How to Get Azurill in FireRed & LeafGreen

Azurill is a breeding-only Pokemon in Gen 3. Pair a Marill or Azumarill holding Sea Incense at the Four Island Day Care. Since Marill is LeafGreen-exclusive in FRLG, FireRed players need a Marill trade first.

Catch Marill at any of these 3 spots to eventually evolve into Azurill.

How to Obtain Azurill in FRLG

Azurill is your first catch on the way to Azurill. You'll find surfing and walking encounters from Lv. 5-25 across 4 total spots in the chain.

  1. Azurill
    Step 1Azurill
    BREEDING
    Available
    Leave Marill with a compatible partner at the Four Island Pokemon Day Care to receive a Azurill egg. Requires the Rainbow Pass to access Four Island.
    HOME TRANSFER
    Not Tradeable
    Pokemon HOME on Switch FireRed & LeafGreen is permanently deposit-only — once it launches, Azurill can be sent from this game into HOME, but never transferred in.
  2. Azumarill
    Step 3Evolve into Azumarill

Azurill Weakness

Type-wise, Azurill takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread.
