Biology

Oshawott is known as the Sea Otter Pokémon. The shell on its belly (known as a "scalchop") is made of the same components as fingernails. Strangely, the scalchop has been known to grow from Oshawott's navel. It can detach the scalchop from its body and use it as a blade.

This Pokémon from the Unova region uses the shell on its belly as a weapon to cut down its foes. Thus, I've conferred upon this shell the name ”scalchop”.
Legends: Arceus
The scalchop on its stomach isn’t just used for battle--it can be used to break open hard berries as well.
Black 2 · White 2 · X · Omega Ruby
The scalchop on its stomach is made from the same elements as claws. It detaches the scalchop for use as a blade.
