Azumarill @ Leftovers
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Whirlpool
- Perish Song
- Rest
- Protect

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.

Perish Trap Azumarill gives Balance and Stall Water-type teams access to a Grass immunity (Explain why this is important, also it should be "Sap Sipper Azumarill gives..." since you're talking about the grass immunity in this sentence). Additionally, the combination of Whirlpool and Perish Song allows Azumarill to trap, then KO key threats such as Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Mega Venusaur lacking Poison-type STAB. Protect allows Azumarill to stall out turns of Perish Song without taking damage and gain an additional turn of Leftovers recovery. Rest allows Azumarill to stay healthy throughout the match allowing it to continually come in and Perish Trap (These last two sentences kind of sound like an analysis, combine the two and make it a little more conversational). Lanturn and Quagsire makes a nice teammate for Azumarill on stall teams as (say some stuff about quag with lanturn)it can provides an Electric-type immunity and Heal Bell support so Azumarill does not have to worry about Status such as its Rest. 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. Greninja can also pivot in Azumarill safely with U-turn (This is a weird interjection, I'd remove it and mention mega shark instead).
QC 1/1 just make it generally sound like less of an analysis

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, (RC) then and KO key threats such as Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Mega Venusaur lacking Poison-type STAB Sludge Bomb (i think this is the only poison type coverage move it uses so its easier to specify i think). The combination of Protect and Rest allows Azumarill to stall out turns of Perish Song without worrying about being KO'ed KOed, and the former also allows Azumarill to take advantage of the residual recovery Leftovers provides. Good teammates on stall are Lanturn and Quagsire, (AC) as they both provide an Electric-type immunity; (sc) the former can provide utility in Heal Bell and 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, (AC) as they can pressure stallbreakers such as Gliscor.
