Spits water from its mouth with incredible accuracy. It captures Burmy by shooting them down off the branches from which they dangle.
Remoraid Weakness

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.
