Remoraid Weakness

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

Game Availability

Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Remoraid spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through catching or hatching as a base form in most mainline games.
