Azumarill is weak to Electric and Grass. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. 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.

How to Get Azumarill in Black & White

You're catching Azurill first, not Azumarill. Azurill appears at decent rates in the encounters below. The step cards map the full 3-stage chain with evolution methods between each stage.

Azumarill Guide

  • In Black & White, 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 & White, Marill evolves into Azumarill at level 18. Azumarill is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Azurill. It sits at 420 BST in its evolved form.

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

  • In Black & White, 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.

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.
