Scalchop and seamitar: Difference between revisions

Since this is only mentioned in the manga and the anime seems to contradict it, it should probably only be in the manga's section.

Oshawott has a scalchop on its chest, Dewott has one scalchop on each hip, and Samurott's seamitars 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 seamitar.

Scalchops are made of the same material as fingernails, known as {{wp|keratin}}, and are capable of regrowing if they happen to get destroyed. According to a book in the [[Nacrene Gym]], Oshawott's scalchop grows from its bellybutton.

[[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 ''[[ABW10|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.
