What does "capable of a ranged attack" mean?

I have Moto Latomu XP in a battle. Can he do Sting of the Wasp on the ranged attack he receives from his own game text, even though he is not moving?

Sting of the Wasp

Battle: Target one of your bowed or unbowed Personalities in this battle. Cards in that unit capable of a Ranged Attack may make one Ranged Attack whil bowed during this battle. The strength of the Ranged Attack that each bowed card is capable of making is one less than normal.

Moto Latomu XP

Unicorn Clan Personalities you control have the ability: "Reaction: After moving to a battlefield: Produce a ranged attack with a strength equal to the number of Regions in play."

That a Ranged Attack effect is printed on a card.
