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 and is primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a spherical white head with small, triangular dark-blue ears on the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like a horizontal oval. Oshawott also has freckles on the sides of its face, most likely intended to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers. Its body forms light blue bubble shapes around the neck area, composing a sort of "collar". Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell in the center. Made out of keratin, this appendage, called a "scalchop", can be removed and used in various ways, but mainly as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, while its feet, unlike its forearms, have discernible digits; they are colored dark blue. Oshawott also has a rudder-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs that are 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. It also uses it to break open hard berries. 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.

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. 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.[2]
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 an autoboigraphical novel and movie called Ring of Bright Water.
