What do the attacks on Octillery 34 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 90 damage, which is 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aqua Wash | 1 Water | 1 | 20 | 20 | You may put an Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon into their hand. |
| Octo Beatdown | 1 Water + 2 Colorless | 3 | 90× | 30 | Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 90 damage for each heads. |
Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.
One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.
Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol
A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.
- Octo Beatdown is printed as 90×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.
How does Octillery 34 compare with every other card?
Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

This card prints 110 HP, which is 29% of that ceiling.

Back to summaryIs Octillery 34 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 90 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.
Each bar is what cards asking that much Energy typically print, divided by the Energy they ask for. The number beside the bar is that figure.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 1 typically return 49.0 damage per Energy card. This card returns 30.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |
| 2 Energy | 32.5 | 65 damage typical |
| 3 Energy | 34.7 | 104 damage typical |
| 4 Energy | 27.8 | 111 damage typical |
| 5 Energy | 41.8 | 209 damage typical |
| Octillery 34 — this card | 30.0 | 90 damage for 3 Energy |
Further right is a costlier attack, further up is a harder-hitting one, so the cheap and heavy corner is top left. The size of a grey dot is how many cards sit at that Energy cost.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead
The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 90 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
What does being a Water card do for Octillery 34?
Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 13.5% | 2,335 cards |

| Colorless | 12.6% | 2,173 cards |

| Dragon | 3.1% | 530 cards |
| Fairy | 1.4% | 237 cards |
Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Water weakness.
What being a Water card is worth
Groups that most often print a Water weakness: Fire (1,574 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Water cards are themselves most exposed to Lightning.
What knocks out Octillery 34 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Lightning attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 55 printed damage rather than 110.
60 damage becomes 120 against this card
Octillery 34110 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 635 cards in the archive that can remove Octillery 34 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 60 printed damage against a bar of 55. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

110 HP against a Lightning ×2 weakness means any Lightning attack printed at 55 damage or more is enough. 639 cards in the archive clear that bar.

What is Octillery as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Octillery 34 is one print of Octillery. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.
Every Octillery print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryWhat has to be in play before Octillery 34 can be?
Octillery evolves from Remoraid, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
- This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Remoraid.
- The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.
Is this the strongest Octillery print, and can the older ones still be played?
19 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.
Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

3 of the 19 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.
Back to summaryWhat can you use instead of Octillery 34?
Every card below asks a deck for the same kind of slot, so the comparison is between what they print, not what they cost.

This card itself is 110 HP, 90 top damage and 2 retreat, and every card here is Water like it.
Back to summaryWhich other cards share the Pokémon behind Octillery 34?

Which rules apply to Octillery 34, and where can it be played?
Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.
| Clause | What the rulebook says | Cards it applies to | Share of the archive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weakness | Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card. | 16,744 cards | 81.9% |
| Retreat | Retreat your Active Pokemon (only once per turn). | 17,244 cards | 84.3% |
| Energy per turn | You can attach Energy just once each turn! | 17,180 cards | 84.0% |

Which generation of cards does Octillery 34 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.
8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.
The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Octillery 34 in depth — what these figures add up to
Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.
What it asks a deck for
- Its hardest attack, Octo Beatdown, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
- That works out at 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
- It cannot start the game in play — Remoraid has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Lightning attack printed at 55 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 110 HP.
- 639 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 1,479 cards in one attack.
