Marill is a water and fairy-type Pokémon that evolves into Azumarill, which was introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver as a number of Gen 2. During this time it was a pure water-type Pokémon, with the fairy-type being added when Gen 6.
This was not, however, the first major change that Marill experienced, which was the introduction of Azurill, the baby Pokémon for Marill, in Gen 3.
