Trivia

 * Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all Normal- and Pokémon.
 * Azurill is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 190.
 * With Huge Power, Azurill can reach the highest Attack stat of all Baby Pokémon, capping at a maximum of 304.
 * Polka dots are known in Japan as 水玉 mizutama, literally meaning water balls. This might explain why Azurill is known as the Polka Dot Pokémon.
 * This name also reflects the way Azurill is indirectly related with Water.
 * Prior to Generation VI, because Azurill's gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms and its evolution is not dependent on gender, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time, female Azurill has a 1/3 chance of evolving into a male Marill (depending on its personality value). Azurill is the only Pokémon to do this. From Generation VI on, Azurill retains its gender upon evolving, despite the gender ratios still differing.
 * Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all baby Pokémon.
 * Azurill is the only Pokémon which evolves through friendship whose evolved form evolves by level.
 * Azurill is the shortest Pokémon.

Origin
Azurill appears to be a combined with a  or possibly a  or. The idea of Azurill storing nutrients in its tail may come from the mouse-like ; this marsupial's carrot-shaped tail stores nutrition in the form of fat for times of scarcity.

Name origin
Azurill is a combination of  (a shade of blue) or azul (Spanish and Portuguese for blue) and rill (a small river or brook). Its name may also be derived from its evolutions, Marill and Azumarill.

Ruriri may be a corruption of 瑠璃 ruri which is theoretically in 's—its evolution—name, or it may be a variation of  (a blue rock).
