Stats & Training
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 has superb accuracy. The water it shoots out can strike moving prey from more than 300 feet away.
Using its dorsal fin as a suction pad, it clings to a Mantine’s underside to scavenge for leftovers.
Remoraid Weakness
