Does Sitrus Berry activate right on 50% or when you dip below 50? If it's the former then I think it's definitely the item of choice on the drummer. I don't think Mystic Water or Life Orb makes up for being unable to be revenged by Scizor or Talonflame imo.
Scizor's bullet punch is super effective against fairy type, even with priority aqua jet scizor outspeeds azumarill and will land 2 hits even if Azumarill doesnt belly drum. My question is there an EV spread that will allow Azumarill to take these hits and reply with a superpower?
Also can anyone confirm whether or not sitrus berry will activate when belly drum is used? Seems to be a common question that I have as well
Many Scizor have not run any Speed EVs in Gen V, so if that doesn't change Azumarill can put 124 EVs into Speed to OHKO Scizor with a +6 Aqua Jet before it lands a second Bullet Punch
And unless it was changed, Sitrus Berry would activate at 25% HP. Gluttony allows it to be used at 50% HP
Also if Azumarill is at +6 attack that means it would have belly drummed, and on that turn scizor will have already used a bullet punch, meaning that Azumarill cannot take a bullet punch and Belly Drum on the same turn I'm pretty sure. You're right though, that if scizor were to be switched into azumarill and azumarill has the 124 speed EV's then it would land the aqua jet. Would it be a OHKO though? Scizor is pretty beefy
252+ Atk Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 128 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 130-154 (34.85 - 41.28%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Iron Plate Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 128 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 156-184 (41.82 - 49.32%) -- 28.13% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 128 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 169-200 (45.3 - 53.61%) -- 94.92% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 128 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 195-229 (52.27 - 61.39%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
Scizor needs Iron Plate and full Attack investment to even consider the possibility of not allowing Azumarill to Belly Drum. If it has to switch in or it lacks a boosting item... good luck with that
+6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 318-375 (92.44 - 109.01%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
+6 252+ Atk Mystic Water Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 381-448 (110.75 - 130.23%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Actually not :P
I made Azumarill Water/Rock to make Steel neutral
Superpower is probably a bad idea on a boosting set. The more Azumarill uses it, the harder of a time it has OHKOing with Aqua Jet.

252 SpA Alakazam Energy Ball (90 BP) vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 162-192 (40.09 - 47.52%) -- guaranteed 3HKOhave we talked about the how much damage azu would take from energy ball from zam while wearing tac vest?
ah thank you for the correction.... I don't know where that cane from. But a there hit k.o. Is way more than enough to handle handle zam. I still do not think it is better than mystic water tho... But then again it depends on what your playing252 SpA Alakazam Energy Ball (90 BP) vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 162-192 (40.09 - 47.52%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
By the way, it's "Assault Vest", not "Tactical Vest".
My perfect Marill hatched today, Adamant with 31IVs in the six stats. (and Huge Power ofc)
At the moment, he's lvl56 and I start to play with him with that set:
Azumarill@Splash Plate
Adamant
132HP/252Atk/124Speed
-Belly drum
-Aqua-Jet
-Rough Play
-Superpower
That's really cool when I have to use Aqua-Jet or Rough Play but it don't work well when I have to use Superpower.
What can I use instead of that move? Must I choose Waterfall?
