In X & Y, Don't let Reuniclus's 490 base stat total fool you. Magic Guard is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Recover with Leftovers is the standard set.

What is Reuniclus weak to?

In X & Y, watch for Scizor (Bug), Gengar (Ghost), and Houndoom (Dark) when using Reuniclus. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. At base 30 Speed, Reuniclus won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

What is the best ability for Reuniclus?

In X & Y, Run Magic Guard on Reuniclus. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Reuniclus also gets Overcoat and Regenerator, but they don't compare.

What role does Reuniclus play in battle?

In X & Y, Reuniclus fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 125 Sp. Atk. Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

What are the best moves for Reuniclus?

In X & Y, run Recover, Calm Mind, Psychic, and Focus Blast on Reuniclus. Recover is the most common pick at 19% usage. Psychic provides reliable STAB damage.
