* Along with {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Trapinch}}, and {{p|Giaru}}, Remoraid is one of the few basic-stage Pokémon to learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Of the five, only Remoraid is not part of a three-stage evolutionary line.

Remoraid's name may be a combination of ''remora'' and ''raid'', as in a rapid attack.  Alternatively, its name could be a combination of ''remora'' and ''aid,'' denoting the health benefits of some fish which clean others. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of 鉄砲 ''teppō'', gun – as in {{wp|water gun}} – and 魚 ''uo'', fish. 鉄砲魚 ''teppōuo'' is also the Japanese name for the archerfish.
