Is Azurill Good in Ruby & Sapphire Playthrough?

Not common in wild RS. AbilityHuge Power or AbilityThick Fat. Baby stage that evolves into Marill via friendship. The Huge Power lineage is valuable but Azurill's own stats are terrible. Push for Marill as fast as possible.

How to Get Azurill in Ruby & Sapphire

Azurill has no wild encounters. It only hatches from a Marill or Azumarill holding the Sea Incense, so breeding is the lone path to this baby in both versions.

Catch Marill at any of these 6 spots to eventually evolve into Azurill.

Shiny Odds

The only route here is Breeding, about 1 in 8,192 on each try.

Step 1 · Encounter Method1 in Ruby & Sapphire
Method: Breedingthe only method here

Breeding: Hatch eggs of this line; each egg rolls at the base shiny rate (no Masuda before Gen IV).

How many you have done, or plan to do.

120,000
Shiny Odds Per Try1 / 8,192Breeding

ChanceEncountersTime
10%lucky few864----
25%one in four2,357----
50%coin flip5,678----
90%very likely18,862----
How is this calculated?

Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.

chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N,  where  p = 1 / odds per try

Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.

The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.

These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Where these shiny odds come from: Read our full methodology

Curious how fast a hunt could go? Work out your Ruby & Sapphire shiny odds for 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.

Pokedex Entry

AZURILL spins its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurls it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too. Using this unique action, one of these POKéMON managed to hurl itself a record 33 feet.

AZURILL’s tail is large and bouncy. It is packed full of the nutrients this POKéMON needs to grow. AZURILL can be seen bouncing and playing on its big, rubbery tail.

Azurill Ruby & Sapphire Guide
