Doubles Physical Sweeper Solrock (Levitate)
Solrock is a wonderful Physical Sweeper for double battles. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Solrock's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. The Shell Bell item option is to help Solrock recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge and Flare Blitz. With Levitate, Solrock is immune to damaging Ground-typed moves (except Thousand Arrows). Levitate also makes Solrock unaffected by the effects of Spikes, Arena Trap, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Rototiller or terrain effects. Keep in mind that Ingrain, Gravity, Smack down and the Iron ball item will nullify Levitate's effect.
