I'm iffy about using Suicune as an Azumarill check because it can't do anything in return but Scald and cross its fingers for a burn.
I'm not going to vote though, because CAP is a total mystery to me.

It sets up on any Azu not running Belly Drum and only bad players run Belly Drum.

Some useful calcs for this argument, decide for yourself.
Without burns:
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 175-207 (43.3 - 51.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
4 SpA Suicune Scald vs. 228 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 48-57 (12 - 14.3%) -- possible 7HKO

With burns:
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power burned Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 87-103 (21.5 - 25.4%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
4 SpA Suicune Scald vs. 228 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 48-57 (12 - 14.3%) -- guaranteed 5HKO after burn damage

My opinion, though, is that it really depends on when/if the burn lands. If the burn lands first hit, then Suicune's got a chance. After that, Suicune's chances of survival drop like a skydiver in a concrete bodybag.

Still concerned about that Aqua Jet, though.

Considering that I consider all of the Pokémon on my game card my Pokemon, even those that "belong" to the CPUs, I find it uplifting to see their HP tank out and their petty little existences shrink and dissipate.

To be honest, if mine die, it's a proof that they weren't worthy of life in the first place.

And then the darkness rained upon them.

1) You might be surprised how dangerous that thing is. Just because Belly Drum is just a gimmick on most Pokemon, doesn't mean it is on Azumarill.
2) You have to be prepared for common threats. Whether you believe they should be common or not.

...In mine, I let Mick, Pi and Boulderbrain die. They're somehow still here...

EDIT: Nuzlocke update time!
-Beat my rival in Anistar.
-Beat Olympia, the nutjob who runs the gym. Not hard, Barbaracle's Shadow Claw and Dedenne's Thunderbolt pretty much halted proceedings.
-Got a call from Lysandre, with his whole 'I'm going to destroy the world!' spiel.
-Set Dedenne, Florges and Hawlucha loose in Team Flare's base.
-Got some useless exposition from exposition vessel AZ.
-Teamed up with my rival to fight my way down to the lower levels of Team Flare's Geosenge HQ.
-Defeated some admins.
-Caught the great god of destruction Yveltal.
-Beat Lysandre for the third and final time. Not too hard, Dedenne and Hawlucha ended his dreams, while I fed on his misery.
-Lysandre suicided by firing the ultimate weapon into itself.
-I reach Couriway Town.
-I steal the TM for UTurn, and find a Rare Candy.
-Battled and crushed Sycamore.
-Sycamore says that Lysandre somehow survived. Obvious sequel expectation is obvious...

OK, nuzlocke complete!
-Beat the E4, rather easily for the most part. Siebold was the only one who came close to killing someone.
-Beat Diantha, in a rather boring match. I oneshotted everything bar Goodra, and that got oneshotted from full after I CMed Florges on the turn it healed.
-Entered the Hall of Fame. Yay.
-Found some weird awards ceremony thing going on in Lumiose.
-Got forced into battling this AZ person. Destroyed this AZ person. Gained zero experience from battling this AZ person.
-Fell asleep whole waiting for the damn credits to end.

Final summary, complete with nicknames:
The legendary party, complete with movesets and natures!
Gdas the Naughty Dedenne, level 67, AKA 'The Wild Card'- I did not expect Dedenne to be this good.
-Thunderbolt
-Volt Switch
-Play Rough
-Thief

Nick the Docile Talonflame, level 67 AKA 'The Veteran'- First catch, and still going strong.
-Brave Bird
-Fly
-Aerial Ace
-Fire Blast

Meta the Quiet Florges, level 68 AKA 'The Survivor'- Much tankiness many wow. Survived countless battles with >15HP.
-Calm Mind
-Moonblast
-Magical Leaf
-Nature Power

Divine the Lonely Hawlucha, level 68 AKA 'Flaresbane'- Pretty much wrecked Team Flare, with a touch of help from Gdas.
-Strength
-Rock Smash
-Flying Press
-Poison Jab

Arcos the Jolly Barbaracle, level 73 AKA 'The Devastator'-Got bred on OR, so it got boosted EXP growth. Consequently, when I led with it, it reached stupid levels due to me wanting an OP pokemon for the league.
-Poison Jab
-Cross Chop
-Razor Shell
-Stone Edge

Zero the Calm Noivern, level 68 AKA 'The Noob'- The last pokemon I caught on the nuzlocke.
-Hurricane
-Dragon Pulse
-Focus Blast
-Air Slash

Boxed: Caur the Amaura, level 20
Blackjack the Carbink, level 23
Spikester the Spritzee, level 27 AKA 'The Wall'- For the fairly brief period I used him in, he never went far below half health.
Dew the Goomy, level 31
Black the Skrelp, level 32
Zachmac the Bergmite, level 39
Jakjak the Inkay, level 45 AKA 'The Unchangeable'-I couldn't evolve him because my 3ds now doesn't register rotations.
Frou-Frou the Furfrou, level 55 AKA 'La Comte'-Because Blackadder. Also, OP in the first few gyms. Was going to take him into the E4 with me, but Zero edged him out.

Deceased: Boulderbrain the Honedge, level 14: Died to a Machop's Foresight/Karate Chop after a surprise level jump.
Mick the Bunnelby, level 15: See above.
Pi the Pyroar, level 35: Died to a gym trainer's Ampharos' Power Gem.

Things I won't ever use, but are in my box still for some reason:

OK, the nuzlocke's done, lost 3 pokes, took me 10 days.
