Samurott (Japanese: ダイケンキ Daikenki) is the Water-type Pokémon of the Unova region, evolved from Dewott and Oshawott. It has the ability Torrent, like every other water- type starter Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
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 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 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. It 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 prevolutions if Shellder isn't counted.
Special Abilities
It is able to silence its opponents by glaring at them. It 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 its forelegs are sheathed for two large swords. Samurott's shell arrangements are somewhat based on samurai armour, hence its name.
Evolution
Samurott evolved from Dewott starting from level 36. Samurott is the final evolved form of the starter Pokémon Oshawott.
In the Anime
Samurott's debut was in 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. Cameron also has a very powerful Samurott. He used it to battle Marlon at the Humilau gym. It easily defeated Marlon's Mantine without it even successfully landing an attack.
