Is Reuniclus Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?

Psychic with AbilityMagic Guard and enormous Special Attack. No hazard damage, no weather damage, no poison ticks. Handles Hala and contributes heavy Psychic damage at the E4. Slow, but the raw power and immunity to chip damage keep Reuniclus in fights others can't endure.

Reuniclus Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Life Orb is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Recover, Calm Mind, Psyshock, and Focus Blast on Reuniclus. Recover is the most common pick at 0% usage. Psyshock 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.
