Its tail bounces like a rubber ball. It flings that tail around to fight opponents bigger than itself.

Azurill Weakness

Type-wise, Azurill takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread.
