Potential Movesets
Belly Drum
Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Knock Off
This move set is rather simple. You basically set-up a Belly Drum and try to sweep you opponent. Sitrus Berry restores 25% of your health when you get to half of your HP. Adamant 252 attack with Huge Power in order to maximize Azumarill's damage output after a Belly Drum. 164 Speed allows Azumarill to outspeed univested Base 70's such as Skarmory, 92 HP is put into bulk so Azumarill can take hit better. Aqua Jet for Priority STAB so your sweep isn't stopped by fast revenge killers who lack priority. Play Rough for a hard hitting stab and coverage. Knock off for coverage and for killing things such as Amoonguss. Best used as a lategame sweeper.
Assault Vest
Azumarill @ Assault Vest
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Knock Off/ Superpower
Assault Vest allows Azumarill to become arguably one of the best special pivots in the game. This set can switch into the attacks of many special attackers such as Mega Gardevior. Adamant 252 attack evs with Huge Power in order to maximize Azumarill's damage output. 16 Spd evs allow it to reach 300 after the Assault Vest boost. 240 HP increases Azumarill's bulk to even higher levels. Waterfall and Play Rough for STAB. Aqua Jet for a priority STAB. Knock Off can help Azumarill get rid of some pokemon's items. Superpower can be run to hit Ferrothorn although it should be noted that it has the potential to only 3hko depending on the Ferrothorn's spread.
Choice Band
Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Knock Off/ Superpower
The choice banded set makes Azumarill have immediate power instead of having to Belly Drum up first. This set makes an excellent revenge killer due to how strong this pokemon's priority is after the boosts such as STAB and CB. Adamant 252 attack evs with Huge Power in order to maximize Azumarill's damage output. Play Rough and Waterfall for hard-hitting STABS. Superpower or Knock Off on this set really depends on what your team needs. Knock Off can get rid of pokemon's items. Superpower pretty much stags a potential 1hko on Ferrothorn depending on the set.
Some Threats to Azumarill: Strong Electric Types can really hurt Azumarill no matter its set.
Amoonguss and Venuasaur can wall most variants with ease and can hit it pretty hard.
Ferrothorn: If Azumarill lacks Superpower Ferrothorn can just wall it for days.
Final Thoughts: Overall Azumarill is a solid pokemon and can fit onto many playstyles. It has very few flaws and is a great choice for a bulky water type.
How well do you think Azumarill competes with others in this metagame? Discuss it down below.
