Biology

Remoraid evolves into Octillery, which resembles an octopus.

Design & origin

While Remoraid resembles a gun, Octillery resembles a tank. During the development of Gold and Silver, Octillery originally had a more aggressive design, brandishing an army helmet atop its head. Octillery's English name comes from the words "octopus" and "artillery".

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.
Legends: Arceus
It usually sleeps in caves. The pitch-black ink that Octillery spits is also used for cooking.
Ultra Moon
The ink it spits when escaping is special. It contains a substance that dulls the sense of smell, so Pokémon with keen noses get lost.
Ultra Sun
It has a tendency to want to be in holes. It prefers rock crags or pots and sprays ink from them before attacking.
Black 2 · White 2 · X · Sword
It traps foes with the suction cups on its tentacles, then smashes them with its rock-hard head.
HeartGold · Y
It loves to lurk inside holes in rocks. It sometimes sprays ink on prey by sticking out only its mouth.
Platinum · Black · White
It obscures its foe’s vision by spitting a cloud of murky ink. It makes its nest among boulders.
Pearl
It lives in the gaps of boulders and in holes on the seafloor. Its suction cups grip prey tightly.
Diamond
It ensnares its foe with its suction- cupped tentacles before delivering the finishing blow. If the foe turns out to be too strong, it spews ink to escape.
Emerald
OCTILLERY grabs onto its foe using its tentacles. This Pokémon tries to immobilize it before delivering the finishing blow. If the foe turns out to be too strong, OCTILLERY spews ink to escape.
Ruby · Sapphire · Omega Ruby · Alpha Sapphire
Its instinct is to bury itself in holes. It often steals the nesting holes of others to sleep in them.
Crystal
It instinctively sneaks into rocky holes. If it gets sleepy, it steals the nest of a fellow OCTILLERY.
