===Availability===

Azumarill does not appear in any region of any game as a wild Pokémon in the traditional sense, so it cannot be caught in the traditional sense. As the stage-1 evolution to [[Marill]], it is obtained by being evolved in the traditional sense from any Marill caught in any game and raise up to Level 18.

===Battle Tactics===

Azumarill is an underrated Water-type Pokémon in battle. It has an above average Hit Point rating and average Defense and Special Defense scores, making the Pokémon fairly good at taking hits. Azumarill can be an unexpected Subpuncher: where it uses the Substitute move to ensure the powerful two-turn Focus Punch move can proceed uninterrupted. One of its Ruby/Sapphire traits, Huge Power, doubles Azumarill's Attack score. Unfortunately, Azumarill's Special Attack is dismal, so it can't really take advantage of its STAB bonus on Water attacks. Also, because Huge Power is only possible in the third generation of Pokémon, Azumarill is not seen as incredibly useful in the second generation of Pokémon games (or in the third generation while possessing its other trait, Thick Fat.) However, in Diamond and Pearl, Waterfall, in addition to a new move called Aqua Jet, become physical, allowing it to take full advantage of Huge Power.

==In the Anime==

In the Anime, the first oneappearance of an Azumarill was a female that Ash's [[Totodile]] instantly fell in love with, but did not want his affection. She happened to be a circus star who caught the attention of Team Rocket who kidnapped her along with Pikachu and later Totodile when he tried to save them. Some think they would have been a good couple, if Azumarill hadn't already been in love with a [[Golduck]] owned by her trainer. The next was a mother (Japanese version was [[aunt]]) to an [[Azurill]] in the [[Pichu]] Brother epic. AnAnother Azumarill had a nasty attitude with its [[Meganium]] partner that harassed [[Squirtle]] and [[Bulbasaur]] and lost to [[Pikachu]] in the Silver Conference. A wild one attacked [[Torchic]] as payback for scorching it with its [[Ember attack]] and scared off by Pikachu. In the short ''Pichu Bros. in Party Panic'' on [[Pokémon Channel]] an Azumarill was in charge of delivering the invitations to Meowth's party. An Azumarill in Millennium City enjoys making flower necklaces, but will unleash its Water Gun when angered.
