Octillery, the evolution of Remoraid, is a Water-type Pokémon that serves as a Tier-3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. Wielding 15,887 Combat Power, this Johto Pokémon can be soloed by a high-level Trainer. As a Water pocket monster, Octillery is resistant to Steel, Fire, Water, and Ice Moves. On the other hand, this Raid Boss’s single-type elemental attribute makes it vulnerable to Grass- and Electric-type abilities in Pokémon GO. Therefore, to counter Octillery, Trainers will need to form a Raid party that can utilize these two elements in Pokémon GO.
