Bulk defines Azumarill's stat line. HP and Defense anchor the defensive side, but Attack can't keep up offensively. Moderately hard to find and worth 3 HP EVs.
Its long ears are superb sensors. It can distinguish the movements of things in water and tell what they are.
By keeping still and listening intently, it can tell what is in even wild, fast-moving rivers.
Azumarill is weak to Electric, Grass, and Poison. On the flip side, it's immune to Dragon-type moves entirely. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread. With 100 HP and balanced defenses, Azumarill can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

End of the line. Azumarill caps a three-stage chain that started at Azurill. Breeding produces the base form, and eggs are quick to hatch. HP grew the most through evolution (+50 over Azurill), and Azumarill peaks at 420 total stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Azumarill runs a standard physical attacker set. Adamant nature with max HP and Attack EVs shapes the build, while Sitrus Berry brings a one-time health recovery at low HP. Huge Power supports the kit from the background.

TMs carry this one. Azumarill learns Hydro Pump and Misty Explosion naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Rock and Normal and beyond give it real matchup play.

Breeding opens up real options for Azumarill. Aqua Jet and Belly Drum come exclusively from egg moves, and they're worth the effort. The rest of the kit covers basics through Hydro Pump and Aqua Tail and coverage across 9 types.
The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 10 types means almost nothing walls Azumarill cleanly, with Hydro Pump and Misty Explosion anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

Step 3Azumarill ✓
Azumarill isn't available in the wild in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Start by transferring Azurill from Diamond, Platinum, or Brilliant Diamond. The evolution path from Azurill to Azumarill is covered in the steps below.
Azumarill can work for a story run. 420 BST is average, but Water/Fairy typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
Huge Power changes the entire equation for Azumarill. The 420 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier.
Huge Power is what you want on Azumarill. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Thick Fat, Sap Sipper) work on paper but Huge Power is what makes Azumarill worth using.
Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Azumarill spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
