Eovon (Pokémon)

**Marill** (Japanese: **マリル** *Maril*) is a dual-type Template:2t Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was 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 belly, and has round ears with red insides. These sensitive ears can detect distant sounds. Its arms and feet are short and possess no visible digits. There is a blue, bubble-like ball at the tip of its zigzagging black tail. The tail is flexible and configured to stretch, and the ball is full of oil that acts as a buoy to help keep Marill afloat. The ball at the tip of its tail can glow when Marill attacks. 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. Marill never gets cold after swimming in cold water, due to its water-repellent fur drying up quickly the moment it leaves the water. It lives on the Template:DL.

## Trivia

 File:Alpha mariru.png  * 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

## Eovon (Pokémon)

, 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 is tied with Togepi and Azurill for having the lowest base Template:Stat of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
	+ In addition, Marill and Azurill both have the lowest base Template:Stat of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
* Because Azurill's gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms and its evolution is not dependent on gender, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time, female Azurill have a one in three chance of evolving into a male Marill prior to Generation VI. Whether or not this will happen is determined by its personality value. Azurill is the only Pokémon to do this.
* Marill's name was originally spelled **Marril**, as shown in some merchandise for the first movie.
* Marill is the only Pokémon that evolves from a baby Pokémon and has a level requirement for evolving further.

### Origin

Marill may be based on a combination of a Template:Wp and a Template:Wp or possibly a Template:Wp or Template:Wp. Its body and ears also resemble a Template:Wp.

It may be based on the Template:Wp (*Hydromys chrysogaster*), who are said to live in burrows on the banks of rivers, lakes, and estuaries, and are commonly known as Template:Wps.

#### Name origin

Marill and Maril may be a combination of 丸い *marui* (*round* or *circular*) or 鞠 *mari* (ball), 瑠璃 *ruri* (Template:Wp), 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 Template:Wp.
