Azumarill is Pokédex #184, generation 2 (Johto). Azumarill is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 35. The card says it evolves from Marill. In this catalog that name is Marill (#183).

Azumarill sits at 18/130 in Diamond & Pearl, position 18 of 130. Before it is 17 Torterra, and after it is 19 Beautifly. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2007. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Defense Curl lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all damage done to Azumarill during your opponent's next turn. Bubble Pump is another attack lists 40+ damage. The cost is Water, Water. If Azumarill has 3 or more Energy attached to it, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage. If Azurill is anywhere under Azumarill, flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Lightning +20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It lives in rivers and lakes. In water, its coloring and patterns trick the vision of foes."

Azumarill (#184) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Azumarill 2/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 18 other cards of Azumarill list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Diamond & Pearl set binder is where a full Diamond & Pearl set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Azumarill can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
