Nothing fancy in Octillery's spread. It leans mixed with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack and Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
While Octillery still shoots water from its mouth, the drastic anatomical difference between it and Remoraid meant that for a long time, no one believed the former evolved from the latter.
Octillery is weak to Electric and Grass. The Water typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. With 75 HP and balanced defenses, Octillery can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Octillery works as an attacker with 480 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a situational pick that fills a niche. That 105 base Attack does the heavy lifting.
Suction Cups is the go-to ability for Octillery. It prevents being forced out of battle by other Pokémon's moves. Its hidden ability Moody can work in specific setups. Sniper is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Octillery is a special attacker with base 105 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker role.
Best way to handle Octillery: Faster attackers outpace it. Anything with a super-effective STAB move and decent speed can revenge kill.
Debuting in Gold & Silver, Octillery appears in 17 games across 9 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through wild encounters.
