Talk:Azurill (Pokémon)

In Marill and Azumarill, the tail is said to be filled with an oily substance, while Azurill's page says that its filled with a nutritional substance. Is this the same oil? Does it feed off of it or even produce it naturally? -Professor DJM

Gender Bender

It changes gender? I'd read, or assumed, that the probability of finding/hatching female Azurill was just different to the probability of finding/hatching female Marill, not that they changed gender upon evolution. To me, this seems much more likely. — THE TROM — 20:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Different gender ratios between two members of an evolutionary line really does mean there are gender-benders. Since Azurill is 75-25 favoring female, three-quarters of the gender values correspond to female Azurill and one-quarter to male Azurill. Since Marill is 50-50, exactly half of the gender values go to each gender.

If all of the gender values and their correspondences can be placed in a line, one could see that one-quarter of the total gender values correspond to female Azurill and to male Marill. A female Azurill with such a gender value is a gender-bender and will evolve into a male Marill. It matters not how the Azurill is encountered and obtained. The "1 in 3 female Azurill" listed corresponds to only the gender values for female Azurill, ignoring the total one-quarter of the total gender values for male Azurill. --Shiningpikablu252 20:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

WEAK?!

I had a Azurill on Pokémon Emareld. We were in a tricky battle and she almost fanted, but then she keep growing levels untill she got her HP to the yellow zone (She grew about 10 levels). CALL THAT WEAK!?!?Glitchym1 11:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

It's weak. Let's say that you have a battle where you've False Swiped a Lv80 Snorlax to 1HP, then it uses Giga Impact and kills your current Pokémon. You switch a Lv15 Magikarp and Tackle the Snorlax (Snorlax must recharge), giving all EXP to that Magikarp. It gains a bunch of levels. That wouldn't change the fact that Magikarp sucks.

Lv. 80 Snorlax against what? a Lv. 15 Azurill? I think this goes to the forums--ForceFire 11:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

It was only a example of how one battle doesn't change the fact that it's weak. And indeed, this is quite forum-like content. UltimateSephiroth ^{(about me · chat · edits)} 11:41, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
