Uses for Azumarill?
So with the ubiquitousness of Marill during the water event (like cute street corner hustlers), what uses have y'all found for Azumarill?
They have interesting typing: water and fairy. It's handicapped by low max CP of 1503, so it looks like it would serve best to be a prestiger. It has some pretty good resistances in the current gym meta (dragon, water) and some less useful ones (fighting, bug, fire, ice, dark).
GP rates its general usefulness as a 4/10.
With a fairy charge move (since there is no fairy quick move yet), does that leave it's only real niche as a prestiger against dragonite -- if that?

To get max prestige points, I am usually underpowered if the first mons are considerably lower than the upper Nites. Honestly, though, as a solo player on the minority team, it's getting harder and harder to find non-Level 10 gyms around anyway. Gyms either belong to the other team or are already Level 10.
Solid CP and defense stats allows Azumarill to be a good prestiger, epecially if you encounter low-CP (like 1800-2200 CP) mon in gyms and want to get a full +1000 prestige
Counters Dragonite (obviously) and fire-types (if you see ones in gyms)
I think it's good to keep one with B/HP or B/PR for such specific cases
Yes there is quite a close relationship but it's not proportional.
Compared to original games:
Base HP in Pogo is the same
Base Attack in Pogo is a combo of Base Attack, Base Special Attack and to a lesser extent Base Speed (iirc) from original
Base Defense in Pogo is a combo of Base Defence and Base Special Defense from original
Sorry I can't find the link to where this is explained on this site. Wasted 5 mins trying to find it grrrr.
The CP changes after some updates has been due to the changing of how the stats from the original games are interpreted into the more compact/simplified PoGO stats.
