Trivia

• Solosis is tied with Abra for the highest Special Attack of all unevolved Pokémon.
• Solosis and its evolutionary relatives are the only species of Pokémon to learn Thunder but not Thunderbolt.

Origin

Solosis 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 the stage of morula.

Name origin

Solosis may be a combination of solo (singular) and meiosis or mitosis (cell division).

Uniran may be a combination of uni (prefix meaning one) and 卵 ran (spawn). It may also refer to se unirán (Spanish for "they will join together"), as Solosis appears to be made of two parts.
