The ball on Azurill’s tail bounces like a rubber ball, and it’s full of the nutrients the Pokémon needs to grow.

Azurill Weakness

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