Marill

Marill in the games: the middle stage of the Azurill line

Marill is the Aqua Mouse Pokémon. It evolves from Azurill once its friendship is high enough, then evolves into Azumarill at level 18. Its standard abilities are Thick Fat and Huge Power, with Sap Sipper as a hidden ability.

It was a pure Water type when it debuted in Generation II; Generation VI added the Fairy type, making it the dual Water and Fairy type it is today.

Marill in animation: Tracey's and Lyra's partners

Marill showed up in the anime before its game debut. Tracey, the Pokémon Watcher who traveled with Ash through the Orange Islands, had a Marill that debuted in "The Crystal Onix." Much later, Lyra, a temporary companion during the Diamond and Pearl series, had Marill as her main Pokémon, debuting in "An Egg Scramble!" A separate Marill that knows Sing appears in several Pikachu shorts, puffing up in anger whenever its audience falls asleep, much like Jigglypuff.
