I remember in emerald azumaril was my hm slave. I always wanted to make it viable in battle, but having huge power without any special moves and 50 base attack stats was pain.
It was one of the first pokemon I bred in X for competitive purposes.
However, almost two months after release I already got sick of everyone using it in battles. It was no longer my bromon once everyone was exploiting for its belly drum and uge power gimmicks.

Rayquaza is similar, it was a pretty crap uber until it became the most overpowered pokemon in the game. Now I would feel ashamed if I used it, even though it was one of my favourite pokemon.

I hate when this crap happens.

Blame Gamefreak for giving us a shallow number of good physical fairies.

Could somebody please give me a crash course on how to use Azumarill this way?

He's one of my favourite Pokemon, and a litle while ago a friend of mine bred a "Competitive-Ready" one for me cause he's just a cool dude like that.

It has an Adamant nature and knows Belly Drum and Aqua Jet, and that's really all I know. I don't battle online or even really know very much about the Metagame. How do I battle with this little guy?
I'm worried that using belly Drum as my opening move will just result in instant death on Turn 1 thanks to cutting my HP totally in half. How does battling with Azumarill work?

If your this worried about Belly Drum failing most of the time run nothing but attacking moves and give it a Choice Band or Assault Vest. Azumarill is a very good user of those items. You can also run Leftovers with Substitute and Focus Punch just for shits and giggles. Its gimmicky as fuck but satisfiying when pulled off.

Azu runs two different sets - AV or BerryDrum.

Regardless of the set, Aqua Jet and Play Rough are staples, as well as an Adamant nature with full Attack EV investment. The remaining two moves come down to your set of preference - Assault Vest Azu likes to be bulky (so you'd want to invest mostly in HP, but perhaps also a little in Speed so you can speed creep certain Pokemon), and will typically run Knock Off and Waterfall. BerryDrum utilizes Sitrus Berry and is more concerned with outspeeding certain Pokemon that would normally threaten it (so you'd want to invest in quite a bit of speed, though HP investment is still advised). Obviously, BerryDrum set will utilize Belly Drum as your third move and you can choose to run either Knock Off/Waterfall/Superpower for your last slot. Superpower is good for the power, but its usefulness depends on the situation (it also drops your Attack and Defense; not good if you intend to sweep with it). Really, play around with it while teambuilding and see which set works better.

It was a retarded addition in the first place. Pokemon was better off before they added it in. Bad changes should be removed in the sequels like they are in other franchises.

I think reactions to marill were pretty positive after the first movie short as well. Not saying it's the main reason but It can't have hurt. So many fanfavourite arguable shitmons got so much love. Charizard being the obvious example mawile and sabeleye etc.

Yes I'm sure you loved the mawile/sableye you used in your rse playthrough but both were pretty much arse

True, I loved Sableye in emerald (the only one I played from the 3), but it was kinda shit.

Also, Azumarill is a cute pokemon that can also look badass sometimes. Those are pretty much the reasons Pikachu is pokemon's mascot and ash's partner.

Yeah I really like the designs of RSE as a whole, it's a shame so many were from the same gen and inevitably somebody has to be the shitmons. I really feel like delcatty should have been a lot better. Sabeleye and Mawile had at that point, pretty incredible typings to support their poor stats. But I mean come on who's gonna use a moonstone for that.
