Marill (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Water/Fairy Pokémon that was created for the second generation games Gold and Silver. Its official debut before the games is in Pikachu's Vacation. It evolves from Azurill with high Happiness and into Azumarill starting at level 18. Before the sixth generation, it was a pure Water type.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Marill is a small, blue, bipedal Pokémon. It has a nearly spherical shape with a white belly, and has round ears with red insides. These sensitive ears can detect distant sounds. Marill's arms and feet are short and possess no visible digits. There is a blue, bubble-like ball at the tip of its zigzagging black tail. The tail is flexible and configured to stretch, and the ball is full of oil that acts as a buoy to help keep Marill afloat. The ball at the tip of its tail can glow when Marill attacks. In the anime, Marill was shown to be able to bounce on its tail.
Marill is able to swim in strong water currents without being slowed down by the water's resistance, due to its water-repellent fur. Marill feeds on aquatic plants in addition to fishing for food. When it dives, its tail can be seen bobbing on the water's surface. It will anchor its tail around a tree when fishing at the edge of a fast-moving stream. Marill never gets cold after swimming in cold water, due to its water-repellent fur drying up quickly the moment it leaves the water. It lives on the water's edge.
Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]
Other Pokémon games[]
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Marill is the older brother of an Azurill who is kidnapped by Drowzee during the main storyline. In the post-credits storyline, Marill calls on the player and partner to find a way to wake his brother up from a nightmare.
Super Smash Bros. series[]
Marill appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a Poké Ball Pokémon. It uses Tackle, running around the stage and slapping any opponent in its way, dealing damage and pushing its targets back. It can fall down ledges, and if it comes across a wall it turns around and continues to attack. If it's trapped in an enclosed space, like between the two houses in Onett, it will continue to run back and forth until it disappears. Marill can be KO'd by other characters (including the summoner), like Cyndaquil and Chansey, but nothing is rewarded for doing this.
Marill returned to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Spirit, but not a Poké Ball Pokémon.
Trophy descriptions[]
In the anime[]
Predating its appearance in the games, Marill made its first appearance in the short film Pikachu's Vacation. It appears as a part of a quartet of ruffians (the other three being Raichu, Cubone, and fellow second-generation preview Pokémon Snubbull) who cause trouble for Ash Ketchum's Pikachu and his group during their vacation.
In Pokémon the Series, Tracey Sketchit owned a Marill, first seen in the episode The Crystal Onix.
