Stats & Training
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.
It lives in rivers and lakes. In water, its coloring and patterns trick the vision of foes.
Its long ears are superb sensors. It can distinguish the movements of living things on riverbeds.
Azumarill Weakness
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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass, Poison |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Fighting, Bug, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Dragon |

Azumarill Guide
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Azumarill can work for a story run. 420 BST is average, but Water/Fairy typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Huge Power changes the entire equation for Azumarill. The 420 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Aqua Jet with Sitrus Berry 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.
