Futachimaru is a bipedal, otter-like Pokémon that is primarily light blue in coloration. It has small black ears, a pointed crest at the back of its head, a red nose shaped like a tilted oval, and long white whiskers forming tilted "V" shapes. Its forelimbs sport three fingers on each black-colored paw. Around its waist is a large, blue, fringed adornment, with seashells—like those Futachimaru possessed as an Oshawott—on the thighs. Its feet are tipped in black and its somewhat plank-shaped tail is also black-colored.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Futachimaru can detach the two shells from its hips and use them as bladed weapons. Swordshell-wielding attacks differ between Futachimaru.
Behavior
Futachimaru strictly train themselves to be able to master its shell swordsmanship. It never fails when keeping its swordshell in shape.
Habitat
Futachimaru primarily live in water, but are actually amphibious, like Oshawott and Daikenki.
Futachimaru made its anime debut in The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!, under the ownership of a Trainer and was battling a Janovy. Futachimaru's Trainer later challenged Ash and his Pikachu to a battle, where it demonstrated surprising agility.
Another one appeared in BW019 under the ownership of Cabernet, it was used to battle Cilan's Ishizumai.
Futachimaru's name seems to come from 二つ futatsu meaning two, 太刀 tachi meaning long sword, and 丸 maru, a common ending in a boy's name, especially in the time of samurai. The 二 futa in Futachimaru's name may imply a lineage within the evolutionary line, with Futachimaru being second in line.
