National Dex Monotype Azumarill (Fairy) [QC 2/2] [GP 0/1]

[Swiffix]

[SET]
Azumarill @ Normalium Z
Name: Z-Belly Drum (Fairy)
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Knock Off
- Liquidation / Return


[SET COMMENTS]
Azumarill's presence is greatly appreciated on Fairy-type teams, where it tends to be the Z-crystal user of choice and a good answer to the Fire, Ground, Rock, Poison and Steel matchups. Z-Belly Drum guarantees a +6 boost to Azumarill's already impressive Attack, turning it into a redoubtable setup sweeper with access to priority, and it can even offer a second setup opportunity if Azumarill gets forced out with its Z-move unused. Aqua Jet is Azumarill's answer to threats that outspeed it, such as Volcarona, Tapu Koko, and Nidoking. Aside from dealing with Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Slowbro, and Sinistcha, Knock Off is Azumarill's best coverage option against walls that resist its other attacks, such as Ferrothorn, Toxapex and Water Absorb Clodsire. Liquidation could be used as a stronger STAB option for slower foes like Iron Hands, Ting-Lu, and Celesteela, but Breakneck Blitz coming off Return beats Mega Venusaur as well as Icium Z Toxapex which doesn't fear Knock Off. Ice Spinner is an alternative that can be used to defeat both Ting-Lu and Mega Venusaur after some chip, along with getting rid of Psychic Terrain to allow for Aqua Jet to be used again. Klefki is an amazing partner for Azumarill, offering a Poison-type immunity and dual screen support to ease its set-up and spreading Spikes to chip the opposing team. Mega Diancie helps in the Fire and Flying matchups and provides hazard control, contributing to keeping Azumarill healthy as well as providing Stealth Rock to help Azumarill's wallbreaking. Tapu Koko deals with Water-types such as Pelipper and Toxapex, making Azumarill's sweep easier down the line and Steel- and Flying-types like Celesteela and Corviknight should Azumarill opt for Return. Tapu Bulu also aids in the Water and Electric matchup, handling foes like Quagsire and Rotom-W which Azumarill can struggle to bring down. Iron Valiant deals with most Fighting-types and, when paired with Tapu Koko, outspeeds and defeats faster foes such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Swampert under rain, but it competes with Azumarill for a Z-crystal. Tapu Lele handles Poison-types like Mega Venusaur and Clodsire, but be cautious of Psychic Terrain preventing Azumarill from using Aqua Jet. Babiri Berry Clefable can be used as an alternative to Tapu Lele for checking Scizor, and it also handles Mega Venusaur well as it can use it as setup fodder.

Azumarill's presence is greatly appreciated on Fairy-type teams, where it tends to be the Z-crystal user of choice and a good answer to the Fire, Ground, Rock, (Poison?) and Steel matchups. Z-Belly Drum guarantees a +6 boost to Azumarill's already impressive Attack, turning it into a redoubtable setup sweeper with access to priority, and it can even offer a second setup opportunity if Azumarill gets forced out with its Z-move unused (it also lets it setup even if weakened [eg. surviving Thundurus' Tbolt behind screens, then Drummin even though that should've been illegal D:]). Aqua Jet is Azumarill's answer to threats that outspeed it, such as Volcarona, Tapu Koko, and Nidoking. Aside from dealing with Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Gholdengo, Slowbro, and Aegislash, Knock Off is Azumarill's best coverage option against walls that resist its other attacks, such as Celesteela (Doesnt resist), Ferrothorn, Clodsire, and Toxapex. Liquidation could be used as a stronger STAB option for slower foes like Iron Hands, Ting-Lu, Mandibuzz, and Skarmory (or Celes, you dont kill either with Knock jolly) Porygon2, but Return beats Mega Venusaur (+6 252 Atk Huge Power Azumarill Breakneck Blitz (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Venusaur-Mega: 485-571 (133.2 - 156.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO, Plain return with Jolly doesnt kill, Adamant gets outspeeded. Its also the best move for Icium Pex, who otherwise eats Knocky)who otherwise threatens Azumarill, even after Belly Drum. Ice Spinner is an alternative that can be used to defeat both Ting-Lu and Mega Venusaur (+6 252 Atk Huge Power Azumarill Ice Spinner vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Thick Fat Venusaur-Mega: 244-288 (67 - 79.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO; Thick Fat) at once, along wish getting rid of Psychic Terrain to allow for Aqua Jet to be used again. Klefki is an amazing partner for Azumarill, offering a Poison-type immunity and dual screen support to ease its set-up and spreading Spikes to chip the opposing team. Mega Diancie helps in the Fire and Flying matchups and provides hazard control, contributing to keeping Azumarill healthy. Tapu Koko deals with Water-types such as Pelipper and Toxapex, making Azumarill's sweep easier down the line. Tapu Bulu also aids in the Water and Electric matchup, handling foes like Quagsire and Rotom-W which Azumarill can struggle to bring down. Iron Valiant deals with most Fighting-types and, when paired with Tapu Koko, outspeeds and defeats faster foes such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Swampert under rain (Valiant competes for a Z-slot, so its unlikely to be paired with Azu). Tapu Lele handles Poison-types like Mega Venusaur and Clodsire, but be cautious of Psychic Terrain preventing Azumarill from using Aqua Jet. (clef is an alternative to Lele as it can check M.Sciz w/ babiri + deals with M.Ven as it sets up on it)

