Marill Weakness
Marill's Water/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Grass, and Poison. It shrugs off Dragon-type attacks completely. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread.

|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass, Poison |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Fighting, Bug, Dark |

Marill Evolutions
Marill is the middle stage between Azurill and Azumarill. It's a three-stage line with one more evolution to go. For breeding, quick to hatch with a decent partner pool via two egg groups. So far, HP got the biggest boost (+20 from Azurill). The final form adds another 170 stats on top. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Marill to get Azurill eggs easily using 50 partners from the Fairy and Water1 egg groups. Notable egg moves include Amnesia, Aqua Jet, Belly Drum and 17 more.
USUM Marill Best Moveset
Water/Fairy at 20 Attack with AbilityHuge Power doubling it to an effective 40, still too low at pre-evolution level. AbilitySap Sipper absorbs Grass as a hidden ability. The moveset at these stats does nothing. Azumarill one evolution away earns S-tier through AbilityHuge Power at doubled 50 Attack.

Moves List
The natural movepool does the job, but Amnesia and Aqua Jet from the egg pool give Marill something extra. Pair those with Hydro Pump and Aqua Tail for STAB and coverage across 9 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.
