurott's shell arrangements are somewhat based on samurai armour.
  
  +
  +
===Behavior===
  +
====Unovan====
  +
Samurott are famous for their valiant natures and fighting prowess. In spite of being a powerful creature that can defeat their opponents in the silence, Samurott are gentle and they mostly silently and dedicatedly root for their trainers. Their skilled fighting techniques have garnered them much respect ​in their coastal habitats; a single glare or roar from a Samurott is often enough to scare off enemies. They will never attack foes weaker than themselves, and they are known to help fend off attackers from smaller or younger Pokémon. Their selflessness natures and fearsome battling abilities have made them very popular among Unovan trainers.
  +
  +
====Hisuian====
  +
However, Hisuian Samurott are harder of heart while also being deft of blade. They are notably more aggressive despite retaining loyalty for their trainers. Hisuian Samurott are in fact a stark contrast to their relatives. While Samurott are famed for their chivalry and selflessness when it comes to defending others, Hisuian Samurott are hard-hearted fighters that will ruthlessly do whatever it takes to get what they want. It is said that the solitude and harshness of Sinnoh's crashing waves toughened these Pokémon into becoming this way. They will not show mercy even when their foes yield, only ceasing their attacks once their enemies are completely incapacitated. They will not hold back against those smaller or weaker than themselves. Their horns are cruelly curved such their barbs gouge the flesh of their enemies when they strike. According to Sinnohan legend, these Pokémon butchered foes with such savagery that rivers of their enemies' blood left permanent stains on their shells.
  +
  +
In fact, although Hisuian Samurott tend to act silent and still, they won't hesitate to thrust their seamitars at their foes that carelessly approach them faster than the blink of a naked eye, proving that they will ruthlessly do anything to win.
  +
  +
===Natural Abilities===
  +
Samurott are able to silence their opponents by glaring at them. They can also terrify opponents by howling, which can be heard from miles away. Unlike [[Oshawott]] and [[Dewott]], Samurott can walk on all fours or presumably two as the shells on their forelegs are sheathed for two large swords.
  +
  +
Hisuian Samurott can cause turbulent blows akin to pounding waves that crash into their foes, effectively damaging said foes' bodies. They also specialize in cheap shots and surprise attacks with their seamitars being wielded fiercely and rapidly, scarring foes with wounds that cannot be healed for many years.

===Origin===
  +
Samurott is based on a sea otter with elements of samurai and sea lions; its size as the "final/adult" form of the Oshawott line also brings to mind the giant river otter, who are apex predators in the rivers of South America. As the Unova starters are based on historical empires, Samurott is based on the Japanese Empire's samurais. Its tail might be based on Japan war fans (also named ''tessens''), while its "helmet" is similar to Caltrop murex. Samurott's use of worn salvaged armor and weapons also is a fantastical take on how otters are intelligent enough to use makeshift tools such as rocks to break open shellfish when feeding.
  +
  +
Hisuian Samurott may be based on the extinct [[wikipedia:Japanese otter|Japanese Otter]] or [[wikipedia:Japanese Sea Lion|Japanese Sea Lion]], and a [[wikipedia:rōnin|rōnin]], which is a wandering samurai without a lord or master to serve. The kanji 浪 from 浪人 (''rōnin'') literally means ''wave'', which might have been the inspiration for Hisuian Samurott's Water type and wave-like designs all over its body. Being a rōnin was regarded as dishonorable in traditional samurai culture, and many of them end up becoming mercenaries. It may be based in on the corrupted version of samurai, who are drunk in power and very few people can stop them from committing tyranny on unarmed civilians, the red markings may be reference to blood markings found on samurai armors, helmets, and weapons hence its secondary {{Type|Dark}}-type.
  +
  +
The seamitars that Hisuian Samurott keeps on its arms resemble [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris kris], Indonesian daggers with a distinct wavy blade.
  +
  +
===Etymology===
  +
Samurott comes from ''samurai'' and ''otter''.
  +
  +
Daikenki comes from 大 (''dai'', big), 剣 (''ken'', blade), 鬼 (''ki'', demon) and 剣鬼 (''kenki'', sword master or demon swordsman).

Samurott (Japanese: ダイケンキ, Hepburn: Daikenki) (SAM-uh-rot[1]) is the Water-type Pokémon of the Unova region, evolved from Dewott and Oshawott.

It has a Water/Dark Hisuian Form introduced in Generation VIII.

Biology

Physiology

Unovan

Samurott is a quadrupedal, aquatic mammalian Pokémon that resembles a sea lion. It is different to its previous evolutions, which were bipedal. It has a pointed nose, with large pale-blue mustache/goatee-like growths protruding from it, which it has developed from Dewott's whiskers and Oshawott's dimples. On the back of its head, Samurott has a large yellow conch shell with a very long horn with two spikes on it. It has a long dark-blue body with a light blue-gray belly and four legs with yellow armor-like shells divided into threes on them, those on its front legs are in fact where its swords, known as seamitars are stored. Its tail resembles that of a fish and is heart-like shaped with a small shell in the middle that makes it look like a deformed oval. Its eyes have reverted to how they were with Oshawott's as they are now white with colored pupils as opposed to Dewott's eyes, which were black with white pupils. Razor Shell can be thought as the signature move of Samurott along with its pre-evolutions if Shellder isn't counted.

