Dewott

Dewott in the anime

Burgundy first used a Dewott in a loss to Cilan in A Connoisseur's Revenge!, and later against Iris in Search for the Clubultimate!, where it fell to Excadrill. Halsey's prideful Dewott helped put out fires in The Pokémon Harbor Patrol!, causing friction with Halsey's Watchog, and multiple trainers' Dewott, including Cadbury's nicknamed Caesar, competed in the Scalchop King Competition in Crowning the Scalchop King!. Ann's Oshawott evolved into Dewott in Welcome to Naranja Academy! before evolving again into Samurott.

Dewott's cards and design

Dewott and its evolutionary relatives were designed by Yusuke Ohmura and are based on a sea otter and samurai, with its two-scalchop fighting style possibly drawing on Tessenjutsu war-fan martial arts; its line as a whole traces a samurai's life from child to young warrior to military commander. Its Black & White uncommons illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda and 5ban Graphics were followed by new uncommons in Boundaries Crossed, Legendary Treasures, Steam Siege, Vivid Voltage, and Astral Radiance. The Scarlet & Violet era's White Flare paired a common with an Illustration rare by Taira Akitsu.
