Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Octillery's spread. It leans mixed with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack and Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
While Octillery still shoots water from its mouth, the drastic anatomical difference between it and Remoraid meant that for a long time, no one believed the former evolved from the latter.
Octillery Weakness
Octillery is weak to Electric and Grass. The Water typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. With 75 HP and balanced defenses, Octillery can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
