Legal, but nobody plays it

Samurott is legal in Regulation M-B and did not appear often enough on the ladder to produce usage statistics. It is legal and simply out of favour, which makes it unmeasured rather than unusable.

The Pokémon itself

Samurott is number 503 in the National Dex, a Unova Pokémon, Water with a base stat total of 528 — 53rd of the 234 Pokémon legal in this regulation. Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 108, 51st in the format; its weakest is Speed at 70, 145th. It can have Torrent and Shell Armor. The Champions module tiers it UU.

It sits in a 3-stage line: Oshawott → Dewott → Samurott. Not all of that line is legal in this regulation — Oshawott and Dewott are not.

What gets through

As Water, 2 of the eighteen attacking types do extra damage to it. It resists 4. The board above has all of it. 8 other legal Pokémon share the same typing and the same board: Milotic, Politoed, Palafin, Blastoise, Vaporeon and others.

What threatens it

Smogon publishes no head-to-head checks-and-counters data for doubles formats, so this list is computed, not measured: the most-played Regulation M-B Pokémon carrying a damaging move of a type Samurott takes extra damage from.

Against its own formes

Samurott has 2 legal formes in this regulation and they share a typing, so the only thing separating them is the stat line. This one has the highest HP at 95, Defense at 85, Sp. Atk at 108 and Sp. Def at 70 of the 2. It has the lowest Attack at 100 and Speed at 70. The others are Samurott-Hisui.

Speed and weight

At level 50 with a boosting nature and full investment, Samurott reaches 134 Speed; left uninvested with a neutral nature it sits at 90. Invested, it outruns 6 of the 20 most-used Pokémon in the regulation when they are invested too — which is the comparison that decides who moves first.

It weighs 94.6 kg, so Grass Knot and Low Kick hit it for 80 base power. That is a real consideration in a format where both are common.

Its move pool

Samurott learns 93 moves in the Champions data. 62 of them do damage, across 10 of the eighteen types, and 17 share a type with it and so get the same-type bonus. Its hardest-hitting same-type move is Hydro Cannon at 150 base power. It also has priority: Upper Hand at +3, Aqua Jet at +1 and Vacuum Wave at +1.

That pool is what the team builder reads from when you seat it, and the damage calculator will take it as the attacker with the form already chosen.
