Sp. Atk leads and Speed gets almost nothing. That's Solosis's stat line in a nutshell. 1 stats sit in respectable range, but the spread is brutal. Easy to catch and yields 1 Sp. Atk EV.

Three stages ahead. Solosis grows into Duosion, then pushes on to Reuniclus. Check the evolution methods below. For breeding, average hatch time with plenty of partners via one egg group. The evolved forms gain up to 200 total stats over Solosis. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed Solosis easily with 63 breeding partners from the Indeterminate egg group.
Psychic is the main STAB option after a Calm Mind boost. Eviolite gives Solosis a bulk boost that only works before full evolution to survive the setup turn, and max Sp. Atk without Speed EVs make the boosted hits count. The remaining moves catches resists.

Solosis best EVs are Sp. Atk and Defense
