Azumarill is a water-type from Gen 2. Only weak to Electric and Grass. 100 base HP is its best stat. Known as the Aqua Rabbit Pokemon. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up.
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.
The bubble-like pattern on its stomach helps it camouflage itself when it’s in the water.
Azumarill Weakness
GoodAzumarill is weak to Electric and Grass-type moves. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. With 100 HP and balanced defenses, Azumarill can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
- Special stat split into Sp.Atk and Sp.Def
