{{main|Marill (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Marill figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Marill|31}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Marill will immediately start running in the direction the ball was thrown. Any opponents in the way will be juggled with its {{m|Tackle}} attack. It can be knocked off the screen with a strong enough attack.

====Trophy information====
This Aqua Mouse Pokémon evolves into Azumarill. The round ball on the end of its tail acts like a flotation device, so it can float safely on the roughest of water conditions. It resides on [[Mt. Mortar]] in seclusion; few of the creatures are ever seen. Marill's cuteness has earned it a large and loyal fan base.

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=water
|gen=2
|golddex=The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.
|silverdex=The end of its tail serves as a buoy that keeps it from drowning, even in a vicious current.
|crystaldex=The fur on its body naturally repels water. It can stay dry, even when it plays in the water.
|rubydex=Marill's oil-filled tail acts much like a life preserver. If you see just its tail bobbing on the water's surface, it's a sure indication that this Pokémon is diving beneath the water to feed on aquatic plants.
|sapphiredex=When fishing for food at the edge of a fast-running stream, Marill wraps its tail around the trunk of a tree. This Pokémon's tail is flexible and configured to stretch.
|emeralddex=Its body is covered with water-repellent fur. Because of the fur, it can swim through water at high speed without being slowed by the water's resistance.
|firereddex=The end of its tail serves as a buoy that keeps it from drowning, even in a vicious current.
|leafgreendex=The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.
|stadium2dex=The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.
|diamonddex=Using its tail as a float, it dives underwater. It likes eating plants that grow on river bottoms.
|pearldex=The tip of its tail is filled with oil that is lighter than water, so it acts as a float.
|platinumdex=The oil-filled end of its tail floats on water. It keeps Marill from drowning even in a strong current.

==Trivia==
* For months prior to to the release of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], Marill was often incorrectly referred to as "Pikablu", likely because of its slight resemblance to {{p|Pikachu}}.
*Marill's name was to be spelt '''Marril''' as show in many merchandise for  [[Mewtwo Strikes Back| the first movie]].
* In its [[Unreleased Pokémon#Mariru|original design]], Marill was pink.
* Marill was the third Generation II Pokémon to appear before the Johto series (after {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}).
* Marill is the only Pokémon that evolves from a pure {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon but isn't a Normal-type itself, other than the [[Eeveelution]]s.
 
===Origin===
It may be based upon a combination of a {{wp|mouse}} and a {{wp|beach ball}}. Its body and ears also resemble a {{wp|water molecule}}.

====Name origin====
Marill's name may be a combination of ''marine'', of the water, and ''rill'', a small river or brook. The name may also come from a contraction of the phrase ''marine blue''.  In Japanese, the romanization of Marill is ''Mariru''. It's possible that the name could have derived from the Japanese 丸い ''marui'', ''round'' or ''circular'', or 鞠 ''mari'', ball and 瑠璃 ''ruri'', {{wp|lapis lazuli}}.
