Solrock (Japanese: ソルロック Solrock) is a Rock/Psychic-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

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. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air and is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and is usually a last resort. It is also capable of generating its own heat to create fire.

Gender differences

Solrock is genderless.
