Lycanroc Hinted to be Getting New Form(s)

by

The anime recently ended its weekly airing in Japan and teased the potential evolution of Ash’s Rockruff. There are several things that point towards a new form, or forms, for its evolution Lycanroc. Here’s what we’ve found:

CLUE 1: Evolution takes place at dusk

Based on the latest anime preview, it seems that Rockruff is beginning to evolve at neither day or night, but at dusk. This is played up as the sun straddles the horizon and Rockruff looks into the light as a strange green energy seems to illuminate its eyes. I’ve made a GIF so you can watch it below (but the full trailer is also on YouTube).

CLUE 2: Mystery products still unrevealed

We’ve posted about mysterious product listings before and there is also a new anime-related plush set to be announced on August 10… the same day next week’s episode will air.

CLUE 3: Pokémon Global Link placeholder image

Another mysterious piece of the puzzle comes from an image off the Pokémon Global Link website which lists Lycanroc as having not 2, but 4 forms. Could there be dawn and dusk forms coming as well? It seems to make sense based off of what the anime is showing us.

We don’t know how this mystery will end, so keep your eyes peeled for more new information coming soon! Would you like to see more Lycanroc forms?!

  4. I have the feeling that if its Dawn and Dusk that

    Dawn- Will be Green and because of Rockruffs eyes it will become Dawn

    Dusk- Either a Dark Blue shade or Violet color, but I wonder who will get Dusk in the Anime?

    • I think were about due for a new trailer. I think that they should start advertising for USUM relatively soon. If they don’t these games will have a short advertising window.

  11. In reference to the article. Even though there are two extra placeholder inmates for Lycanrock. I think there will be only one new form of Lycanrock. Back during the speculation phase of SM and the demo leak. There were placeholders after several Pokemon. These placeholder images were after the Totem Pokemon of those games. S the two placeholder images for Lycanrock could be one eco and one Totem. This is a convincing argument for me because there was a cutscenes in the USUM trailer of a Lycanrock that makes it appear like it is a Totem Pokemon in these games. So it might just be that they left that data in SM, kind of like how th Mega Lati twins were in X & Y’s data.

  12. If Lycanroc doesn’t get at least 1 new form I’ll eat my hat. this is just ridiculous. They’ve been hinting for so freaking long about hits and I just want info NOW!!! Wanna here what I think might happen? They only reveal the new form and nothing else. we then have to wait an entire extra month for any actual info on USUM hahhahahaha

  14. shit i gotta get ready for work…..at least tomorrow there’s a company BBQ which i’m totally gonna take as many leftovers as i can

  16. If we get new Lycanroc forms, I sure do hope they have a good sub type. As much as I love Lycanroc (Mid-Day form being my favorite of the two) I can surely say that they needed some attention, especially Mid-Night (tbh if its main move was fighting, I should have been Rock/Fighting with a bit more buff to its defenses, but thats just me). In all, let’s wait and see what will come (and hope they don’t pull a Bulbasaur on us like Joe was saying lol).

  17. So tomorrow will be the new trailer. Why d I know this? Well I was supposed to have all day tomorrow off, but now I have to work. why is this significant? My luck dictates that when I think I’ll have days off, but then have to work a bunch there’s usually an announcement lol

  20. I’ve heard rumors of Alolan forms for the Johto starters, but they are pretty unsubstantial so take it with a huge grain of salt.

    Reply

  22. Okay this bothers me… the amine did done some shit before…
    but this bothers me…

    Ash vs Olivia

    Rowlet and Rockruff tag battle… when it’s down to Lycan Rockruff decides to attack Rowlet and faint it in order to fight Lycanroc alone…
    In fine with the concept of fighting alone but what the fuck?! You can’t just faint your own teammate! That shits not okay! Not even goddamn Charizard did that sort of shit!
    I don’t care what the justification the anime made, you have to admit that by the Pokémon amine’s standards, this is kinda a dick move

  24. I really hope they are completely new forms and not weird fusions of the day and night forms. I’m gonna hate that.

    Reply

  26. Interesting that if there is a new form, it wouldn’t be the totem. If lycanroc is a new totem or even has a bigger role in USUM, why wouldn’t the new forms be the two you face depending on what version you chose?

