Overview |
Marill can be found swimming in various bodies of freshwater as also well as frolicking on lakeshores and riversides. Their spherical tails contain an oil that is less dense than water. They act as buoys when Marill swim, helping them stay afloat even in the roughest currents. The amount of oil in their tails can be regulated to allow the Pokémon to swim at varying depths. Marill feed on algae and small fish at the bottoms of their habitats. Their tails can be seen floating above the surface in shallower bodies of water. Their fur is water-repellant, allowing them to swim with little resistance and therefore with high speed. Their tails are very flexible and stretchy, and their buoys can contract and expand at will. When fishing, these Pokémon will wrap their tails tightly around nearby trees and leap into the rushing rapids of rivers. After nabbing fish, Marill will pull themselves back onto land with their springy tails. Their ears are highly developed and can pick up minute sounds both above and below the the surface of the water.
