Stats & Training
Marill's spread isn't flashy. HP leads, Attack trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 2 HP EVs, on a fast 800K XP curve.
The end of its tail serves as a buoy that keeps it from drowning, even in a vicious current.
The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.
