Stats & Training
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.
