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.
To escape from an attacker, it may shoot water out of its mouth, then use that force to swim backward.
Remoraid Weakness
GoodRemoraid'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.
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
- Special stat split into Sp.Atk and Sp.Def
One evolution ahead. Remoraid grows into Octillery through a straightforward two-stage chain. A decent partner pool for breeding via two egg groups. Eggs are average hatch time. The evolved forms gain up to 180 total stats over Remoraid.
How to Evolve
Breed Remoraid easily with 37 breeding partners from the Water1 and Water2 egg groups. Pass egg moves like Aurora Beam, Haze, Octazooka and 2 more to offspring.
Best Build
Gen 2 build content has limited support (no abilities).
Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.
The natural movepool does the job, but Aurora Beam and Haze from the egg pool give Remoraid something extra.

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