{{nihongo|'''Remoraid'''|テッポウオ||'''Teppouo''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} is one of the 493 of Pokémon in the [[Pokémon]] franchise. It is #223 in the [[List of Pokémon|National Pokédex]]. It is a Water-type Pokémon that was introduced in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver'']] video games. Remoraid is a very accurate shooter, and learns many beam-related attacks. It also vaguely looks like a gun, a revolver to be precise.

Its name is a combination of "[[remora]]" (marine fish with a flattened elongated body and a sucking disk on the head for attaching to large fish) and "raid" (referring to the way it scavenges for food). Its Japanese name is a [[portmanteau]] of "teppo" (鉄砲), meaning "gun", because it can blasts water from its mouth at high speeds (it could also be based on its aforementioned resemblance to a gun), and "uo" (魚), meaning "fish".

== Biology ==

Remoraid are based on a [[Remora]] suckerfish that tends to attach itself on a [[manta ray]] or shark as it feeds on the debris that tend to get attached to these large animals. It may also be based off of an archerfish, a fish which, like Remoraid, shoots water from its mouth with great precision.

Remoraid has a somewhat [[symbiosis|symbiotic]] relationship with [[Mantine]]. Remoraid will attach itself to the underbelly of Mantine with its [[dorsal fin]], eating scraps of food that Mantine drops as well as the parasites on them that causes them to itch. In turn, the Mantine helps defend the Remoraid from enemies.

When not scavenging for food, Remoraid will strike down its own prey with precise accuracy using fast streams of airborne water, which Remoraid shoots from its mouth using abdominal muscles. This technique is used to capture moving [[insect]]s from a distance of over 300 feet away.

Remoraid can move faster through the water by blasting water from its mouth in the opposite direction of where it intends to move. It can use this ability to escape from large foes which it doesn't intend to eat.

A curious trait of Remoraid is its ability to evolve in to [[Octillery]]: an [[octopus]], not a [[fish]]. The two show no physical resemblance (except for the fact that both creatures use organs similar to stick to something) and to the untrained eye, appear to be two completely separate Pokémon.

Also according to the Anime, captured Remoraid may have possibly been used by some [[Cowboy]]/Pokemon Trainers in the Wild West (or that universe's version of Old West) instead of firearms, as they resemble [[revolver]]s.

A fish that shot water like a gun simply called a gunfish was an enemy in an earlier Game Freaks game [[Pulseman]].

== In the video games ==

Remoraid is available in ''[[Pokémon Emerald]]'' by fishing in the Safari Zone. It can also be found in ''[[Pokémon LeafGreen]]'' in numerous areas in the Sevii Islands by fishing. In ''[[Pokémon Colosseum]]'' It can be snagged in Pyrite town. It is also in Silver when you talk to Wilton fisher and get his phone number he will call you about the Remoraid biting.

Remoraid learns a range of beam attacks, including ''Psybeam'', ''Aurora Beam'', ''Bubblebeam'', ''Ice Beam'' and ''Hyper Beam'' (this makes Remoraid one of a few basic Pokemon that can learn ''Hyper Beam'' by leveling-up). Remoraid can also learn the ''Octazooka'' Water-type Attack as an Egg Move if it is bred from a male Octillery that has learned ''Octazooka''.

At level 25, it evolves into the octopus Pokémon, Octillery.

Remoraid has very low defensive statistics, which makes it difficult to capture. Its other statistics are also only moderately high.

Remoraid is also involved in the evolution of [[Mantine|Mantine's]] pre-evolution, [[Mantyke]], as Mantyke only evolves into Mantine when it gains a level while Remoraid is in the party.

If a person uses ''[[Pokemon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium 2]]'' to trade a [[MissingNo.|MissingNo.]] into the ''[[Pokemon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver,]]'' and ''[[Pokemon Crystal|Crystal]]'' game cartridges, a glitched version of Remoraid sometimes appears in the game. This alternate version of the Pokémon can reach level 255, and use the Fly technique.

== In the anime ==

Remoraid are featured in the episode ''The Light Fantastic'', where every twelve years they make a giant ice sculpture that makes water flow down an otherwise dried up river.

Later, while at the Whirl Cup, Ash meets a boy who owns an Octillery. He has an aquarium with a school of Remoraid, that ignore and keep their distance from Octillery. When Team Rocket arrives to steal them, Octillery rescues the Remoraid and they all regain their friendship with Octillery, using the experience to evolve themselves.

Remoraid are also used as replacements for guns in a parody of a Western movie.

An extremely high amount of Remoraid appear in the ninth movie. They are always seen in huge schools and are often swirling around something or somebody. Such as the egg of Manaphy, The Phantom etc.
