Tracey's Marill: Difference between revisions

'''Tracey's Marill''' (Japanese: '''ケンジのマリル''' ''Kenji's Maril'') was one of the two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Tracey Sketchit]] before he met {{Ash}} in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and the second seen in his possession.

Marill was first called upon in ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'' to help locate the mythical [[Crystal Onix]] using its superior hearing abilities after {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} failed to locate it with its sight. In a matter of seconds, Marill picked up on Onix's voice and led the group to its secret den located on the other side of [[Sunburst Island]]. As a {{t|Water}} Pokémon, it was also able to find Onix hiding underwater.

On the day that Tracey announced that he would leave the group in order to be {{an|Professor Oak}}'s assistant, he used Marill to help send {{TRT}} blasting off after Scyther had rescued {{AP|Pikachu}} from them.

Marill helped with the crisis at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s laboratory in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

Marill hasn't been seen much since Tracey arrived in [[Pallet Town]]. However, it produced the {{pkmn|Egg}} that hatched into [[Misty's Azurill]]. The two battled alongside each other in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', firing dual Water Gun attacks at Team Rocket after they had tried to make off with the Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

Generally, Marill is shown to be a friendly Pokémon with nurturing instincts.  While the group was on a deserted island in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', it used its tail to keep Togepi entertained.  Marill is also generally obedient unless it is faced with an opponent that is big and scary, as seen in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. In such instances, Marill will jump in Tracey's arms for protection.

Marill helps Tracey as a [[Pokémon watcher]] as its ears can hear Pokémon from far away and locate where the Pokémon are found. He has also used it to help find [[Ash's Pikachu]] and Misty's Togepi when they became separated from their Trainers.
