Strategy Overview

Octillery has a solid Special Attack stat in conjunction with a wide movepool backed up with a powerful STAB Hydro Pump. It can also hit the entire tier for neutral or super effective damage thanks to its wide coverage, but it is extremely held back by its low Speed, causing it to work best under Trick Room or alongside Sticky Web. Outside of Trick Room or Sticky Web teams, it is outclassed by Pokemon such as Simipour, Politoed, and Floatzel, but it has a slight niche by being harder to counter. For an attacker with such great stats, Octillery's defensive capabilities aren't that bad, and it should be able to survive a few hits coming towards it.