Hisuian

Hisuian Samurott has dark colored armor with red accents and a jagged horn on its head. Its facial fur is wavier than its modern counterparts.

Behavior

Unovan

Samurott are famous for their valiant natures and fighting prowess. In spite of being a powerful creature that can defeat their opponents in the silence, Samurott are gentle and they mostly silently and dedicatedly root for their trainers. Their skilled fighting techniques have garnered them much respect ​in their coastal habitats; a single glare or roar from a Samurott is often enough to scare off enemies. They will never attack foes weaker than themselves, and they are known to help fend off attackers from smaller or younger Pokémon. Their selflessness natures and fearsome battling abilities have made them very popular among Unovan trainers.

Hisuian

However, Hisuian Samurott are harder of heart while also being deft of blade. They are notably more aggressive despite retaining loyalty for their trainers. Hisuian Samurott are in fact a stark contrast to their relatives. While Samurott are famed for their chivalry and selflessness when it comes to defending others, Hisuian Samurott are hard-hearted fighters that will ruthlessly do whatever it takes to get what they want. It is said that the solitude and harshness of Sinnoh's crashing waves toughened these Pokémon into becoming this way. They will not show mercy even when their foes yield, only ceasing their attacks once their enemies are completely incapacitated. They will not hold back against those smaller or weaker than themselves. Their horns are cruelly curved such their barbs gouge the flesh of their enemies when they strike. According to Sinnohan legend, these Pokémon butchered foes with such savagery that rivers of their enemies' blood left permanent stains on their shells.

In fact, although Hisuian Samurott tend to act silent and still, they won't hesitate to thrust their seamitars at their foes that carelessly approach them faster than the blink of a naked eye, proving that they will ruthlessly do anything to win.

Natural Abilities

Samurott are able to silence their opponents by glaring at them. They can also terrify opponents by howling, which can be heard from miles away. Unlike Oshawott and Dewott, Samurott can walk on all fours or presumably two as the shells on their forelegs are sheathed for two large swords.

Hisuian Samurott can cause turbulent blows akin to pounding waves that crash into their foes, effectively damaging said foes' bodies. They also specialize in cheap shots and surprise attacks with their seamitars being wielded fiercely and rapidly, scarring foes with wounds that cannot be healed for many years.

Evolution

Samurott evolved from Dewott starting from level 36. Samurott is the final evolved form of the starter Pokémon Oshawott.

Cameron Samurott

Cameron's Samurott.

Anime

Supporting

Minor

Manga

Other

A Samurott is the area keeper of the Cove Area in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond. He's a valiant, wise, and noble warrior who believes that working together can accomplish much in life faster than one can do alone. Oshawott is his disciple. He assigns Oshawott to investigate the disappearance of the Pokémon in Wish Park.

Trivia

  • Samurott is the heaviest fully evolved water Starter Pokémon (excluding alternate forms of other Starter Pokémon).
  • Despite appearing to be quadrupedal, Samurott can stand on its hind legs in order to use its swords (seamitars).
  • It is the only fully evolved starter Pokémon not to be owned by any of the main characters of Pokémon Adventures.
  • According to designer Yusuke Ohmura, he was visiting a live otter exhibition searching inspiration for the Oshawott line when he saw a sea lion show nearby, which subsequently made him come up with the concept of Samurott.
    • In fact, he thought of Samurott first, prior to creating Oshawott.
  • Despite it being stated to silence foes with either a glare or a howl, Samurott aren't able to learn those moves.

Origin

Samurott is based on a sea otter with elements of samurai and sea lions; its size as the "final/adult" form of the Oshawott line also brings to mind the giant river otter, who are apex predators in the rivers of South America. As the Unova starters are based on historical empires, Samurott is based on the Japanese Empire's samurais. Its tail might be based on Japan war fans (also named tessens), while its "helmet" is similar to Caltrop murex. Samurott's use of worn salvaged armor and weapons also is a fantastical take on how otters are intelligent enough to use makeshift tools such as rocks to break open shellfish when feeding.

Hisuian Samurott may be based on the extinct Japanese Otter or Japanese Sea Lion, and a rōnin, which is a wandering samurai without a lord or master to serve. The kanji 浪 from 浪人 (rōnin) literally means wave, which might have been the inspiration for Hisuian Samurott's Water type and wave-like designs all over its body. Being a rōnin was regarded as dishonorable in traditional samurai culture, and many of them end up becoming mercenaries. It may be based in on the corrupted version of samurai, who are drunk in power and very few people can stop them from committing tyranny on unarmed civilians, the red markings may be reference to blood markings found on samurai armors, helmets, and weapons hence its secondary Dark-type.

The seamitars that Hisuian Samurott keeps on its arms resemble kris, Indonesian daggers with a distinct wavy blade.

Etymology

Samurott comes from samurai and otter.

Daikenki comes from 大 (dai, big), 剣 (ken, blade), 鬼 (ki, demon) and 剣鬼 (kenki, sword master or demon swordsman).
