Trivia

Not counting Hidden Power and Natural Gift or Mew, Smeargle, and Arceus, Octillery can learn damaging attacks of twelve of the seventeen types, more than any other Pokémon. (It can't learn any Fighting, Ground, Flying, Ghost, or Dragon-type attacks.) This makes Octillery a very versatile and useful Pokémon in competitive battling.

Origin

This Pokémon is based on an octopus.

Name origin

Octillery's name is a combination of octopus and artillery. Similarly for Okutank, but with tank instead of artillery.
