Azumarill is a Water and Fairy Type Pokemon.

If you’ve been delving into the world of Tera Raids and have reached the point of taking on the challenging 5 and 6 Star Tera Raids, you may realize just how much more strategy comes into play. More importantly, you may notice that clearing these Offline with the AI is incredibly challenging, to the point of almost impossible. Even Online can be challenging if your teammates choose Pokémon that are not ideal, but that’s where this Azumarill Tera Raid build comes in handy.

Azumarill is a particularly strong choice versus Charizard in the Black Crystal Tera Raid Event.

Azumarill Tera Raid Build¶

Now that you have Azumarill , what is it about this Pokémon that has the Pokémon community go wild for him? These are main moves you’ll want to make note of:

• Play Rough
• Superpower
• Belly Drum
• Liquidation

Play Rough is a Fairy-type move that inflicts damage and has a chance to lower the target’s Attack stat by 1 stage. Superpower will lower the opposition’s Attack and Defense stats by 1 stage. Belly Drum is a move that increases the user’s Attack stat to the maximum amount (6 stages), at the cost of halving their HP. Finally, Liquidation has a 20% chance to lower the opposition’s Defense by one stage. All of the aformentioned attacks from a solid base for our Azumarill Tera Raid Build.

Once you’ve acquired the above attacks, you’ll want to start the battle with Belly Drum to increase your attack power, then follow it up with Liquidation and Play Rough. This is a really good strategy against Dragon-type Pokemon, so it’ll be a good option for the Charizard Event on the 2nd of December.

How to Teach Azumarill Superpower and Play Rough¶

Unlike Belly Drum, Superpower and Play Rough are both attacks that can be taught to Azumaril by leveling up. In order to learn Play Rough you’ll need to reach Level 25 and for Superpower you’ll need to reach Level 50. Both Superpower and Play Rough are physical attacks and marry up nicely with Azumarills naturally high Attack stat, which will go through the roof once trainers throw Belly Drum into their Azumarill Tera Raid Build.

How to Teach Azumarill Belly Drum¶

Unfortunately, Azumarill can’t learn Belly Drum via leveling up nor is there Belly Drum TM to be found in the open world, so you’ll need to visit the Delibird Presents Store in Cascarrafa City and purchase the Mirror Herb for 30,000 Poke Dollars. Next up, you’ll need find and capture several Hariyama which can be found in West Province Area 2 until you find one that has the Belly Drum Attack.

Once you’ve done that, remove all the Pokemon from your Team aside from Azumarill and Hariyama, then remove one attack from Azumarill. Finally, participate in a picnic and Azumaril should automatically learn Belly Drum, which is arguably the most important move in our Azumarill Tera Raid Build.

How to Teach Azumarill Liquidation¶

Liquidation is a TM you can find out in the open-world. It can be found in several locations, but the easiest place to find it is on Glaseado Mountain. That’s 20% chance of lowering a targets defence may make the difference between beating and loosing a Tera Raid.

How to Catch Azumarill¶

If you haven’t yet caught yourself a Azumarill, then you’ll want to make a trip up to Casseroya Lake as it can be found roaming around on the outer edge of the lake, however, its a rare spawn, so you may need to run about for a while until one comes up. Azumarill’s can also be found in the water, so if you’ve unlocked the swimming travel ability via defeating Bombirdier, the Open Sky Titan, then have a swim about to see if you can find it there.

Azumarill is a Water and Fairy Type, so it’s extremely weak to Grass and Electric and will take 2x damage from them, so you want to use those Pokemon Types which are slightly above its level to lower its health before attempting to catch it. Additionally, the level range of Casseroya Lakes Pokemon is around 49-55, so you’ll want to make sure your team is leveled up and you have enough Hyper Potions to bring along.
