Solrock (Japanese: ソルロック Solrock) is a dual-type Rock/Psychic Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Solrock is a Pokémon that originally came from space. They originally came to earth within meteorites and have since adapted to life on earth quite nicely. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from sunlight.
Physiology
Solrock is a mostly orange, spherical Pokémon. Solrock has eight yellow-colored, rocky spines extending from the sides of its body. Multiple, small, yellow stony portions present on the front and back of its body form a vertical pattern. On its back are dual rocky mounds, situated to the sides of the ringing pattern. Solrock’s eyes are large and stylistic, consisting of thick, semicircular yellow eyelids leaving a black-colored slit in which the red pupil can be seen, with a ring pattern of three black extensions above and below each eye.
Gender differences
Solrock is a genderless species.
Special abilities
As it thrives upon solar energy, it emits bright light during battle, as well as heat waves whenever it rotates. This solar power it contains allows it to learn moves like Fire Spin naturally, as well as being able to learn other Fire moves by TM, such as Flamethrower and Overheat. Its psychic powers allow it to read the minds of others.
Behavior
Solrock appears to be an emotionless Pokémon, and instead seems to be affected more by solar energy. It simply floats to transport itself and will attack if necessary. However, it is still capable of reading the minds of others.
Habitat
As Solrock have been found in Meteor Falls, it can be inferred that they prefer caves, though they are also found in other areas with extraterrestrial activity.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
This Pokémon receives all its energy from the sun, alleviating the need to consume other foods.
