Azumarill punches above its weight class thanks to Huge Power. It doubles its effective Attack, which is enough to make up for stats that don't impress on their own. Only weak to Electric and Grass. Known as the Aqua Rabbit Pokemon.

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.

Azumarill Weakness

Good

Azumarill is weak to Electric and Grass-type moves. 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.

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.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 10 types means almost nothing walls Azumarill cleanly, with Hydro Pump and Aqua Tail anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

    or evolve from Marill (Step 2)

  • Huge Power changes the entire equation for Azumarill. The 420 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Azumarill is leaning toward the special side (base 60 Sp. Atk). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • Azumarill appears in 17 games, including Gold & Silver, Crystal, and Ruby & Sapphire.

Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Azumarill spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
