Mid-stage Pokemon like Solosis rarely see competitive play outside of special formats. It's a waypoint on the road to Reuniclus, which is where the real potential kicks in. Only weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Known as the Cell Pokemon.
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.
It communicates with others telepathically. Its body is encapsulated in liquid, but if it takes a heavy blow, the liquid will leak out.
Many say that the special liquid covering this Pokémon’s body would allow it to survive in the vacuum of space.
Solosis Weakness
VulnerableBug, Ghost, and Dark-type moves hit Solosis for super-effective damage. Standard number of weaknesses for the Psychic typing.
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.
How to Evolve
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.
