remoraid

Remoraid is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Type: Water

Abilities:

• Hustle: Increases the power of Remoraid's physical attacks by 50% at the cost of reducing their accuracy by 20%.

Physical Characteristics:

• Resembles a small, blue fish with a streamlined body.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Commonly found in freshwater lakes and rivers.
• Known for its sharpshooting abilities, often seen shooting jets of water with incredible accuracy to knock berries from trees.
• Tends to swim in schools and can sometimes be observed attaching itself to Mantine, similar to how remoras attach to larger fish in the real world.

In Battle:

• Functions as a versatile Pokémon with access to a variety of moves.
• Notable moves include Water Gun, Aurora Beam, and Bullet Seed.
• Benefits from moves that capitalize on its Sniper ability, such as Focus Energy, to increase its critical hit ratio.
• Effective against Fire, Ground, and Rock types, but vulnerable to Electric and Grass types.

Evolution:

• Evolves into Octillery starting at level 25.

Interesting Facts:

• Remoraid's design and concept are inspired by both a remora fish and artillery, particularly noted in its evolutionary line.
• In the Pokémon anime, Remoraid has been shown using its water jets with pinpoint precision to demonstrate its sharpshooting skills.
• Despite being a Water-type, its evolution into Octillery more closely resembles an octopus, showcasing a unique evolutionary leap.
