Marill (Japanese: マリル, Hepburn: Maril) is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise, and the evolved form of Azurill. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Gold and Silver, they later appeared in Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise.
Marill was originally classified as a Water-type Pokémon, going on to be given an additional type of Fairy in Pokémon X and Y as part of a reclassification of multiple Pokémon with the introduction of this new type. Marill is a round blue mouse with a white belly, a zigzagging tail and blue ball located on the end of it, and round ears. It was originally the first stage of a species line that evolves into the Pokémon Azumarill, until it was given a baby form in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire called Azurill. Marill was the subject of many rumors before the release of Gold and Silver due to being one of the first Pokémon revealed, identified as a PokéGod and nicknamed Pikablu by fans due to its apparent similarities to series mascot Pikachu.
