[SET COMMENTS]

Thanks to Sap Sipper, Azumarill is a good check to threatening Grass-type Pokemon like Rillaboom and Appletun while also checking Dragon-type Pokemon like Hydreigon for stall Water-type teams. Due to its access to Whirlpool and Perish Song, it is not only able to beat aforementioned Pokemon but also take on defensive Pokemon like Toxapex and Araquanid which can be otherwise hard for stall Water teams to deal with. With using Perish Song and Whirlpool, Azumarill can trap opposing Pokemon with Whirlpool and use Perish Song to take care of Pokemon like Urshifu-S, Excadrill, and Ferrothorn. Protect allows Azumarill to avoid damage which also allows it to stall a turn for Perish Song and can scout opposing choiced Pokemon like Indeedee-M and Galarian Darmanitan. Rest serves to keep Azumarill healthy and get rid of status. 252 HP EVs along with 252 Defense EVs and a Bold nature helps Azumarill sponge physical attacks like Wicked Blow from Urshifu-S and Excadrill's Earthquake.

All teammates appreciate Azumarill for being able to come in on Dragon- and Grass-type attacks thanks to its typing and its ability Sap Sipper. However, Azumarill struggles with taking Electric-type attacks so partners such as Quagsire and Lanturn are needed as an Electric immunity. Lanturn can heal status ailments for the entire team with Heal Bell while Quagsire can come in on physical set up attackers such as Mimikyu, Azumarill and Zeraora thanks to Unaware. Toxapex is a another great partner due to it being able to absorb Toxic and Toxic Spikes and put down its own Toxic Spikes to help wear down the opposing team. Mantine helps with using Defog that would otherwise wear down Azumarill and also useful in sponging strong Special Attacks from Pokemon like Gengar and Volcorona that Azumarill has trouble with. Slowking is another great teammate as it can come in on Special Attacks from Indeedee-M, Alakazam, and Duraludon that can heavily dent Azumarill.

[SET COMMENTS]

Azumarill is a great physical attacker on offensive Water-type teams because of the ability Huge Power allowing it to be a fearsome attacker. It also has good coverage options with Knock Off and Superpower, priority in Aqua Jet and its Fairy-typing to greatly help against Fighting-, Dragon- and Dark-types such as Keldeo, Goodra, and Urshifu-S. Aqua Jet serves as priority to take down frail Pokemon such as Galvantula, Alolan Raichu and as an emergency check to Volcorona. Knock Off is useful to get rid of Eviolite from Pokemon such as Chansey and Galarian Corsola while also being very useful taking care of Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Nercozma and Aegislash. Play Rough allows Azumarill to take care of Fighting-, Dark-, and Dragon-types like Keldeo, Urshifu-S and Hydreigon. Superpower gives Azumarill a way to hit Steel- and Normal-types such as Ferrothorn and Blissey while Liquidation is a more powerful Water-type STAB move to do major damage to Corviknight and Galarian Weezing. An Adamant nature with maximum Attack and Speed EVs enable Azumarill to be as strong as possible and outpace Covriknight and base Mandibuzz.

Araquaid provides Sticky Web for Azumarill, which it loves because it allows it to outpace Pokemon such as Toxtirity. Pelipper gives Azumarill Rain thanks to Drizzle, which helps Azumarill turns into a more powerful wallbreaker with its Water-type attacks, can also use Defog to get rid of entry hazards and use U-turn to bring Azumarill in safely. Pelipper is also useful to get rid of Grass-types that can threaten Azumarill like Appletun and Celebi. Crawduant forms a wallbreaking core with Azumarill and greatly helps with Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Slowbro and Dragapult that Azumarill struggle with. Choice Band Dracovish greatly helps with Poison-types like Toxapex and Amoonguss that Azumarill has trouble beating. Sesimeitoad serves as a useful Electric immunity for Azumarill, can take care of Electric-types such as Zeraora and can set up Stealth Rock to help Azumarill have an easier time sweeping. Keldeo supports Azumarill with taking care of troubling Steel-and Normal-types like Ferrothorn, Duraludon, and Heliolisk. Choice Scarf Rotom-W is helpful to use Defog to keep hazards up from Azumarill, and can also use Volt Switch to help greatly in the Water-type matchup and safely bring Azumarill in. Sharpedo is excellent partner for Azumarill because it can greatly help take care of troublesome Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon like Indeedee-M and Gengar.

- Azumarill is a great trapper for stall Water-types teams thanks to its access to Whirlpool and Perish Song and can use Sap Sipper to absorb Grass-type attacks (from? examples) and serve as a Dragon-type immunity thanks to Azumarill's Fairy-typing.
- 252 HP Evs along with 252 SpD Def EVs helps it sponge physical attacks such as Wicked Blow from Urshifu-S and Excadrill's Earthquake.
- Protect allows it to avoid damage from the opposing Pokemon and help take care of Pokemon with Whirlpool and Perish Song. I feel as if Protect should be mentioned as a way for scouting or moreso (even better) relate it in correlation to Perish Song more. Like "Protect allows Azumarill to avoid damage which also allows it to stall a turn for Perish Song"
- Lanturn can help take off status off of Azumarill heal status ailments for the entire team with Heal Bell while Quarsire can come in on physical set up attackers such as Mimikyu, Azumarill and Zeraora thanks to Unaware.
- Mantine helps with using Defog that would otherwise wear down Azumarill and also usful in sponging strong Special Attacks that Azumarill cannot take well from Pokemon such as Ribobee and Volcorona.
- Assault Vest Slowking is another great teammate because it can come in on Special Attacks from Indeedee-M, Alakazam, and Duraludon that can heavily dent Azumarill. I feel like Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers are still usable sets for Slowking as I feel AV isn't the direct set for Slowking.

