Azurill

Say it: AZU-ri-ll

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Azurill is the Polka Dot Pokémon — Normal and Fairy, the baby before Marill and Azumarill. In Pokémon GO it is candy on the way to Azumarill — not a battler. Fairy helps against Dragon and Dark; Fighting and Poison hurt. Catch Azurill from eggs and events, then evolve.

Azurill (#298) is a Normal / Fairy Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Azumarill. Trainers never power Azurill for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Marill/Azumarill. Against Azurill, lead with Poison or Steel (Fighting also hurts Normal). Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.

Pokédex notes

Azurill is a Normal / Fairy-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0298. Normal types need coverage moves — check our moveset guide before spending TMs.

Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events

Invest tip: Do not sink Stardust into Azurill. Keep high-IV or lucky copies for Azumarill Great League builds. Shadow Azurill is the same — evolve first.

Type matchups

  • Normal moves do not have a common super-effective target in our chart.
  • Fairy moves hit Fighting, Dragon, and Dark hard.

When Azurill is your opponent, Poison, Steel hits hard.
