Azumarill is a melee all-rounder that thrives in single-target battles in Pokémon Unite. Playing the Pokemon can be misleading as it’s rated as easy, but there’s still some depth to Azumarill. These are the best held items, battle items, and movesets for Azumarill in Pokémon Unite.
Best use for Azumarill
Azumarill thrives on damaging single targets. This is due to his ability Huge power. Whenever damage is dealt to a single Pokémon, Azumarill will always deal a critical hit. However, when facing multiple Pokemon, attacks never result in a critical hit.

Aqua tail and jacuzzi are the first moves players choose from level five and are both useful. Both moves will restore Azumarill’s HP, with Whirlpool being better for melee builds and Aqua Tail being good for ranged attacks.

- attack weight – A good item for Azumarill players who want to maximize their damage. Increases Azumarill’s Attack stat each time they score by six at level one and by twelve at level 20. This stacks up to six times.
- buddy barrier – This item is awesome for any Pokemon as it increases its survivability and helps in a team battle. This creates a shield for both Azumarill and the nearby ally with the lowest HP when Azumarill uses his unit move.
- muscle band – Muscle Band is almost a requirement for basic attack builds for Azumarill. It increases the damage of Azumarill’s basic attack based on the HP of the Pokémon it’s fighting. It also increases the speed of these attacks.
- razor blade – Reducing the movement speed of opponent’s Pokemon with this item has great results and works well with Azumarill’s Move Rough. This item also increases Azumarill’s basic attacks based on its Attack stat.
- focus band – Although this held item doesn’t always trigger when shot down by opposing Pokémon, it can increase Azumarill’s survivability. Paired with Whirlpool or Aqua Tail, Focus Band can guarantee that Azumarill will heal damage from opposing Pokemon in a battle.

combat items
Combat items are largely left to player preference, but there are some synergies with some builds that players might want to consider.
- scorer – Paired with Attack Weight, Goal Getter can ensure Azumarill scores as often as possible to get her Attack Buffs. The high 90-second cooldown might seem like a lot, but when used properly, it can get you a last-minute score.
- X speed – Mobility is very important in Pokémon Unite, and players who don’t use Play Rough may end up chasing enemy Pokémon for too long. X Speed can guarantee both getting out of chases and ending a chase quickly for Pokemon with low HP.
- X attack – Both Razor Claw and Scope Lens have increased their effectiveness as Azumarill’s Attack increases. With the increase in basic attack damage, both Aqua Tail and Play Rough are greatly improved. The low cooldown of only 40 seconds is a good bonus.
