The recent introduction of Hisuian form for Samurott in Pokemon Legends: Arceus has further enriched the allure of Oshawott's evolution line. With a new Dark-type matchup and a signature move, Ceaseless Edge, Hisuian Samurott has captivated trainers in the Pokemon universe. While Hisuian Samurott remains exclusive to Pokemon Legends: Arceus, players can still obtain the original Unova form in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet through the Indigo Disk DLC.

Unlocking the Path to Oshawott

To embark on the journey of unlocking Oshawott, players must venture to the BB League Club Room's support board. Accessing the support board via the PC in the room, players are tasked with contributing 3,000 BP to enhance the diversity of the Polar Biome. This crucial step ensures the spawning of Oshawott and other starters in the biome. A swift accumulation of BP can be achieved through group quests via Union Circles, unlocking gold quests that offer substantial BP rewards.

Exploring Oshawott's Location

Oshawott awaits discovery in the Polar Biome of the Indigo Disk DLC, nestled in the northwestern expanse of the Terrarium. While it roams across the northern reaches of the Polar Biome, a prime location for encountering Oshawott is amidst the waters at the heart of the biome. As a sought-after starter, Oshawott's appearances are less frequent than other Pokemon, prompting players to diligently search the waters for its presence.

Fortunately, the non-legendary nature of Oshawott allows players the opportunity for multiple encounters if their initial attempt proves unsuccessful. However, capturing Oshawott can pose a challenge, compelling players to employ strategic tactics such as reducing its HP and inducing sleep or paralysis to heighten their chances of success.

The Evolutionary Path of Oshawott

Oshawott's evolution unfolds as it matures into Dewott at level 17 and later transforms into Samurott at level 36. Both Dewott and Samurott elude capture in the wild, necessitating players to rely on the evolution process to attain them. With Piplup of a significantly higher level in the vicinity, players can expedite the evolution to Samurott by advancing it through two levels.

For optimal performance, Oshawott benefits from an Adamant nature, amplifying its attack prowess at the expense of Special Attack. Additionally, favorable Tera types for Piplup include Water and Grass, offering robust strengths and protective advantages for the Pokemon.