Azumarill's presence is greatly appreciated on Fairy-type Fairy teams (this is an approved term for mono), where it tends to be the Z-crystal Z-Crystal user of choice and a good answer to the Fire, Ground, Rock, Poison and Steel matchups. Z-Belly Drum guarantees a +6 boost to Azumarill's already impressive Attack, turning it into a redoubtable setup sweeper with access to priority, and it can even offer a second setup opportunity if Azumarill gets forced out with its Z-move Z-Move unused. (this sentence here basically implies youre always gong to be using the z to set up, but later sentences talk about breakneck blitz. for the bd sentence it would be good to talk about regular non z bd and when z bd is better) Aqua Jet is Azumarill's answer to threats that outspeed it, such as Volcarona, Tapu Koko, and Nidoking. Aside from dealing with Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Slowbro, and Sinistcha, Knock Off is Azumarill's best coverage option against walls that resist its other attacks, such as Ferrothorn, Toxapex and Water Absorb Clodsire. Liquidation could be used as a stronger STAB option for slower foes like Iron Hands, Ting-Lu, and Celesteela, but Breakneck Blitz coming off Return beats Mega Venusaur as well as Icium Z Toxapex, (AC) which doesn't fear Knock Off. (this sentence doesn't really match what the set is saying - it reads like return / z return is better than liquid but slashing does not match tha. would be good to rephrase to highlight why z return is worse) Ice Spinner is an alternative that can be used to defeat both Ting-Lu and Mega Venusaur after some chip, along with getting rid of Psychic Terrain to allow for Aqua Jet to be used again without being blocked. Klefki is an amazing partner for Azumarill, offering a Poison-type Poison immunity and dual screens support to ease its set-up setup and spreading Spikes to chip the opposing team. Mega Diancie helps in the Fire and Flying matchups and provides entry hazard control, contributing to keeping Azumarill healthy as well as providing Stealth Rock to help Azumarill's its wallbreaking. Tapu Koko deals with Water-types such as Pelipper and Toxapex, making Azumarill's sweep easier down the line, (AC) and it also handles Steel- and Flying-types like Celesteela and Corviknight should Azumarill opt for Return. Tapu Bulu also aids in the Water and Electric matchup, handling foes like Quagsire and Rotom-W which that Azumarill can struggle to bring down. Iron Valiant deals with most Fighting-types and, when paired with Tapu Koko, outspeeds and defeats faster foes such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Swampert under rain, but it competes with Azumarill for a Z-crystal Z-Crystal. Tapu Lele handles Poison-types like Mega Venusaur and Clodsire, but be cautious of Psychic Terrain preventing Azumarill from using Aqua Jet. Babiri Berry Clefable can be used as an alternative to Tapu Lele for checking Scizor, and it also handles Mega Venusaur well, (AC) as it can use it as setup fodder.
