Octillery in Pokémon Platinum: locations, stats and moves
Find Octillery’s Platinum locations, Generation IV Water typing, base stats, original abilities, evolution requirements and exact Platinum moves.
Original Nintendo DS release; not Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl.
Generation IV identity and base stats
Octillery is Sinnoh #133 and National #224. Its Platinum typing is Water. The stats below describe its standard Platinum form on the original Nintendo DS cartridge. Later Fairy typing, stat buffs and Hidden Abilities are excluded.
The existing Platinum sprite shows its standard Platinum form; gender, cloak or alternate forms can have different appearances.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 75 |
| Attack | 105 |
| Defense | 75 |
| Sp. Atk | 105 |
| Sp. Def | 75 |
| Speed | 45 |
| Total | 480 |
Where to obtain it in Platinum
Check the location, method and conditions before travelling. A gift, trade, Honey Tree, daily replacement or stationary interaction is different from ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching documented encounter slots.
These records are filtered to Platinum. Time, Poké Radar, swarm, GBA insertion, daily and story conditions remain separate. Postgame areas require their story access; no listed area is promised to be open on a fresh save.

Evolution family and Generation IV requirements
| From | Into | Platinum method |
|---|---|---|
| Remoraid | Octillery | Level 25 |
Friendship evolution uses the original threshold of 220. Held-item trades need a compatible second game and system. Platinum uses special rocks, Mt. Coronet magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and Beauty rather than later replacement methods.
Original abilities, breeding and training
| Ability | Original slot |
|---|---|
| Suction Cups | Regular ability slot 1 |
| Sniper | Regular ability slot 2 |
Hidden Abilities did not exist in Generation IV. The table restores original ability slots where a species changed in later games; an ability’s modern behavior must not be assumed to match Platinum.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | 50% female / 50% male |
| Egg group(s) | Water 1 / Water 2 |
| Base hatch cycles | 20 |
| Experience growth | Medium Fast |
| Base capture rate | 75 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Attack +1, Special Attack +1 |
The Solaceon Town Day Care supports breeding before the League. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Some baby forms require the matching incense on a parent, while trade evolutions still need the trade rather than only a Day Care level.

Platinum TMs are single-use: teaching one consumes that copy. HMs are reusable and require the Move Deleter to be forgotten. Defog is HM05 and Rock Climb is HM08; these are the Generation IV field moves, with their own badge requirements.
Egg moves and Platinum Move Tutors
No Platinum Egg moves are recorded for this form.
Recorded Platinum tutor compatibility: Bounce, Dive, Gunk Shot, Icy Wind, Mud Slap, Seed Bomb, Signal Beam, Snore, Swift.
Tutor compatibility does not mean every listed technique comes from the same shard tutor. Starter ultimate moves, Draco Meteor and other special services have their own requirements.
