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.
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
GoodAzumarill 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.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
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.
How to Evolve
Breed with Azumarill to get Azurill eggs easily using 35 partners from the Fairy and Water1 egg groups. Notable egg moves include Amnesia, Aqua Jet, Belly Drum and 13 more.
Azumarill runs a standard physical attacker set. Brave nature with max HP and Attack EVs shapes the build, while Life Orb brings extra damage on every hit for a health trade. Huge Power supports the kit from the background.

Huge Power changes the entire equation for Azumarill. The 420 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier.
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 a physical attacker with base 50 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.
