One of the first Johto-mons and a Pikachu clone, has no presence in the modern era.

Azumarill is a standard Tera Raid Pokemon, dumbass.

The only reason Marill isn't one of the most popular johto mons was because it was nearly impossible to catch in its debut generation. It was Zoroark before Zoroark where it was shilled super hard only for it to be nearly unobtainable.

t. spent hours trying to catch one in 2000

Marill had a 1% catch rate in GS unless you trigger the swarm. By the time Crystal released with a higher encounter rate, it was already too late.

Fucking what? All pikaclones are Electric type. Marill isn't Electric type. Why do you want Marill to be a pikaclone so bad?

Both it and Azumarill needed higher stats. Azumarill should have been a cool evo instead of an ugly egg shaped thing that could have been an alternative evo of Togepi.

I think a lot of people used one in BW2, since you get it early and it becomes very strong very fast.

Everyone who played SV, retard. Azumarill and Iron Hands are universal stock raidmons that normalfags turn to instead of specific ones. That's their claim to fame.

It's less so of people wanting Marill to be a Pika clone, and more so that Marill was obviously meant to be a clone of Pikachu.

>>58197032
Used Azu in my BW2 playthrough and I can attest. Huge Power still makes Azu strong regardless of E.V. training. Just make sure to get a Marill with an ATK nature.

I only encountered one as a kid because in my Nintendo Power magazine I read a tip about a fisherman that'll call you if a ton of Marill are spawning. A really cool mechanic that never came back for some reason.

Even with the inclusion of Togepi and Ho-Oh in the anime, the moment that Gen 2 became "real" to me was when Donphan was just raw revealed at the beginning of the First Movie.

Azumari;l has way above average presence compared to loads of johto mons.
When was the last time you saw somebody use a Sudowoodo, Ledyba or even Heracross?
Azumarill still has a solid niche with belly drum/aqua jet and great typing and abilities.

Donphan was one of the first four gen 2 Pokemon revealed, it was revealed alongside Ho-oh before the anime even premiered.

Azumarill and it's near unfindability dampened the hype generated by the pikachu short and Marill faded out of public attention.

It didn't help any that he became super common in gens 3 and 5
If he had been rare, he could at least have had some mystique
Instead anyone too young to remember the Pikablu rumors probably thinks he's a Hoennmon

There isn’t a single johto Pokémon that’s isn’t forgotten or a punchline. It’s the most mishandled group of Pokémon. Either it was intentional sabotage out of spite, or game freak magically loses their brain cells and forgets how to promote thing when Gen2 is involved

Yeah lets stop this. This is like calling the Legendary Beasts the "Legendary Dogs" despite a clear lack of canid traits across them. They're closer to big cats, if anything.

Espeon and Umbreon are the only highlights of Gen 2 that still matter to this day thanks to how much they contributed to the uber-popularity of the Eeveelution collective. Anyone else that could be named is completely fucking irrelevant.
