Oshawott also appears in Super Smash Bros. All three members of the line also appear in Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS and PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond. After gaining enough experience, Oshawott evolves into Dewott, and then into Samurott. Oshawott, Dewott, and Samurott's first video game appearance is in Pokémon Black and White, where Oshawott is first available as a Starter Pokémon for players to choose from alongside Snivy and Tepig. In the early reveal of Oshawott (then only known by its Japanese name "Mijumaru"), English-speaking fans gave it the nickname of "Wotter". Oshawott was first revealed as a silhouette on the episode of Pokémon Sunday. He also cited the powerful nature from them such as the "sound they made when they stamped on the ground." Sugimori also intended to design Samurott to be a completely different shape from Oshawott that would aid in making it a "den mother" figure. He also stated that Oshawott's evolution would be Japanese style of design. After watching sea otters at a zoo, he decided to make the third evolution based on a sea lion, with Oshawott's shell turned into a sword. In an interview with Ken Sugimori, he stated that they were concerned on what to make Oshawott evolve into. Dewott was also the last of the second form of the starters to be designed. Oshawott was designed to be the "cute" one of them as well as acting as a "den mother figure" to the other two. It can silence its enemies by glaring at them, and it can defeat an opponent by swinging the sword on its armor. Unlike its pre-evolutions, Samurott is a quadruped, sea lion-like Pokémon. With rigorous training, Dewott acquires the ability to perform two-shell attacks with flowing swordsmanship. Like Oshawott, these shells can be detached and used as weapons. Dewott's appearance is somewhat similar to Oshawott except that it is primarily light blue in coloration, has white whiskers, and has a blue adornment with two seashells around its waist. It fights using the shell as a blade, and can block and attack the foe back in an instant. It can detach the shell from its body and use it as a blade. Strangely, the Scalchop has been known to grow from Oshawott's navel. The shell on its belly, known as a Scalchop, is made of the same components as fingernails. Oshawott is known as the Sea Otter Pokémon. Before the release of Black and White, Oshawott received mixed reception, but afterwards, it has been more well received.
In the anime, an Oshawott is owned by main character Ash Ketchum.
Known as the Sea Otter Pokémon, the Discipline Pokémon, and the Formidable Pokémon respectively, players of Pokémon Black and White are able to choose Oshawott among fellow starting Pokémon Snivy and Tepig. Created by Ken Sugimori, they first appeared in the video games Pokémon Black and White, and later appear in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. Oshawott evolves into Dewott, and then into Samurott after gaining enough experience in battle. Oshawott Dewott, and Samurott are three Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise that are linked through evolution.
