Marill (Japanese: マリル Maril) is a dual-type Water/Fairy Pokémon, and prior to Generation VI, a pure Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Azurill when leveled up with high friendship and evolves into Azumarill starting at level 18.
Biology
Marill is a small, blue bipedal Pokémon. It has a nearly spherical shape with a white underside, and has round ears with red insides. These sensitive ears can detect distant sounds. Its arms and feet are short and posses no visible digits. It also possesses a zigzagging black tail with a blue, bubble-like ball on the end of it. The tail is flexible and configured to stretch and the ball is full of oil. The oil is lighter than water, and keeps Marill afloat in the water. In the anime, Marill was shown to be able to bounce on its tail.
Marill is able to swim in strong water currents without being slowed down by the water's resistance, due to its water-repellent fur. Marill feeds on aquatic plants in addition to fishing for food. When it dives, its tail can be seen bobbing on the water's surface. It will anchor its tail around a tree when fishing at the edge of a fast moving stream. It lives on the water's edge.

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.
- 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 and Maril may be a combination of 丸い marui (round or circular) or 鞠 mari (ball), 瑠璃 ruri (lapis lazuli), and possibly rill (a small river or brook). It may also be derived from マリンブルー marine blue, an old name for navy blue.
