Marill (Japanese: マリル Maril) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Azurill when leveled up with high friendship and evolves into Azumarill starting at level 18.
Biology
Physiology
Marill is a small, bipedal, blue mammalian Pokémon. It has a nearly spherical shape with a white underside, and round ears with red insides. Its arms and feet are short and possess no visible digits. It also possesses a zigzagging black tail with a blue, bubble-like ball on the end of it. The tail's jagged appearance originally led people to believe that it was related to Pikachu. Marill's tail is flexible and configured to stretch.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Aside from being able to swim well, it also has excellent hearing. It has water-repellent fur that allows it ease of swimming and reduces friction with the water. The end of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, keeps Marill afloat.
Behavior
Its tail can be seen bobbing on the water's surface while Marill dives underwater to feed on aquatic plants. When fishing for food at the edge of a fast-running stream, Marill wraps its tail around the trunk of a tree. Although the behavior of bouncing on its tail is more commonly characterized by its pre-evolution, Azurill, as evidenced by the episode Abandon Ship! Marill may also do this on occasion.
Habitat
This Pokémon is normally found in and around fresh water.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Marill are herbivores. Its diet mainly includes water grasses on riverbeds.

Trivia
- Marill's early design had a pink body instead of blue, noticeably smaller ears, and lacked the erratic tail pattern.
- For months prior to the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Marill was often incorrectly referred to as "Pikablu", likely because of its slight resemblance to Pikachu.
- It is even referred to as "Pikablu" on the Topps trading cards for the first movie.
- Marill's name was originally spelled Marril, as shown in some merchandise for the first movie.
- Since its introduction, Marill has been available in every Japan-centric regional Pokédex.
- Marill and Azumarill are the only Pokémon that can have the Electric-type as their sole weakness. This is because of their Hidden Ability Sap Sipper.
Origin
Marill may be based upon a combination of a mouse and a beach ball or possibly a personal flotation device or lifebuoy. Its body and ears also resemble a water molecule.
Name origin
Marill may be a combination of mar (Spanish and Portuguese for sea) or marine (of the water) and rill (a small river or brook). It may also come from a contraction of the phrase marine blue.
Maril may be a combination 丸い marui (round or circular) or 鞠 mari (ball) and 瑠璃 ruri (lapis lazuli).
