Sap Sipper Azumarill gives balance and stall Water-type teams access to a Grass immunity. Additionally, the combination of Whirlpool and Perish Song allows Azumarill to trap and KO key threats such as Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Mega Venusaur lacking Sludge Bomb. The combination of Protect and Rest allows Azumarill to stall out turns of Perish Song without worrying about being KOed, and the former also allows Azumarill to take advantage of the residual recovery Leftovers provides. Good teammates on stall are Lanturn and Quagsire, as they both provide an Electric-type immunity; the former can provide utility in Heal Bell to keep the team status free, and the latter can take on physical setup sweepers such as Belly Drum Azumarill and Lucario. Offensive teammates such as Choice Scarf Greninja and Keldeo also make nice teammates for Azumarill on balance teams, as they can pressure stallbreakers such as Gliscor. Mega Sharpedo appreciates Azumarill's ability to trap and KO Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and also can take care of annoying Poison-type Pokemon such as Nihilego for it in return.
