Is Azumarill Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?

Azumarill with AbilityHuge Power and Water/Fairy typing is a monster in ORAS. The doubled Attack stat hits harder than most fully evolved Pokemon, and Fairy coverage wrecks Drake's entire Dragon E4. Handles Wallace, contributes against Sidney, and tanks hits all game. One of the best Pokemon in any Hoenn playthrough.

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.

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.

Pokedex Entry

Azumarill’s long ears are indispensable sensors. By focusing its hearing, this Pokémon can identify what kinds of prey are around, even in rough and fast-running rivers.

Azumarill can make balloons out of air. It makes these air balloons if it spots a drowning Pokémon. The air balloons enable the Pokémon in trouble to breathe.

Azumarill Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Azumarill's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric), Exeggutor (Grass), and Gengar (Poison), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Azumarill can work for a story run. 420 BST is average, but Water/Fairy typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Sap Sipper is the hidden ability. It absorbs grass moves, raising Attack one stage. Worth hunting for if you want Azumarill to compete at a higher level.

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.
