Origin
In the trivia section, it says that Remoraid bears no relation to Octillery, evolving from a fish to an octopus. However, I'm not sure Remoraid is entirely based on a fish. Based on the shape of it's body, it appears to also be, at least partly, based on an octopus larva. This would explain why it evolves into an octopus. Here is an image of an octopus larva for comparison: Octopus Larva. Note how the shape of it's body is similar to Remoraid's.--Gioku 01:20, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Relation to Magikarp and Feebas?
I really don't see a relation to the Useless Fishes. Yes, they all evolve into completely different animals, but I think the only biological relationship is between Magikarp and Feebas, with nothing to do with Remoraid. Magikarp and Feebas are fishes that turn into dragons. Both have such a drastic evolution because they are based off of stories. Remoraid just evolves based on the artillery theme.(O++O) Dralcax (talk) 18:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
