Pokemon Black 2 / Pokemon White 2

Reuniclus Black 2 & White 2 Guide

  • In Black 2 & White 2, 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. Recover with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, watch for Scizor (Bug), Gengar (Ghost), and Houndoom (Dark) when using Reuniclus. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. At base 30 Speed, Reuniclus won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, 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.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Reuniclus fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with 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.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, run Recover, Focus Blast, Calm Mind, and Psychic on Reuniclus. Recover is the most common pick at 0% usage. Psychic provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

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.
