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.
Using its dorsal fin as a suction pad, it clings to a MANTINE’s underside to scavenge for leftovers.
It has superb accuracy. The water it shoots out can strike even moving prey from more than 100 yards.
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

How to Evolve
Breed Remoraid easily with 58 breeding partners from the Water1 and Water2 egg groups. Pass egg moves like Aurora Beam, Haze, Octazooka and 4 more to offspring.

The natural movepool does the job, but Aurora Beam and Haze from the egg pool give Remoraid something extra. Pair those with Surf and Dive for STAB and Ice and Psychic coverage and more 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.
