Platinum Remoraid Best Moveset

Best Build

No build content available for this Pokemon in Gen 4.

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

Moves

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Remoraid won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 12 types means it always has an effective option. Surf and Waterfall anchor the STAB core.

  • Get Remoraid to Octillery at level 25. At 300 BST, Remoraid is just the starting point.

Game Availability

Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Remoraid spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through catching or hatching as a base form in most mainline games.
