Marill is a water type Pokémon that evolves from Azurill and into Azumarill. At first, many thought it was related to Pikachu and named it Pikablu. This, however, is not the case.

Pokédex Definition
Marill's tail floats like a buoy because it is filled with oil, which is less dense than water. Its fur is impermeable, which keeps it dry.
When fishing in the water, Marill wraps its tail around a tree. Since the tail is stretchy and flexible, it allows the Pokémon to get food and still stay safely anchored to the tree.
Availability
In Johto, Marill can be found in Mt. Mortar, where there is a lot of water. It is very rare.
In Hoenn, Marill is far more common. It can be found near or in practically any body of fresh water.
Name Origin
Marill's name possibly derives from the words "marine" and "rill". A rill is a small river.
In the Anime
In the Pokémon Anime, Tracey (http://www.geocities.com/pokemontours2/indexes/people/tracey.htm), the Pokémon Observer from the Orange Islands, had a Marill which he used on multiple occasions.
There is also an episode in the new Johto episodes in which Ash and friends encounter a baby Marill that has been separated from its Trainer. When Team Rocket tries (again) to steal Pikachu, Misty, Pikachu, and Marill get separated from Ash and Brock. Misty, though she constantly denies it due to this Marill's tendency to cry over everything, obviously loves the little Pokemon.
