Octillery (Japanese: オクタン Okutank) is a Water-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Octillery are red cepholopod Pokémon with yellow bumps on their rock-hard heads and yellow suction cups on each tentacle. They possess 8 tentacles, two of them are used for manipulating objects while the other six don't appear to be used as much aside from a stabilizing role. Octillery may be a distant cousin of Gyarados and Milotic, since all three aquatic Pokémon evolve from weak fish-like Pokémon.
Gender differences
A female Octillery has smaller suction cups on its tentacles. The yellow bumps on its head are also smaller.
Special abilities
Octillery is much more powerful than its evolved form, Remoraid, but it happens to be much slower. Octillery's tentacles boast stronger gripping power. It also is capable of using Sludge Bomb, Gunk Shot, Energy Ball, Flash Cannon and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Habitat
Both Octillery and Remoraid are normally found in oceans. However, they are occasionally found in freshwater lakes.

Trivia
- Not counting Hidden Power and Natural Gift or Mew, Smeargle, and Arceus, Octillery can learn damaging attacks of twelve of the seventeen types, more than any other Pokémon. (It can't learn any Fighting, Ground, Flying, Ghost, or Dragon-type attacks.) This makes Octillery a very versatile and useful Pokémon in competitive battling.
- Octillery is the only Generation II Pokémon that starts with an O. It is also the latest one out, for now.
Origin
This Pokémon is based on an octopus.
Name origin
Octillery's name is a combination of octopus and artillery. Similarly for Okutank, but with tank instead of artillery.
