Dark OctilleryNeo Destiny #62 Pokémon Card

Dark Octillery is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, evolving from Remoraid. Its design is based on an octopus, but with a more aggressive and streamlined appearance befitting its "Dark" designation in the Pokémon TCG. In the main series games, Octillery is known for its ability to learn a wide variety of moves, including many projectile-based attacks, reflecting its cannon-like mouth. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its intelligence and predatory nature, particularly its skill in trapping prey. As a Dark Pokémon in the TCG, it typically features abilities or attacks that disrupt the opponent's strategy or deal increased damage in certain situations, often at a cost or with a drawback. Octillery itself is not a particularly prominent Pokémon in the anime or games, often playing a supporting role or being showcased for its unique evolutionary method from the fish-like Remoraid. However, its "Dark" variant in the TCG provides an interesting thematic twist, portraying a more sinister side to the typically straightforward Octillery. This particular portrayal contributes to the diverse lore within the Pokémon universe, offering a glimpse into how certain Pokémon might behave under different influences, aligning with the Rocket-themed "Dark" Pokémon from this era.
