Duosion sits in the middle of its evolution line — stronger than Solosis but not yet at full power. Most trainers push through to Reuniclus as fast as possible. Only weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Known as the Mitosis Pokemon.
The stat bars tell the story: Sp. Atk carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Mitosis Pokemon still yields 2 Sp. Atk EVs per fight on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Its psychic power can supposedly cover a range of more than half a mile—but only if its two brains can agree with each other.
Its brain has split into two, and the two halves rarely think alike. Its actions are utterly unpredictable.
Duosion Weakness
VulnerableType-wise, Duosion takes extra damage from Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Not too many gaps in the chart, 3 weaknesses to account for.
Duosion sits between Solosis and Reuniclus in this three-stage line. Not the final form yet. For breeding, average hatch time with plenty of partners via one egg group. HP has grown the most so far (+20), but there's still another 120 stats to gain in the final evolution.
How to Evolve
Breed with Duosion to get Solosis eggs easily using 52 partners from the Indeterminate egg group.
The Sash lets Duosion ignore defensive shortcomings for one turn. Use that turn to deal early damage, and Magic Guard squeezes extra value from the position. Max HP and Sp. Atk EVs push damage output.

Most of Duosion's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Future Sight and Psychic, but Normal and Grass and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

At 370 BST, Duosion is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Reuniclus before bringing it to any serious fight.
Duosion's biggest threats include Heracross (Bug), Chandelure (Ghost), and Tyranitar (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. At base 30 Speed, Duosion won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Duosion gets Magic Guard, Overcoat, and Regenerator. But Magic Guard is the one that matters — it's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Duosion is a special attacker with base 125 Sp. Atk. But the speed tells the real story — base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the cannon role.
Duosion appears in 8 games, including Black & White, Black 2 & White 2, and X & Y.
Since Black & White, Duosion has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Duosion has appeared steadily across every generation since.
