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 runs a standard special attacker set. Modest nature with max HP and Sp. Atk EVs shapes the build, while Wide Lens brings extra utility. Sniper supports the kit from the background.

    or evolve from Remoraid (Step 1)
  • 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.

  • Octillery's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric) and Exeggutor (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Remoraid evolves into Octillery at level 25. Octillery is the fully evolved form. At 480 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • 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 mixed attacker — base 105 Attack and 105 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker role.

  • Octillery appears in 17 games, including Gold & Silver, Crystal, and Ruby & Sapphire.

Debuting in Gold & Silver, Octillery appears in 17 games across 8 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through wild encounters.
