Is Azumarill Good in Black 2 & White 2 Playthrough?

Marill evolves at level 18. Water with AbilityHuge Power. Physical Waterfall backed by doubled Attack hits harder than most fully evolved Pokemon. Handles Clay, Drayden, Ghetsis's Seismitoad, and contributes against Iris. One of the best Pokemon in BW2 if you get AbilityHuge Power.

Pokemon Black 2 / Pokemon White 2

Azumarill Black 2 & White 2 Guide

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Azumarill's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric) and Exeggutor (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Azumarill can work for a story run. 420 BST is average, but water typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Huge Power changes the entire equation for Azumarill. The 420 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Waterfall with Choice Band is the standard set.

  • 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.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Sap Sipper is the hidden ability. It absorbs grass moves, raising Attack one stage. Worth hunting for if you want Azumarill to compete at a higher level.

Game Availability

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.
