Stats & Training
Bulk defines Azumarill's stat line. HP and Defense anchor the defensive side, but Attack can't keep up offensively. Moderately hard to find and worth 3 HP EVs.
It spends most of its time in the water. On sunny days, Azumarill floats on the surface of the water and sunbathes.
These Pokémon create air-filled bubbles. When Azurill play in rivers, Azumarill will cover them with these bubbles.
Azumarill Weakness
Azumarill is weak to Electric, Grass, and Poison. On the flip side, it's immune to Dragon-type moves entirely. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread. With 100 HP and balanced defenses, Azumarill can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass, Poison |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Fighting, Bug, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Dragon |

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 10 types means almost nothing walls Azumarill cleanly, with Hydro Pump and Misty Explosion anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

Azumarill Guide
In Sword & Shield, Azumarill can work for a story run. 420 BST is average, but Water/Fairy typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
In Sword & Shield, Huge Power changes the entire equation for Azumarill. The 420 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Aqua Jet with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
Huge Power is what you want on Azumarill. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Thick Fat, Sap Sipper) work on paper but Huge Power is what makes Azumarill worth using.
Game Availability
Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Azumarill spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
