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.

Best Build

No build content available for this Pokemon in Gen 7.

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.

Solosis doesn't appear in Sun & Moon. Transfer it from White, White 2, or Shield to add it to your collection. Check the source games below for encounter details.

Solosis is not available as a wild encounter in this game.

Also found in:

WhiteWhite 2XShield

  • Solosis is meant to evolve into Duosion. At 290 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • Watch for Pinsir (Bug), Dusknoir (Ghost), and Hydreigon (Dark) when using Solosis. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. At base 20 Speed, Solosis won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Solosis evolves into Duosion at level 32. Solosis is the base form in a 3-stage evolutionary line.

  • Magic Guard is what you want on Solosis. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Overcoat, Regenerator) work on paper but Magic Guard is what makes Solosis worth using.

  • Base 20 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Solosis is a special attacker with base 105 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits. Best used as an attacker.

  • Solosis appears in 8 games, including Black & White, Black 2 & White 2, and X & Y.

Solosis joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 8 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
