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.
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 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.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 14 types means almost nothing walls Octillery cleanly, with Water Spout and Hydro Pump anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

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.
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 special attacker with base 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.
