Its exquisite double-scalchop technique is likely the result of daily training, and it can send even masters of the blade fleeing in defeat.

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.

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
