Biology

Physiology

Dewott is a bipedal, otter-like Pokémon that is primarily light blue in coloration. It has small black ears, a pointed crest at the back of its head, a red nose shaped like a tilted oval, and long white whiskers forming tilted "V" shapes. Its forelimbs sport three fingers on each black-colored paw. Around its waist is a large, blue, fringed adornment, with scalchops—like those Dewott possessed as an Oshawott—on the thighs. Its feet are tipped in black and its somewhat plank-shaped tail is also black-colored.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Dewott can detach the two scalchops from its hips and use them as bladed weapons. Scalchop-wielding attacks differ between Dewott.

Behavior

Dewott strictly train themselves to be able to master its scalchop swordsmanship. It never fails when keeping its scalchops in shape.

Habitat

Dewott primarily live in water, but are actually amphibious, like Oshawott and Samurott.

Trivia

• Dewott was first seen on concept art from the Best Wishes series along with Servine, Woobat, and Axew.
  • Dewott's English name, as well as Servine's, was officially confirmed through the anime in The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!.

Origin

Dewott is based on a sea otter and samurai^[1]. Its trait of fighting with its two shells may be based on Tessenjutsu, a type of martial arts involving the Japanese war fan.

Name origin

Dewott is a combination of dew, water and otter. It may also be a combination of "dual" or "duel" and "otter", considering that Dewott uses two shells to fight. Furthermore, "duo" is the Italian word for "two," meaning the second in its evolutionary line. Also, Helen DeWitt is the name of the author of The Last Samurai. Futachimaru seems to come from 二つ futatsu meaning two, 太刀 tachi meaning long sword, and 丸 maru, a common ending in a boy's name, especially in the time of samurai. The 二 futa in Futachimaru may imply a lineage within the evolutionary line, with Dewott being second in line.
