I decided to use Oshawott for the first time because I wanted to try making it viable. For a while I wasn't sure what the best thing to do with him was. Then I had this idea:
Samurott
HP - 0 EVs
ATT - 252 EVs
DEF - 0 EVs
SP ATT - 252 EVs
SP DEF - 0 EVs
SPE - 4 EVs
Lonely Nature
Swords Dance
Aqua Jet
Megahorn
Hydro Pump
Item - Focus Sash
This way I utilize its higher offense stats to their fullest and homage the whole "samurai" naming. He Swords Dances first, until the opponent hits him and inevitably brings him to 1 HP with Focus Sash. Then, Torrent boosted Aqua Jet if the opponent is faster, or the choice of Megahorn or Hydro Pump if they are slower. Which one depends on the opponent's type and which of their defensive stats are usually higher.
It still isn't "Uber" tier but it is more useful than anything you can do with its mediocre defenses. Feel free to give me feedback! I like to hear ideas.
Also, if I can breed a good one, having 0/31/0/31/0/31 would probably be the best thing to ensure a "1 hit KO" and activate Focus Sash plus Torrent.
