Azumarill is a Pokémon that has become monstrous with the release of the ROSA versions. It inherits a dual type Fairy / Water allowing it to be positioned more easily than other type Pokémon. Fairyparticularly in relation to attacks of the type Fire. He has access to the Aqua-Jet attack, rather rare and interesting in OverUsed, and has the Coloforce talent which allows him to double his striking power unconditionally. He nevertheless remains generally weak against type walls Poison and type Steelhaving no real solution due to its extremely targeted move-pool.

Most of the classic movesets that we will choose on him are often comparable and are based on the same principle: we place him on an attack that he resists or on a KO, we hit with a big blow to hurt and we remove him (or let him die) right after. Wise choice, making him a formidable Revenge Killer, but with limited effectiveness. We will therefore rarely be able to talk about Sweep outside of his moveset with Cognobidon.

No secret here, we’re here to hit. We just keep 2 big stabbed attacks to do as much damage as possible. Aqua-Jet acts as a finisher against faster Pokémon.

We keep the Maximum Atk because that’s what we like, and we invest the rest in HP to keep a decent bulk. Overpower will be used to pass the walls of type Steel that could be problematic, like Steelthorn. But Sabotage allows you to have a safe attack, which will be effective even if the opponent switches.

Problem here, no solution against type pokemons Poison like Florizarre, nor against the pokemons Steel defensive ones who don’t fear Overpower.

A rather original moveset that nevertheless remains effective. The 252 EVs in HP allow Azumarill to reach the threshold of 404 HP, and therefore to create clones at 101 HP resistant to an Atlas Strike.

Mitra-Fist is a very interesting alternative to the Overpower attack because it does not cause Def and Sp Def debuffs while benefiting from Cloning. In addition, from the top of its 150 power, this attack will make it easier to manage Pokémon that are “normally” sensitive to the type Fight. Although this is still not a solution for walls of the type Poison. A less versatile moveset but one that can create surprises.

The famous moveset so unique to this pokemon. Investing 164 EVs in speed allows Azumarill to surpass pokemon with less than 70 base in this statistic. 92 EVs in HP allow to keep some bulk and activate the Sitrus Berry after a Cognobidon while being full HP.

Major problem with this moveset: there is no longer even a solution for type walls Steel. You will only be able to rely on your brute force to get past physical tanks, which can be feasible since a +6 Atk buff hurts. But be careful of Pokémon that cancel stat increases!
