How to Teach Your Azumarill the Belly Drum Move in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Azumarill is a top-notch choice for Tera Raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Its Huge Power Ability and Belly Drum move make it a powerhouse. Belly Drum boosts Azumarill’s Attack but cuts its HP in half. This setup lets it crush raid bosses fast. Azumarill shines in tough raids like the Unrivaled Charizard Tera Raid.

Teaching Azumarill Belly Drum isn’t simple. You can’t just use a TM or level it up. You need different tactics.

Mirror Herb method

The fastest way to teach Belly Drum is with a Mirror Herb. Here’s how:
– Buy a Mirror Herb for 30,000 PokéDollars at Delibird Presents in Cascarrafa.
– Find a Pokémon that knows Belly Drum. Hariyama learns it at level 26.
– Give the Mirror Herb to Azumarill. Don’t use Azumarill in battle now, or you might lose the item.
– Change Azumarill’s moves so there’s space for a new one.
– Keep only Hariyama and Azumarill in your party. Store others in boxes.
– Have a picnic with them. Afterward, Azumarill will know Belly Drum.

Breeding method

Breeding to teach Belly Drum isn’t easy. Only Eiscue can breed with Azumarill to pass on Belly Drum, and it’s only in Violet. Eiscue must learn Belly Drum from another Pokémon through breeding first. Hatch a male Eiscue with Belly Drum, then breed it with a female Azumarill. The result? A baby Azurill that knows Belly Drum.

Despite this option, we suggest using the Mirror Herb. It’s much quicker.

Azumarill’s ability to smash through raids with Belly Drum makes it a valuable team member. Whether you choose the Mirror Herb or breeding, getting Belly Drum on Azumarill can turn the tide of challenging raids in your favor.
