Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Aqua Tail is Azumarill's first move. It is obtained by evolving from Marill at level 5 and upgrading Tackle into it instead of Whirlpool. The move increases the speed and area of effect of the next three basic attacks for 5s. If these basic attacks hit from a distance, they also deal increased damage, restore HP, and can ignore the Defense stat and shield effects of enemies hit. Using Aqua Tail will overwrite any active Play Rough attack change. At level 11, after activating this move, the next three basic attacks will also reduce the cooldown of all moves by .5s when they hit an enemy from a distance.
