'''Scalchops''' (Japanese: '''ホタチ''' ''hotachi'') and '''ashigatana''' (Japanese: '''アシガタナ''') are a type of shell weapon used by {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Samurott}}. Oshawott has one on its chest, Dewott has one on each hip, and Samurott's are tucked inside the scabbards on its forelegs. These are detachable, and are often thrown. They are used in the execution of the move {{m|Razor Shell}}, when performed by a Pokémon with a scalchop or ashigatana. Scalchops are made of the same material as fingernails, known as {{wp|keratin}}, and are capable of regrowing if they happen to get destroyed. | '''Scalchops''' (Japanese: '''ホタチ''' ''hotachi'') and '''ashigatana''' (Japanese: '''アシガタナ''') are a type of shell weapon used by {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Samurott}}. | ||
