Flavor Text
The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.
The end of its tail serves as a buoy that keeps it from drowning, even in a vicious current.
The fur on its body naturally repels water. It can stay dry, even when it plays in the water.
Marill's oil-filled tail acts much like a life preserver. If you see just its tail bobbing on the water's surface, it's a sure indication that this Pokémon is diving beneath the water to feed on aquatic plants.
When fishing for food at the edge of a fast-running stream, Marill wraps its tail around the trunk of a tree. This Pokémon's tail is flexible and configured to stretch.
Its body is covered with water-repellant fur. Because of the fur, it can swim through water at high speed without being slowed by the water's resistance.
Using its tail as a float, it dives underwater. It likes eating plants that grow on river bottoms.
The tip of its tail is filled with oil that is lighter than water, so it acts as a float.
