While most trainers evolve Remoraid into Octillery immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Only weak to Electric and Grass. Known as the Jet Pokemon. Can go either physical or special depending on the set.

Attack and Sp. Atk carry most of Remoraid's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Sp. Atk EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

It squirts water forcefully from its mouth to shoot down flying prey.

Remoraid Weakness

Good

Remoraid's Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric and Grass moves. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Just 2 weak spots to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Remoraid won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 10 types means it always has an effective option. Water Spout and Hydro Pump anchor the STAB core.

  • Remoraid is meant to evolve into Octillery. At 300 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • Watch for Raikou (Electric) and Venusaur (Grass) when using Remoraid. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Remoraid evolves into Octillery at level 25. Remoraid is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • Hustle strengthens physical moves to inflict 1.5× damage, but decreases their accuracy to 0.8× — that's the one you want on Remoraid. Moody is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Sniper works too if your team needs something different.

  • At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Remoraid is leaning toward the physical side (base 65 Attack). Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

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

Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Remoraid spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through catching or hatching as a base form in most mainline games.
