Reuniclus (Japanese: ランクルス Lanculus) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Duosion starting at level 41. It is the final form of Solosis.

Biology

Physiology

Reuniclus's pale-colored inner body is encapsulated within a blob of a translucent, green gel-like substance. Inside the substance, its large, rounded head, with a striation down the length of it, is visible, as well as its torso and stubby feet. There are tapered, pale partitions of the inner part of its body, not connected to the other parts of the inner body and seemingly "floating" in the gel simulacrum; the way it forms around the portions give the impression of Reuniclus possessing horns or ears. There are several protrusions of the body off the main blob of the substance, forming arm-like appendages sporting three "fingers" at the tips and a curving feature of the gel below Reuniclus's waist. Within the arm-like extensions are several rounded portions, of which, like Reuniclus's "ears", seem to be "floating", with the farthermost shapes, colored yellow and then red, being most spherical.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Reuniclus are highly intelligent. They will sometimes join hands with each other, which links their brains and amplifies their psychic power. Their arms' grip is powerful enough to smash rocks.

Major appearances

A Reuniclus appeared in White—Victini and Zekrom under the ownership of Damon. It was seen in the film as Damon's partner in his travels, and later battled against Ash's Pikachu. Several more wild Reuniclus also were seen in a flashback scene in both movies inside the Sword of the Vale.

Trivia

• Reuniclus and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon able to learn Skill Swap via leveling up.

Origin

Reuniclus and the rest of its evolutionary line seem to bear reference to cells, with the green substance surrounding their bodies resembling cytoplasm and the objects inside their bodies representing organelles. The line down its head also resembles a cleavage furrow in cell biology. It may also make allusion to the embryonary stages, specifically when the embryo is fully developed to become into a fetus, while the green jelly may represent the amniotic fluid. The way its organelles are lined up in Reuniclus's arms resemble the generic meter for volume control, most likely referencing the ability to amplify its powers. Reuniclus also has a strong resemblance to a homunculus, due to its larger ears, mouth, and hands, to represent a homunculus's ability to amplify. It may also be based partially on an amoeba, with its arms resembling pseudopods.

Name origin

Reuniclus seems to be a combination of reunite, homunculus and possibly nucleus or cluster. It may also derive from unipolar neuron. Lanculus could be a combination of 乱 ran, disorder, or 卵 ran, spawn, and homunculus.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Zytomega From the Greek cyto- and megalo-. French Symbios From symbiose. Korean 란쿨루스 Rankulluseu Chinese (Mandarin) 人造細胞卵 / 人造细胞卵 Rénzàoxìbāoluǎn From 人造 rénzào, 細胞 xìbāo or 細胞核 xìbāohé, and 卵 luǎn.
