USUM Octillery Best Moveset
105 Attack and 105 Sp. Atk with AbilitySniper tripling critical hit damage and AbilityMoody randomly raising one stat sharply every turn as a hidden ability. Water TermStab from either side. But 45 Speed acts dead last and 75/75 bulk means the moveset goes down before dealing meaningful damage. D-tier through mixed power limited by everything else.

The ink it spits when escaping is special. It contains a substance that dulls the sense of smell, so Pokémon with keen noses get lost.
It usually sleeps in caves. The pitch-black ink that Octillery spits is also used for cooking.
Octillery Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Octillery works as an attacker with 480 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Thunder Wave with Leftovers is the standard set.
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.
