According to [[Professor Oak's Live Caster]], an Oshawott uses its scalchop to break open [[Berry|Berries]], and only lets those it truly trusts touch it. {{an|Cilan}} also mentions that a scalchop is actually a part of an Oshawott's body by some extension in ''[[BW028|Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!]]''. | ||
[[Ash's Oshawott]] frequently relies on his scalchop to defend him against moves that would typically have an advantage over him, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}} or {{m|Shock Wave}}. It often will fall off of his stomach onto the floor and give the opponent a temporary advantage until he is able to retrieve it. In ''[[BW028|Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!]]'', it actually goes completely missing and Oshawott learns to battle without the use of his scalchop. However, by the end of the episode, Oshawott's scalchop is recovered by [[Iris's Axew]]. | [[Ash's Oshawott]] frequently relies on his scalchop to defend him against moves that would typically have an advantage over him, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}} or {{m|Shock Wave}}.
