Azumarill’s best moveset in Pokemon Go

The best moveset for Azumarill is to go with Bubble as a Fast Move, and Play Rough and Ice Beam as Charged Moves.

Bubble makes sense for several reasons. One, it’s a Water-type move that Azumarill can get a same type attack bonus (STAB). Second, Bubble has a high EPS that can help transition into a Charged Move.

Play Rough also gets a STAB bonus since Azumarill is also a Fairy-type, while Ice Beam grants coverage in matchups against Dragon and Flying-type Pokemon.

Here are all the moves that Azumarill can learn in Pokemon Go:

Fast Moves

• Bubble (Water)
• Rock Smash (Fighting)

Charged Moves

Is Azumarill any good in Pokemon Go?

Azumarill is a strong choice in Great League PvP action in Pokemon Go, and it’s actually been a meta-relevant Pokemon for quite some time. PvPoke ranked XL Azumarill at #14 in the Great League as of December 2023.

Aside from Mantine, Swampert, Lanturn, and Quagsire, there’s arguably not a better Water-type Pokemon for the Great League format than Azumarill.

However, Azumarill gets significantly overpowered in the Ultra League.
