Marill
Say it: MA-ri-ll
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Marill is the Aqua Mouse Pokémon — Water and Fairy middle stage between Azurill and Azumarill. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Azumarill — not a finished raid attacker. Water/Fairy hits Fire, Dragon, and Dark well; Electric, Grass, and Poison punish it. Evolve Azurill up the line. Ice Beam / Play Rough kits belong on Azumarill.

Marill (#183) is a Water / Fairy Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution toward Azumarill. Trainers almost never power Marill for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Azumarill. Against Marill, lead with Electric, Grass, or Poison. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
