Generation IV identity and base stats

Marill is Sinnoh #125 and National #183. Its Platinum typing is Water. The stats below describe its standard Platinum form on the original Nintendo DS cartridge. Later Fairy typing, stat buffs and Hidden Abilities are excluded.

The existing Platinum sprite shows its standard Platinum form; gender, cloak or alternate forms can have different appearances.

Marill Generation IV base stats
Stat	Base value
HP	70
Attack	20
Defense	50
Sp. Atk	20
Sp. Def	50
Speed	40
Total	250

Where to obtain it in Platinum

Check the location, method and conditions before travelling. A gift, trade, Honey Tree, daily replacement or stationary interaction is different from ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching documented encounter slots.

These records are filtered to Platinum. Time, Poké Radar, swarm, GBA insertion, daily and story conditions remain separate. Postgame areas require their story access; no listed area is promised to be open on a fresh save.

Evolution family and Generation IV requirements

Marill regional evolution family
From	Into	Platinum method
Azurill	Marill	Level up with friendship of at least 220 (Generation IV)
Marill	Azumarill	Level 18

Friendship evolution uses the original threshold of 220. Held-item trades need a compatible second game and system. Platinum uses special rocks, Mt. Coronet magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and Beauty rather than later replacement methods.

Original abilities, breeding and training

Marill Generation IV ability slots
Ability	Original slot
Thick Fat	Regular ability slot 1
Huge Power	Regular ability slot 2

Hidden Abilities did not exist in Generation IV. The table restores original ability slots where a species changed in later games; an ability’s modern behavior must not be assumed to match Platinum.

Marill breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Water 1 / Fairy
Base hatch cycles	10
Experience growth	Fast
Base capture rate	190 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Hp +2

The Solaceon Town Day Care supports breeding before the League. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Some baby forms require the matching incense on a parent, while trade evolutions still need the trade rather than only a Day Care level.

Platinum level-up moves

15	Rollout
18	BubbleBeam
23	Aqua Ring

Every row uses the Platinum version group. Level 1 moves include starting and reminder moves; a later caught specimen need not already know every entry. Evolution timing affects which stage learns a move. Pastoria’s Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Platinum TMs are single-use: teaching one consumes that copy. HMs are reusable and require the Move Deleter to be forgotten. Defog is HM05 and Rock Climb is HM08; these are the Generation IV field moves, with their own badge requirements.

FIELD NOTE

Use Marill’s exact Platinum method and condition. Daily encounters, counterpart-game species, original evolution rules and external Egg requirements need separate collection plans.
