Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Play Rough is Azumarill's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgrading Bubble into it instead of Water Pulse. The move increases movement speed by 35% for 4s and changes the next basic attack. When performing the next basic attack, lunge at one enemy in range and deliver repeated blows; dealing damage to that target and leave it unable to act for .75s. Using Play Rough will overwrite any active Aqua Tail attack change. At level 13, the move further increases movement speed when used, and also the cooldown is decreased by 1.5s.
