In the Pokémon universe, Remoraid's backstory is tied to its habitat and evolutionary relationships. Remoraid often attaches itself to Mantine’s fins, traveling through the sea and feeding on remnants of Mantine's meals. This symbiotic relationship plays a crucial role in the evolutionary process of Mantyke into Mantine, as a Mantyke requires a Remoraid in the party when leveling up to evolve into Mantine. Despite this connection, Remoraid remains a distinct Pokémon species, continuing its existence independently after Mantyke’s evolution.
In the broader context of the Pokémon world, Remoraid is known as the "sniper of the seas" due to its extraordinary ability to shoot water with high accuracy and over long distances. This skill is not only used for hunting prey such as Burmy but also for self-defense, allowing Remoraid to propel itself backward when threatened. Its ability to shoot water accurately from over 300 feet makes it a remarkable Pokémon within its ecosystem. Remoraid often travels in schools and exhibits group behavior, especially when accompanying a Mantyke.
Remoraid’s physical characteristics include a streamlined, fish-like body with two dark stripes on its back, resembling the barrel of a revolver. It has a single pelvic fin positioned like a trigger, pectoral fins, and a dorsal fin near its mouth, all contributing to its gun-like appearance. Remoraid’s shooting ability is akin to an archerfish, utilizing its abdominal muscles to shoot water jets with precision. This unique combination of traits—revolver-like body structure and shooting accuracy—distinguishes Remoraid as a fascinating Pokémon in both design and functionality.
