REMORAID sucks in water, then expels it at high velocity using its abdominal muscles to shoot down flying prey. When evolution draws near, this POKéMON travels downstream from rivers.

Remoraid Weakness

Remoraid's Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric and Grass. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Just 2 weak spots to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.
