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.
While it could use its psychic abilities in battle, this Pokémon prefers to swing its powerful arms around to beat opponents into submission.
It’s said that drinking the liquid surrounding Reuniclus grants wisdom. Problem is, the liquid is highly toxic to anything besides Reuniclus itself.
Reuniclus's Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. With 110 HP and balanced defenses, Reuniclus can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Reuniclus is the final form in a three-stage chain from Solosis through Duosion. Breeding this form produces Solosis eggs (average hatch time). Evolving from Solosis gave Reuniclus the biggest boost in HP (+65), bringing the total to 490 stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Reuniclus to get Solosis eggs easily using 63 partners from the Indeterminate egg group.
The physical wall spread is where Reuniclus earns its spot. Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, Bold nature for the right lean, and Recover handles sustain. Magic Guard does the rest without needing a move slot.

Don't let Reuniclus's 490 base stat total fool you. Magic Guard is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a wallbreaker.
Run Magic Guard on Reuniclus. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Reuniclus also gets Overcoat and Regenerator, but they don't compare.
Reuniclus fills the wallbreaker role. It's leaning toward the special side (base 125 Sp. Atk). Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Run Recover, Calm Mind, Focus Blast, and Psychicnoise on Reuniclus. Recover is the most common pick at 18% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Introduced in Black & White, Reuniclus has appeared in 8 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
