Azurill (Japanese: ルリリ Ruriri) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Marill by happiness, who evolves into Azumarill starting at level 18.

Biology

Physiology

Azurill's ball tail appears to be the biggest of its evolution family, this is due to Azurill's body itself being small. It is large and bouncy and packed full of the nutrients this Pokémon needs to grow. Azurill can be seen bouncing and playing on its big, rubbery tail. The tail is a flotation device in water. It is the only one of its evolutions with white to the side of its cheeks and not under its chest.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Azurill spins its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurls it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too. Using this unique action, one of these Pokémon managed to hurl itself a record 33 feet.

Behavior

On sunny days they gather at the edge of water and splash about for fun. Azurill will spin its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurl it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too.

Azurill first appeared in Pikachu's PikaBoo as one of the Pokémon that played Hide 'n' Seek with Pikachu.

An Azurill was used in the Izabe Island Pokémon Contest in A Cacturne for the Worse. Harley's Cacturne defeated the Polka Dot Pokémon in the second half of the contest.

Misty was seen with an Azurill in The Scheme Team.

Trivia

• Azurill is, by statistical average, the second-weakest Pokémon in the games, second to Sunkern.
• Azurill and Wynaut are the first two Pokémon that can only be bred if the parent holds a certain item.
• Azurill is the only Pokémon whose type changes completely upon evolution, excluding Eevee.
• Azurill is also the first and currently only Pokémon whose gender ratio (75% ♀ / 25% ♂) is different than that of its evolved forms (50% ♀ / 50% ♂). This causes 1 in 3 female Azurill to evolve into male Marill. It is unknown if this is a programming error, or a reference to real-world animals that can change gender.
  • If it was in fact a programming error, the fact that it was not corrected in future games after Azurill first appeared in Ruby and Sapphire likely is due to the fact that an Azurill can be freely transferred between those games and all games released since then, as a gender change during a trade or during transfer via Pal Park would possibly be more jarring than during evolution.
• Azurill is the only Template:Type2 whose evolutions are not at least part Normal besides Eevee.
• Azurill is often incorrectly attributed the Water-type, likely because of its evolutions.
• Azurill is not only the lightest, but also the shortest non-Water type Pokémon to learn Surf.
• Azurill, along with Wailmer and Kecleon, was one of the first Generation III Pokémon revealed.
• Azurill's Platinum sprite is the only sprite that shows Azurill not sitting on its tail.
• Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all Baby Pokémon, and the second lowest of all Pokémon.

Origin

It appears to be a mouse combined with a beach ball.

Name origin

Azurill's name is a combination of azure, referring to its color, and rill. Its Japanese name seems to be a corruption of 瑠璃 ruri, lapis lazuli, which is probably in its evolution's, Marill's, name.

In other languages

• German: Azurill
• French: Azurill
• Korean: 루리리 Luriri
