Azurill (Japanese: ルリリ Ruriri) is a dual-type Normal/Fairy baby Pokémon. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Marill when leveled up with high friendship, which evolves into Azumarill starting at level 18.
Biology
Azurill is a round, blue mouse Pokémon. It has circular ears with pink insides. There are two white dots on its cheeks, and it has black eyes. Its thin, black, zigzagging tail has a large blue ball at the end. The ball is bouncy and packed with the nutrients it needs to be able to grow. The ball can also be used as a flotation device. It can be seen bouncing and playing on this rubbery tail. The tail can also be spun around like a lasso. When the tail is thrown, the body can go as far as 33 feet (10 meters). It uses its tail for fighting opponents bigger than itself. It lives at the water's edge.

Trivia
- Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all Normal- and Fairy-type Pokémon.
- Azurill is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 190.
- With Huge Power, Azurill can reach the highest Attack stat of all Baby Pokémon, capping at a maximum of 304.
- Polka dots are known in Japan as 水玉 mizutama, literally meaning water balls. This might explain why Azurill is known as the Polka Dot Pokémon.
- This name also reflects the way Azurill is indirectly related with Water.
- Prior to Generation VI, because Azurill's gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms and its evolution is not dependent on gender, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time, female Azurill has a 1/3 chance of evolving into a male Marill (depending on its personality value). Azurill is the only Pokémon to do this. In Generation VI, Azurill retains its gender upon evolving, despite the gender ratios still differing.
- Azurill, along with Wailmer and Kecleon, was one of the first Generation III Pokémon revealed, in early March 2001.
- Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all baby Pokémon.
- Azurill is the only Pokémon which evolves through friendship whose evolved form evolves by level.
- Azurill is the shortest Normal-type Pokémon.
Origin
Azurill appears to be a mouse combined with a beach ball or possibly a personal flotation device or lifebuoy.
Its change into a Normal/Fairy suggests it may also have some influence from more uncommon representations of the tooth fairy
Name origin
Azurill is a combination of azure (a shade of blue) or azul (Spanish and Portuguese for blue) and rill (a small river or brook).
Ruriri may be a corruption of 瑠璃 ruri (lapis lazuli) which is theoretically in Marill's—its evolution—name, or it may be a variation of azurite (a blue rock).
