Octillery is a Water-type from Gen 2. Only weak to Electric and Grass. 105 base Attack is its best stat. Known as the Jet Pokemon. It works well under Trick Room.
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 Weakness
GoodOctillery is weak to Electric and Grass-type moves. 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 is what Remoraid becomes. Breed it for Remoraid eggs (average hatch time). No compatible 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 from the Water1 and Water2 egg groups. Notable egg moves include Acid Spray, Aurora Beam, Entrainment and 11 more.
The physical wall spread is where Octillery earns its spot. Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, Bold nature for the right lean, and the moveset handles sustain. Suctioncups does the rest without needing a move slot.
