Tracey Sketchit's Marill

Marill first appeared in Pikachu's Vacation. It was causing trouble for Pikachu and co. along with a Raichu, a Snubbull and a Cubone.

Another Marill was used by Tracey Sketchit.

There was a different Marill in For Crying Out Loud. This one was a bit of a crybaby and it got lost in a forest with Misty.

Vivi Winstrate also owns a Marill. When Vivi battled against Max in Candid Camerupt, Max wanted to go easy on Vivi's Marill, but Ash's Corphish refused to abide with Max and defeated Marill anyway.

In the TFG

One Marill figure has been released.

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 DoubleSlap. It can be knocked off the screen with a smash 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.

Generation II Gold The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.

It can stay dry, even when it plays in the water. Stadium 2 The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.
Generation III Ruby 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. Sapphire 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. Emerald 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.

Trivia

• For months prior to to the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Marill was often incorrectly referred to as "Pikablu", likely because of a slight resemblance to Pikachu.
• In its original design, Marill was pink.
• Marill was the third Generation II Pokémon to appear before the Johto series (after Ho-Oh and Togepi, and not counting Pikachu's Vacation).

Origin

It may be based upon a combination of a mouse and a beach ball.

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 Maril is Mariru. It's possible that the name could have derived from the word marui マルイ, which means round or circular.

In other languages
