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.
It clings to MANTINE to feed on the big Pokémon’s scraps. This is an adaptation to avoid foes.
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.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
One evolution ahead. Remoraid grows into Octillery through a straightforward two-stage chain. Plenty of partners 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 69 breeding partners from the Water1 and Water2 egg groups. Pass egg moves like Aurora Beam, Flail, Haze and 6 more to offspring.
Best Build

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.
The natural movepool does the job, but Aurora Beam and Flail from the egg pool give Remoraid something extra. Pair those with Surf and Waterfall for STAB and coverage across 9 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

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.
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.
