Oshawott (Japanese: ミジュマル Mijumaru) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Dewott starting at level 17, which evolves into Samurott starting at level 36.
Along with Snivy and Tepig, Oshawott is one of three starter Pokémon of Unova available at the beginning of Pokémon Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
Biology
Physiology
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of keratin, this appendage, called a "scalchop", can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It can fight skillfully by detaching the scalchop on its belly. The scalchop can be used for a variety of different purposes, such as a sword, shield, and boomerang. The scalchop grows from its bellybutton.
Behavior
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its scalchop without any hesitation. When eating, Oshawott uses its forepaws to move food to its mouth, rather than going down on all fours to eat it.
Habitat
Oshawott mainly live in water but may come to land.

Ash's Oshawott first appears in In The Shadow of Zekrom!, under the ownership of Professor Juniper. He begins to admire Ash and decides to leave the lab and follow him wherever he goes. He then saves Ash and Iris from Team Rocket in Enter Iris and Axew! and reappears again in A Sandile Gusher of Change! where he officially joins Ash's party.
Minor appearances
In A Connoisseur's Revenge! multiple Trainers' Oshawott were seen at a Poké Mart.
Later, a flashback of Burgundy's Dewott as an Oshawott was shown after it had been beaten by Cilan's Pansage.

Trivia
- Oshawott and its fellow Unova starter Pokémon were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of CoroCoro.
- Oshawott is the only Water-type starter Pokémon to be based on a mammal.

- Oshawott and its evolutions are the only Water-type starter Pokémon that are not in any of the Water Egg groups, being exclusive to the Field Egg Group.
- Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all Water-type starter Pokémon.
- Oshawott, along with Snivy and Tepig, has the lowest base experience yield, with a base of 28.
- Ken Sugimori said that Oshawott and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.[citation needed]

Origin
Oshawott is based on a sea otter pup and samurai[1]. The way that Oshawott's Scalchop rests on its belly resembles the way otters look when cracking open shells to eat. This Scalchop also holds similarities with Japanese war fans, which were often used by samurai for defensive purposes.
Name origin
Oshawott may be a combination of ocean, shell, water, and otter. It may be a reference to Oshawa, Canada, as Canada contains many protected areas in which sea otters reside, the name of which comes from the Ojibwa word aazhaway ("crossing the river" or "to leave one's canoe behind"). It may also derive from George Ohsawa, a famed dietitian born into a poor samurai family during the Meiji Restoration of Japan.
Mijumaru may be a combination of 水 mizu (water) or 未熟 mijuku (naive or immature) and 丸 maru (round). Maru is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. Miju may also refer to an otter named Mijbil, the subject of a autoboigraphical novel and movie called Ring of Bright Water.
