azurill

Azurill is a Normal/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Type: Normal / Fairy

Abilities:

• Thick Fat: Reduces damage from Fire and Ice-type moves by 50%.
• Huge Power: Doubles Azurill's Attack stat.
• Sap Sipper (Hidden Ability): Increases Attack when hit by a Grass-type move and grants immunity to Grass-type moves.

Physical Characteristics:

• Small, round, blue Pokémon with a spherical body and a white belly.
• Possesses a large, black, ball-shaped tail filled with fluid which it can use to bounce.
• Has small, round ears with a white outline and black eyes.
• The tail is often larger than its body and acts as a flotation device.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Azurill is often found near water bodies like ponds and rivers, despite not being a Water-type Pokémon.
• Known for being playful and bouncy, it frequently uses its tail to propel itself across water surfaces.
• Forms strong emotional bonds with its caretakers and other Pokémon, often seen in groups with its evolved forms, Marill and Azumarill.

In Battle:

• Primarily a defensive Pokémon with access to support moves.
• Notable moves include Bubble Beam, Play Rough, and Aqua Tail.
• Benefits greatly from its Huge Power ability, which can make it unexpectedly strong in physical attacks.
• Weak against Poison and Steel types due to its Fairy typing.

Evolution:

• Evolves into Marill when its friendship with the trainer is high.
• Further evolves into Azumarill starting at level 18.

Interesting Facts:

• Despite being a Normal/Fairy type, Azurill is often associated closely with water due to its evolutionary line.
• Azurill's gender ratio is unique in that it skews heavily female, with a 75% female and 25% male distribution.
• The large tail is not just for bouncing; it serves as a buoy to help it float and is considered a critical part of its anatomy.
• It is one of the few Pokémon that changed its primary type from Normal to Fairy when the Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI.
