Solrock Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Solrock's biggest threats include Swampert (Water), Venusaur (Grass), and Rhydon (Ground), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Bug, Ghost, Dark, and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 7 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Solrock can work for a story run. 440 BST is average, but Rock/Psychic typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Solrock looks average on paper at 440 BST. But Levitate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Psychic with Leftovers is the standard set.
Solrock gets Levitate. But Levitate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Solrock is a mixed attacker with base 95 Attack and 55 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 70 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.
