Oshawott (Japanese: ミジュマル Mijumaru) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Futachimaru starting at level 17, which evolves into Daikenki starting at level 36.
Along with Snivy and Tepig, Oshawott is one of the starter Pokémon of the Unova region, able to be chosen at the beginning of Pokémon Black and White.
Biology
Physiology
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of keratin, this appendage can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It can fight skillfully by detaching the seashell-shaped appendage on its belly. This shell can be used for a variety of different things, such as a acting like a weapon, shield, and boomerang.
Behavior
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its shell attachment without any hesitation.

Trivia
- Oshawott and its fellow Black and White starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of CoroCoro.
- Oshawott is the first Template:Type2 starter Pokémon to be based on a mammal as well as the first mammalian starter not to be of the Template:Type2.
- 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.
- Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all Template:Type2 starter Pokémon.
Origin
It appears to be based on a sea otter.
Name origin
Its Japanese name may be derived from 水 mizu, water or 未熟 mijuku, naive and 丸 maru, round. -maru is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. The syllable mi may also be derived from 三つ mitsu, meaning three or third, implying a lineage within the evolutionary line with Mijumaru being third in line.
Oshawott is a combination of Oshawa, the name of a city in Ontario Canada, and Otter. It's also possibly a pun of "Ocean water".
