Tracey's Marill was revealed when
Tracey Sketchit decided that he needed a good Pokémon to help him find the
Crystal Onix.
Tracey's Marill has very sensitive ears that can detect distant sounds and the round, rubbery tip of its tail can expand and contract, assisting Marill in the water. While swimming,
Tracey's Marill tail floats so he can see where it's going.
Misty realized that
Tracey Sketchit and his Marill make a good team as
Tracey's Marill could hear a Pokémon long before
Tracey Sketchit could even see it.
Tracey Sketchit would often play a Pokémon cry on his dex for Marill to help it learn what the Pokémon sounded like so it could search for that particular Pokémon.
Tracey's Marill ears would twitch when it was searching or it found something.
