    Pok\u00e9mon Unite Azumarill Gameplay Tips<\/h2>\n

    Our Pok\u00e9mon Unite Azumarill guide includes the perfect game plan for the\u00a0early and late game\u00a0<\/strong>during the\u00a0Unite battles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Early Game<\/h3>\n

    In the early game, Azumarils\u2019 primary objective is to play aggressively and wither down opponents in one-on-one fights and take as many wild Pok\u00e9mon as possible. Because of this, Azumarill should be able to stack up some kills and win lane, letting players snowball into the late game. In the lane, one should be able to fight one-on-one against the most opposing Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, players must make sure to take advantage of any opportunities and punish opponents, when possible. During the early game, the partner in the lane is usually a Support. Players must make sure to communicate to the partner in the lane what plays they wish to make.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Pok\u00e9mon

    For example, if players see an enemy disposition, they must make sure to communicate to the teammate to play aggressively. Once\u00a0Drednaw spawns<\/strong>, one should be around level 7 and fully evolved. With the achievement of levels 7-8, Azumarill reaches its highest power spike where they should attempt to fight for Drednaw if they\u2019re ahead.<\/p>\n

    Late Game<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \"Pok\u00e9mon
    Image via The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    By the late game, one should have a level lead from making aggressive early-game plays. Players should try to use this level, leading to carry the rest of the team ahead. Like all other characters, securing Zapdos with the team is a necessity. Once Zapdos spawns, Azumarill should try to stay out of the vision of the enemy team. In this way, players will be able to pick out a single enemy at a time.<\/p>\n

    Positioning of Azumarill<\/h3>\n

    Being an all-rounder, Azumarill is primarily played in the bottom lane with a supporting Pok\u00e9mon. However, Azumarill can also be played in the center lane, because of the great amount of damage Azumarill does to isolated Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

    Because all-rounders have a balance between offense and defense, players must make sure to position themselves in front of their allies to protect them or stay behind them, instead, if they need to deal lots of damage while receiving little in return.<\/p>\n

    Azumarill specializes in one-on-one fights, so players should try to use their high mobility in teamfights to move around the opposing team and single out an enemy target. With Azumarill, one should prioritize taking out lower health or weaker enemies, because Azumarill is able to chase after almost any character to commit to attacking and knocking them out without taking too much damage as a result.<\/p>\n

    Blissey<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nBlissey is one of the strongest characters to pair with Azumarill.

All these buffs that Blissey Provides make Azumarill an unkillable 1v5-ing monster that can beat almost any opposing Pok\u00e9mon in a fight.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Eldegoss<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nEldegoss is another supporter that goes well with Azumarill, because of the healing and shielding provided. Azumarill needs large amounts of health to play aggressively. Eldegoss enables Azumarill to constantly pressure the enemy team with abilities and wipe out entire teams, one Pok\u00e9mon at a time, due to the high amounts of health regeneration and shields provided.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Wigglytuff<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nWigglytuff goes well with Azumarill thanks to their high defenses and great crowd control abilities. Wigglytuff\u2019s Unite move Starlight Recital goes especially well with Azumarill as the large shield given allows Azumarill to make aggressive plays and engage in difficult fights without losing much.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Snorlax<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nSnorlax offers a large amount of crowd control through the use of abilities such as \u201cHeavy Slam\u201d and \u201cBlock\u201d, both abilities can make the opposing Pok\u00e9mon unable to move or displace them. This Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s abilities are beneficial to Azumarill as it allows the Pok\u00e9mon to single them out and kill them with ease<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

    4. Azumarill needs to always be on the lookout for surprise attacks while also using their high mobility to make lots of early game plays around the map. Map awareness is crucial when playing Azumarill.<\/li>\n
