Under Trick Room, Reuniclus's terrible Speed becomes its best asset — it 'outspeeds' nearly everything when turns are reversed. And it hits hard enough to make that matter. Only weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Known as the Multiplying Pokemon.
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 Weakness
VulnerableReuniclus's Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Ghost, and Dark moves. 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.
How to Evolve
Breed with Reuniclus to get Solosis eggs easily from the Indeterminate egg group. Notable egg moves include Acid Armor, Astonish, Confuse Ray and 5 more.
The physical wall spread is where Reuniclus earns its spot. Life Orb for extra damage on every hit for a health trade, Bold nature for the right lean, and Recover handles sustain. Magic Guard does the rest without needing a move slot.

STAB runs through Future Sight and Dream Eater for the basics, but Reuniclus's real strength is the 11-type coverage spread. Normal and Rock hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.

No wild encounters for Reuniclus in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Bring Solosis over from White, White 2, or Shield, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
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.
