Samurott

**Samurott** (Japanese: **ダイケンキ** *Daikenki*) is the Water-type Pokémon of the Unova region, evolved from Dewott and Oshawott. It has the ability Torrent, like every other water-type starter Pokémon.

## Biology

### Physiology

Samurott is a quadrupedal, aquatic mammalian Pokémon that resembles a sea lion. It is different to its previous evolutions, which were bipedal. It has a pointed nose, with large pale-blue mustache/goatee-like growths protruding from it, which it has developed from Dewott's whiskers and Oshawott's dimples. On the back of its head, Samurott has a large yellow conch shell with a very long horn with two spikes on it. It has a long dark-blue body with a light blue-gray belly and four legs with yellow armor-like shells divided into threes on them, those on its front legs are in fact where its swords, known as Seamitars are stored. Its tail resembles that of a fish and is heart-like shaped with a small shell in the middle that makes it look like a deformed oval. Its eyes have reverted to how they were with Oshawott's as they are now white with colored pupils as opposed to Dewott's eyes, which were black with white pupils. Razor Shellcan be thought as the signature move of Samurott along with its pre-evolutions if Shellder isn't counted.

### Special Abilities

It is able to silence its opponents by glaring at them. It can also terrify opponents by howling, which can be heard from miles away. Unlike Oshawott and Dewott, Samurott can walk on all fours or presumably two as the shells on its forelegs are sheathed for two large swords. Samurott's shell arrangements are somewhat based on samurai armor, hence its name.

### Behavior

In spite of being a powerful creature that can defeat its opponents in the silence, they are gentle and they mostly silently and dedicatedly root for their trainers.

## Evolution

Samurott evolved from Dewott starting from level 36. Samurott is the final evolved form of the starter Pokémon Oshawott.

## Mega Samurott

Mega Samurott
Type- Water/Fighting

Ability- Vigorate "All Normal-type moves used by this Pokemon become Fighting-type and receive a 20% boost in power."

Mega Stone- Samurottite

Description- "The weighty tail which enables Mega Samurott to walk on two legs doesn't allow it to be very quick on land, but with both feet firmly planted on the ground it is capable of lightning quick attacks. With more than the mass of both its Seamitars, the blade it wields is significantly heavier and far too cumbersome to swing around recklessly. Instead it uses its tail fan to parry and redirect its opponent's attacks and only strikes back with its massive 'Barnacalibur' weapon when its foe's guard is down."

## Trivia

* It is the only fully evolved starter Pokémon not to be owned by any of the main characters of Pokémon Adventures.

### Origin

Samurott is based on a sea lion, with the traits of a samurai.

### Etymology

Samurott's name is a combination of the words "**samur**ai" and "**ott**er" (despite the fact that it is based on a sea lion).
