Octillery is what Remoraid becomes. Breed it for Remoraid eggs (average hatch time). Plenty of partners for breeding via two egg groups. Eggs are average hatch time. The evolution from Remoraid pushed Octillery to 480 total stats. HP saw the largest single gain at +40.
How to Evolve
Breed with Octillery to get Remoraid eggs easily using 58 partners from the Water1 and Water2 egg groups. Notable egg moves include Aurora Beam, Haze, Octazooka and 4 more.
Suctioncups helps Octillery stick around while dealing real damage. Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, max HP and Sp. Atk EVs for the right balance, and Surf as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.