- Aqua Jet serves to to serve as prority to take down frail Pokemon such as Ribobee, weakened Pokemon and serve as an emergency check to Volcorona. This sound a little weird, you can say it serves an emergency check to both Volcarona and Ribombee, this isn't a GP but mention Alolan Raichu most def.
- Knock Off is useful to get rid of Eviolite from Pokemon such as Chansey and Galarian Corsola while also being very useful in the for Psychic- and Ghost-type matchup.Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon like x, x, x. Sounds pretty strict as Psychic and Ghost mons aren't strictly used in just [Psychic/Ghost] and is effective utility in all matchups.
- Play Rough allows Azumarill to take care of threats on Fighting-, Dark-, and Dragon-types like Keldeo, Urshifu-S and Hydreigon
- Superpower gives Azumarill a way to hit Steel- and Normal-type Pokemon like Ferrothorn and [insert example] while Liquidation is a more powerful Water-type STAB move that can do major damage to most Pokemon.
- An adamant nature with maximum Attack and Speed EVs enable Azumarill to be as strong as possible and outpace Covriknight and base Mandibuzz. I am very positive Mandibuzz runs 16 Spe for Adamant Azumarill so saying "base" as in inferring non-invested is better
- Araquaid prvoides Sticky Web for Azumarill, which it appricates because this enables it to outpace threats such as Kyurem, Mimikyu and Indeedee-M. This is still outsped by a few points by all of these threats as you are making this analysis around Adamant Azumarill. You can either remove this or at the end of the sentence say with a "Jolly Nature"
- Peipper is also useful to get rid of Grass-types that can threaten Azumarill like Rillaboom and Celebi. Pelipper nearly dies to Rillaboom and best believe theyll be running hazards. You can reference Choice Specs maybe as it helps with fat like Toxapex and mons in general on Water, Poison, etc.
- Choice Band Dracovish greatly helps with Poison-types like Toxapex and Amoonguss that Azumarill has trouble beating. If its not Choice Band, its not doing as much as it needs to do
- Sesimeitoad serves as a useful Electric immunity for Azumarill, can take care of Electric-types such as Zeraora and can set up Stealth Rock to help Azumarill have an easoer time sweeping.
- Keldeo helps with supports Azumarill in taking care of troubling Steel- and Normal-types like Ferrothorn and (normal example)Duraludon. that Azumarill have trouble beating.

* ' Azumarill is a great trapper for stall Water-types teams thanks to its access to Whirlpool and Perish Song and can use Sap Sipper to absorb Grass-type attacks from Rillaboom and Appletun and serve as a Dragon-type immunity thanks to Azumarill's Fairy-typing.' Sap Sipper as an ability should be mentioned first in the sentence then rest of the stuff like its trapping shenanigan, use this sentence 'Thanks to Sap Sipper, Azumarill is a good check to threatening Grass-type Pokemon like Rillaboom and Appletun while also checking Dragon-type Pokemon like Hydreigon for stall Water-type teams. Due to its access to Whirlpool and Perish Song, it is not only able to beat aforementioned Pokemon but also take on defensive Pokemon like Toxapex and Araquanid which can be otherwise hard for stall Water teams to deal with.'

* ' With using Perish Song and Whirlpool, Azumarill can trap opposing Pokemon with Whirlpool and use Perish Song to take care of Pokemon like Urshifu-S, Excadrill, and Ferrothorn, while avoiding to be KOed switch out on the last Perish Song turn avoid being KOed.' You can talk about Switching out on the last turn of Perish Song when you talk about Protect, since protect helps to stall Perish Song turns and so it goes well there.

* ' Protect allows Azumarill to avoid damage which also allows it to stall a turn for Perish Song and can scout the opposing Pokemon.' Give examples of common choiced locked Pokemon like Galarian Darmanitan and Indeedee-M against which Protect will be helpful to scout.

* ' Mantine helps with using Defog that would otherwise wear down Azumarill and also useful in sponging strong Special Attacks that Azumarill cannot take well from Pokemon like Ribobee and Volcorona.' Remove Ribombee, add Gengar.

[SET COMMENTS 2]
* ' Aqua Jet serves to to serve as priority to take down frail Pokemon such as Ribobee, Alolan Raichu and serve as an emergency check to Volcorona.' Replace Ribombee with Galvantula, much more common and a big threat to Water.

* ' Superpower gives Azumarill a way to hit Steel- and Normal-types such as Ferrothorn and Blissey while Liquidation is a more powerful Water-type STAB move that can do major damage to most Pokemon.' Talk about Liquidation hitting Corviknight and Galarian Weezing harder than any move on the set.

* Add Nasty Plot Rotom-W and Sharpedo as teammates, explain how they support Azumarill offensively.

* There are some mispronunciations throughout the analyses, please correct that.
