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.
Because their bodies are enveloped in a special liquid, they are fine in any environment, no matter how severe.

Best Build
No build content available for this Pokemon in Gen 5.
Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.
Don't skip the egg moves. Solosis picks up Acid Armor and Astonish only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Future Sight and Dream Eater while coverage across 7 types adds range.
