Azumarill has always been a powerhouse in the UU Tier. But, due to some great improvements. Azumarill was able to break away from the UU standards. Azumarill has such more new potential in the OU tier now. It's now part fairy which opened up some new ways for the pokemon that it could not handle before. Azumarill always had difficulty with dealing with certain pokemon. Even in the OU Tier. But now it kinda wrecks most of the usable OU Tier as of now. Azumarill also got another blessing this generation. It can now use BellyJet (Belly Drum + Aqua Jet) which makes it unbelievably threathening. There are very few things that can really handle a +6 Aqua Jet. The only downside is that BellyJet really costs Azumarill it's HP cutting it by 50% with can allow to kill it then! But, If it sets up in your face freely. It might just be Good Game! So, Do we keep pikablu in BL or move it to OU.


Aqua Jet - This is really one of it's main niches in the battle. A few pokemon can get access to Aqua Jet. But, Azumarill happens to be the best one who can use this move. Due to the Huge Power boost that it gets. Aqua Jet has priority to allow it to use this move first. Aqua Jet can be widely used to get off big chunk on pokemon that oppose Azumarill. Even things that might be a bit of bulky. It can be even be used widely to get off some good damage on pokemon before you die.

Belly Drum- While this move would've never got a mention due to Azumarills low speed. It's sorta viable now due to the fact that ot can use Aqua Jet along side of it. Belly Drum is a dangerous move to use due to the fact that it lowers 50% of Azumarills HP. But, in exchange Azumarill gets a instant +6 in it's attack stat.. Which if Azumarill gets off on some like a free switch then Azumarill will be overwhelming hard to deal with. Since it has Aqua Jet it can hit things that can outspeed it. Use it's other STABs on things that it can outspeed like bulky ghosts.

Waterfall - Another reason why Azumarill is good. Waterfall hits twice as harder than Aqua Jet. But that double boost in move power can be used greatly to it's advantage. In the current 6th gen meta. Nothing really feels conformable to take a Waterfall. There is a few pokemon that can take a hit and hopefully retaliate with some kind of attack of their own. Waterfall if Azumarill outspeeds can finch you as well.

Superpower- It's kinda hilarious. How something like Azumarill got Superpower by level up now. Superpower has always been good coverage to brake down people that can resist Azumarills water type STABs. Superpower does come with the after effect of decreasing your attack and defense by 1. Which makes Azumarill slightly more targetable on the physical side. However, Due to the new fairy typing not many things can hit it for good physical damage. There is always a strong physical grass attack tho.

Play Rough- This move makes Azumarill better than it ever was. As mentioned before. Azumarill had a bit of trouble with other bulky waters like Jellient & Slowbro. Cause both of them were either immune or resisted to all of the main attacks it used. Play Rough changed that greatly! Now Azumarill can actually fight off some pokes like them now. Play Rough also can lower the attack of a target of a target by 1.

It's way too strong to be used in UU. and plus I always found BL a pointless tier, so I say move to OU.

Move to OU. Huge Power alone can dent the UU tier heavily.
