Azumarill has established itself as one of the most potent wallbreakers and sweepers in UU thanks to its ability to pummel through defensive cores and sweep late-game. Belly Drum is the main forte, boosting its Attack to monstrous levels to immediately become a threat on the field. Aqua Jet grants Azumarill priority, allowing it to strike Pokemon like Krookodile that would be able to revenge kill it after using Belly Drum. Ice Punch is able to OHKO defensive staples like Tangrowth and Amoonguss in particular, while Play Rough threatens Pokemon like Kommo-o, Slowking, and Primarina that would otherwise be able to fend off +6 Aqua Jet. Unfortunately, Azumarill's lackluster Speed tier and mediocre bulk mean that it can struggle to find opportunities to set up. This makes hyper offense teams that incorporate dual screens a perfect choice for Azumarill, allowing it to take hits that would otherwise cripple it. Teammates would include Pokemon like Alolan Ninetales that can set dual screens and other sweepers like Galarian Moltres that can take advantage of the breaking that Azumarill does.
