As you can see, Hisuian Samurott doesn’t have the most exciting shiny form, with his helmet and leg armor (at least that’s what I think it is…) turning a ghostly white color compared to his traditional black and red.
Hisuian Samurott’s move set in Pokémon Go
Our recommendation for Hisuian Samurott’s best moveset is Cascade as a fast move and Razor Shell as a charged move. This will work well for both offensive and defensive play, although it is important to note that our choice is largely based on the Water type.
If you want Hisuian Samurott to have a more diverse moveset, then it’s worth considering having Snarl as a fast move or Dark Pulse as a charged move. Both attacks will allow you to use the Pokémon’s Dark type. You may even want to unlock Hisuian Samurott’s second charged attack, so you have the ability to use Razor Shell and Dark Pulse.
Here is Hisuian Samurott’s full moveset below:
Fast movements:
- Fury Cutter (Insect)
- Growl (dark)
- Waterfall (Water)
Charged Moves:
- Dark pulse (dark)
- Freezing wind (ice)
- Razor shell (water)
- Scissors X (insect)
Everything we know about Hisuian Samurott
Hisuian Samurott made his first appearance in the Pokémon universe in Pokémon Legends: Arceus for Nintendo Switch. Here is an extinct regional variant of Oshawott, appearing alongside the final evolutions of the other starter Pokémon in Legends: Arceus – Hisuian Typholosion and Hisuian Decidueye.
Like his traditional form, Hisuian Samurott’s design appears to be inspired by an otter, but the added armor appears to be a reference to the rönin, who were samurai who lacked a lord or master. This could be related to how Legends: Arceus is set in the Hisui region, a country inspired by Japan’s Meiji Restoration period, which would eventually become the modern Sinnoh region in the Pokémon universe.
Good luck catching Hisuian Samurott in Pokémon Go!
