Reuniclus Best Moveset
AbilityMagic Guard blocks all indirect damage including Held ItemLife Orb recoil, which means free Life Orb damage on every hit. 125 Sp. Atk at 110 HP fires special Psychic TermStab with zero HP cost. NatureQuiet maximizes Sp. Atk. The moveset sets up with MoveCalm Mind and tanks hits through the massive HP pool. 30 Speed means MoveTrick Room support or just absorbing hits. C-Tier.
Magic Guard ignored all indirect damage in Gen V (Black & White). Calm Mind boosted, Recover healed, and hazards plus weather chip didn't apply. Top tier on debut.

How to Obtain Reuniclus in SM
- Step 3Reuniclus ✓
Base Stats
Reuniclus's spread is anchored by Sp. Atk, with balanced defenses backing it up. Speed is the clear weak point. Worth 3 Sp. Atk EVs per KO, and the 1.06M XP medium-slow curve keeps leveling painless.
It’s said that drinking the liquid surrounding Reuniclus grants wisdom. Problem is, the liquid is highly toxic to anything besides Reuniclus itself.
Reuniclus Guide
Reuniclus's hidden ability is Regenerator. Heals for 1/3 max HP upon switching out. Better than the standard options for competitive play.
Use Reuniclus as a wallbreaker. Special attacks are the main output. It's slow, so Trick Room or priority moves are key.
Build your team around Kingambit and Iron Valiant. These have the highest co-usage rates with Reuniclus in competitive formats. They cover each other's weaknesses.
Run Quiet on Reuniclus. +Sp. Atk is what matters, and the -Speed cut doesn't hurt this set. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Reuniclus has appeared in 8 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
