Sap sipper or thick fat for defensive Azumarill?

Question

I would like to put defensive Azumarill on my competitive team but I can't figure out what ability I want it to have sap sipper or thick fat.I also can't figure out a moveset could someone please help me?

Answer 1

I would highly recommend Sap Sipper over Thick Fat. Water-types already have resistances to Fire and Water. Sap Sipper neutralizes one of its weaknesses and renders attacks like Spore and Sleep Powder useless. It also buffs Azu's Attack, which is found wanting for lack of Huge Power.

Thanks for your help

No problem.

Answer 2

The best choice is the ability sap sipper because that takes in grass type moves, which are super effective against water types and makes them unable to harm the Pokemon (w/ grass type moves), while the thick fat boosts Azumarill's defense against fire type moves and ice type moves, which (At least fire types) are not effective against water types, so that ability for Azumarill is not necessary because it is already effective against those types.
