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 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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Steel |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
In Diamond & Pearl, Infernape's Close Combat hits Azumarill for 50-59%. Zapdos's Thunderbolt hits Azumarill for 70-83%. Jolteon's Thunderbolt also KOs at 117-138%.

Azumarill Guide
In Diamond & Pearl, Azumarill can work for a story run. 420 BST is average, but water typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
In Diamond & Pearl, Huge Power changes the entire equation for Azumarill. The 420 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Icepunch with Life Orb 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.
