We've already taken a look at what Serperior and Emboar may be like in Pokémon GO. Now it's time to take a look at the final family in the Unova starter trio: Oshawott, Dewott, and Samurott. Let's dive into it!

SAMUROTT

• CATEGORY: Formidable Pokémon
• PRONOUNCED: SAM-uh-rot
• TYPE: Water
• HEIGHT: 4' 11"
• WEIGHT: 208.6 lbs.

ATTACK:  212

DEFENSE:  157

STAMINA:  216

MAX  CP:  2826

PLACE IN THE META: Samurott is shaping up to be a pretty good Water-type Pokémon. It's Attack stat than Swampert, Blastoise, and Feraligatr's, meaning with the right Water-type Fast Attack in concert with Hydro Cannon after Oshawott's inevitable Community Day, it could end up being a top-tier Water-type attacker in both Gyms/Raids and Trainer Battles.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Samurott:

• Water Gun
• Waterfall

​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Samurott:

• Hydro Cannon (Community Day)
• Hydro Pump
• Ice Beam
• Surf

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Samurott's movepool:

• Liquidation
• Razor Shell
• Smart Strike
• ​Water Pledge

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Samurott gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.

Thanks for reading, Trainers!
