Samurott — Daikenki, the seamitar-swinging final form of the Unova water starter line, a full-armored samurai-otter wielding bladed scalchops as twin swords. Hisuian Samurott (the Pokémon Legends: Arceus regional variant) arrived in 2022 as a darker, Dark/Water ronin twist — and the Hisuian form is where most of the line's modern TCG action has happened. Between the 2022 Astral Radiance V/VSTAR set, the 2023 Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery alts, and the 2025 White Flare throwback chase, this is the only stage of the line with real depth.
Samurott's Top 10 is the most collectible stretch of the entire Unova-water line, and the Hisuian regional form does most of the heavy lifting. The modern 2025 White Flare Illustration Rare leads, but right behind it sits a dense stack of Hisuian Samurott V and VSTAR cards from 2022's Astral Radiance (the Legends: Arceus tie-in set) and 2023's Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery — plus a couple of 2011 Black & White Holos for completeness.
The throwback chase. The 2025 White Flare Illustration Rare gave the entire Unova starter line a fresh modern crown — and Samurott's version leads the catalog by a wide margin. Full-art, painterly, and the headline card any Unova collector is hunting today.

This Hisuian Samurott V is a full-art portrait of the brooding Hisuian samurai — a clean, dramatic alt for one of the line's most-loved regional forms.
