Read more ↓Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokémon, is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V as one of the three starter Pokémon of the Unova region. Its evolutionary line proceeds from Oshawott to Dewott, and finally to Samurott. Oshawott is known for the scalchop on its stomach, which it uses in battle and to open hard berries. These Pokémon are typically found near fresh water sources, such as rivers and lakes, where they can hunt for food like fish and shellfish. Their playful and sometimes clumsy demeanor has made them a fan favorite, particularly due to their prominent role in the Pokémon Black and White anime series, where Ash Ketchum had an Oshawott as one of his main companions. This exposure significantly contributed to its widespread recognition and cultural significance beyond the video games. Oshawott’s design is inspired by sea otters, incorporating elements of traditional Japanese samurai culture in its evolutions, particularly with Samurott’s armor-like appearance. As a Water-type, Oshawott is strong against Fire, Ground, and Rock types, while being vulnerable to Electric and Grass types.
