Remoraid (Japanese: テッポウオ Teppouo) is a Water-type Pokémon first seen in the Generation II games. It often clings to a Mantine's underside to scavenge for food.
Remoraid can have the Ability Hustle, which raises the power of physical attacks by 50%, but reduces accuracy to 80% of normal.
Biology
Physiology
Remoraid is a small, light-blue fish-like Pokémon. It has saucer-like eyes and a purple mouth with four pointed teeth. Remoraid has a single pelvic fin positioned like a revolver's trigger, two caudal fins (the bottom on being the handle and the top one being the hammer) two small pectoral fins and a dorsal fin near its mouth. Remoraid may be a distant cousin of Magikarp and Feebas due to the fact all three are fish-like Pokémon that evolve into completely different sea-creatures (even though Remoraid's evolved for is an octopus while Magikarp and Feebas evolve into sea-serpents).
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Remoraid has the typical abilities of a Water-type, but also various beam-based moves (Remoraid is one of the few Pokémon that aren't fully evolved to learn Hyper Beam), as well Bullet Seed, Lock-On, Octazooka and Rock Blast to coincide with its gun-like appearance. Unlike most Water-type Pokémon, Remoraid is capable of using Fire-type attacks. The presence of a Remoraid has been known to make Mantyke evolve.
Behavior
Habitat
Remoraid are sea-dwelling Pokémon.

Trivia
- The Gunfish enemy that appears underwater in Stage 6 of Pulseman resembles to Remoraid, as they are both combinations of fish and revolver pistols.
- Remoraid is the only Pokémon so far that is needed to evolve another one in the same party, namely, Mantyke into Mantine.
Origin
Its fame for shooting attacks is like an archerfish, however in all other regards it seems to be based on a remora. It doesn't look like its evolved form, Octillery, much like several other fishlike Pokémon do not resemble their evolutions.
Name origin
Remoraid's name may be a combination of remora and raid, as in a rapid attack. It may also be taken to incorporate the word mermaid into the name. The teppou it its Japanese name is probably 鉄砲 teppō, gun, as in Water Gun.
