Reuniclus (Japanese: ランクルス, Hepburn: Rankurusu) (ree-yoo-NIH-klus) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is Gothitelle's counterpart.

Biology

Physiology

Reuniclus is a rounded cell-like Pokémon. Unlike its pre-evolution named Solosis and Duosion, it now has visible limbs and ears, as well as a fully-formed body mass. Its light green body mass is surrounded by a translucent, green gelatinous membrane. It has a large round ovular head with a crease running down the center to the tip of its mouth. Its eyes are ovular and black, and its mouth is triangular-shaped and red with a visible pink tongue. Its internal body mass is relatively small with short stubby paws and feet. Despite this, it has four round particles of matter floating next to its paws. On the outside, these particles form long arms and hands with three finger-like digits on each. The gel-like membrane forms a rounded tail-like appendage at the base of Reuniclus' body mass.

Behavior

Reuniclus is able to increase its psychic powers via clasping hands with other Reuniclus. It also uses its psychic abilities to manipulate the large arms that make up its green membrane; these arms possess huge gripping strength that can crush large boulders.

Although capable of using its psychic powers in battle, Reuniclus prefers to use its large arms to pummel opponents. Its membrane contains a special liquid that supposedly enhances wisdom. However, to a human, the liquid itself is highly toxic to consume.

Evolution

Reuniclus is the final evolution of Solosis and evolves from Duosion at level 41.

Trivia

Reuniclus as he appears in PokePark 2

• Reuniclus appears as the Scientorium's head scientist in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond. He's also the inventor of the poster portals that transport Pokémon to Wish Park.
• It was officially revealed during the August issue of CoroCoro along with other six Pokémon on July 11, 2010.
• Reuniclus might be a counterpart to Gothitelle:
  • Both are pure Psychic types introduced in Generation V
  • Both are part of a three-stage evolutionary line, with the first evolution at level 32 and the second evolution at level 41
  • Both have a base stat total of 490
  • Reuniclus is exclusive to White, White 2, and Shield while Gothitelle is exclusive to Black, Black 2, and Sword.

Origin

Reuniclus is based on a eukaryotic cell with its green surroundings being cytoplasm (which works similarly with Reuniclus to how it works in real cells), its body being a nucleus, and the orbs inside of its arms being organelles. The line on its head may be based on a brain, alluding to its psychic typing. The line may also resemble a cleavage furrow, a line that forms in a cell once it splits during mitosis. Due to the embryo-like theme with its evolutionary line, it may be based on a fully developed fetus. Reuniclus also bears a strong resemblance to a homunculus, due to its larger ears, mouth, and hands as homunculi are often modeled with high sense areas enlarged. It also resembles an amoeba.

Etymology

Reuniclus comes from reunite (due to it being a combination of Solosis and Duosion) and nucleus and possibly homunculus.

Its Japanese name, Rankurusu, could come from 卵 (ran, Japanese for "spawn") and homunculus or nucleus.
