Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Dewott Best Moveset

Bulk and offense in one package. Dewott runs Leftovers for passive recovery each turn with a Lonely nature, so it survives long enough to threaten with Aqua Jet. Spread EVs and the remaining moves make it hard to safely switch into.

Moves

Breeding's the move. Air Slash and Assurance give Dewott options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 9 types already covers a decent range on top of Hydro Pump and Aqua Tail. The egg moves push it further.

Dewott Guide

  • Dewott is meant to evolve into Samurott. At 413 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Dewott's biggest threats include Manectric (Electric) and Roserade (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Oshawott evolves into Dewott at level 17. Dewott can evolve into Samurott and Hisuian Samurott depending on the method. Dewott is a middle-stage evolution in the Oshawott line.

  • Torrent is the go-to ability for Dewott. It strengthens water moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less. Its hidden ability Shell Armor can work in specific setups.

  • At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Dewott is a mixed attacker with base 75 Attack and 83 Sp. Atk.

Game Availability

Dewott joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 8 titles so far. With 6 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
