How to Get Azurill in FireRed & LeafGreen
Azurill is a breeding-only Pokemon in Gen 3. Pair a Marill or Azumarill holding Sea Incense at the Four Island Day Care. Since Marill is LeafGreen-exclusive in FRLG, FireRed players need a Marill trade first.
Catch Marill at any of these 3 spots to eventually evolve into Azurill.

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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
