[[Bianca's Oshawott]] tends to use its scalchop to attack anyone who injures it, typically [[Tep]] and {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}. This first occurs when the two knock Oshawott into a machine, and later when {{adv|Black}} releases them from their Poké Balls. Oshawott's scalchop was a major asset during the [[Striaton Gym]] battle in ''[[PS470|Their First Gym Battle]]''. It was used as a boomerang and managed to knock out [[Chili's Pansear]], but was then immediately shattered by [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Cilan explains that scalchops are capable of regrowing after being damaged, much like a fingernail.
