#298 Azurill

“Azurill (Japanese: ルリリ Ruriri) is a dual-type Normal/Fairy baby Pokémon introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Marill when leveled up with high friendship, which evolves into Azumarill starting at level 18.
Azurill, along with Wailmer and Kecleon, was one of the first Generation III Pokémon revealed, on March 7, 2001.
Azurill is a round, blue mouse Pokémon. It has circular ears with pink insides. There are two white dots on its cheeks, and it has black eyes. Its thin, black, zigzagging tail has a large blue ball at the end about the same size as its body.
The ball is bouncy and packed with the nutrients it needs to be able to grow. The ball can also be used as a flotation device. It can be seen bouncing and playing on this rubbery tail. The tail can also be spun around like a lasso. When the tail is thrown, the body can go as far as 33 feet (10 meters). Though Azurill is typically docile, it swings the big ball on its tail to smash into opponents bigger than itself when angered. It lives at the water’s edge, where they gather to splash around for fun on sunny days.
Prior to Generation VI and in Generation IX, Azurill and its evolved forms are the only known Pokémon that can have Huge Power as an Ability.“-Bulbapedia.