    Reply

  29. I do think a new form or 2 would be nice, but maybe a further evolution for both would be better, making up for not so stellar stats. If it is a new form that’s another one for me to shiny breed. I wonder how it would differ from the other 2 in stats, ability and movepool. I expect it’ll be pure Rock again.

    Reply

  33. I dont think its a new Lycanroc form. I mean Dusk form? What would that even be? Day is already a wolf, Night is a Werewolf. So what could dusk be?How would that work in game? Dusk is such a small period in game.
    Im open to new form but I highly doubt it.

    Reply

    • If its not a new form, they wouldn’t create this much hype about it, nor release a ”?” toy of the Rockruff line on the 10th. Also doesn’t explain the placeholder on the PGL site

      Reply

        • If its just Midday or Midnight, why release a brand new toy line of them and label it ”?” lol doesn’t even make sense in the slightest.

          Plus the fact that Masuda has already said that we’ll have new Pokemon in USUM. Can of course mean existing ones that didn’t appear in the S/M Pokedex but knowing Masuda, its not that straightforward.

          Reply

          • Who even said its going to be Lycanroc? That could be referring to New Alola forms? Or just existing ones not already in Alola

          • Lycanroc has data for another form in Global Link.

            Ash’s Rockruff is close to evolution due to becoming restless, as stated by Olivia who would’ve owned a Rockruff at one point.

            The next episode features Gladion’s Midnight Lycanroc, Olivia’s Midday Lycanroc, and Ash’s Rockruff. The preview shows Rockruff glancing at the sunset, and its eyes glowing green.

          • Lycanroc has data for another form? So why are these just “clues” and why doesnt just include the link to Global Link saying that? There wouldnt even be a question for this right?

          • Paul included the placeholder image in the article though? Like it’s just a blank photo but it’s still a strong indicator that we are getting another form.

          • No problem lol i didn’t know you weren’t aware of this as it has been pretty common knowledge for a while now. It was discovered in September 2016 i think

          • But the games werent even out until November? Doesnt really sound like an indicator of new form

          • See thats why Im confused. I wasnt online from August 2016-November 2016. So I have no idea what this Placeholder thing is

          • Oh ok well the basic summary is that he hacked the PGL website (no idea why, probably for fun) and found this placeholder somewhere well hidden within the data. Most of us assumed that this 3rd form would be included in S/M at that point

          • Even if the placeholder image was without a title it is still an indicator of a new form lol ¯_(ツ)_/ ¯

          • Not reaaaally. It could just be they dont want to show it yet. Just because its covered doesnt mean new Pokemon

          • The placeholder is for a Lycan form, meaning it would’ve been placed after Lycan even without a title. No other Pokemon (besides Mimikyu I believe) has a placeholder.

            And it’s not a new Pokemon, it’s a new form ¯_(ツ)_/ ¯

          • The question mark image would’ve been placed after Lycanroc’s images

            Nothing else had this placeholder image

            Therefore, it would indicate something

            Can’t get simpler

          • Lolwut. Lit just said the placeholder would’ve been placed after Lycanroc’s other images indicating a relationship

          • I said the image would’ve been placed after Lycanroc’s others ones. It’s a yes and I don’t see what there is to get confused about?

          • Like Rockruff evolving during dusk even though there are two options for it to evolve into. We will find out there is a third form it can take. So the answer you are looking for is Yesno! A combination of both answers that you had once thought were distinct like night and day.

          • Because this particular toy line for Pokeshopper is of the Rockruff line? Confirmed by Paul Ryan himself, but he couldn’t get into too much detail yet because of an embargo.

          • #1. I didnt say it was bad
            #2. “Drop it” Some people still cant even handle we have went 2 (or 3) months without news

  34. So what do y’all think will be the stat spread of these 2 new Lycanrock forms/Rockruff Evolutions? I personally think that they will do the same stat spread as the other two forms but make them specially oriented.

    • See thats what Im wondering. Whatever they do cant be good.
      Defensive Rock sucks
      Slow Rock Sucks
      Special Rock Sucks
      Fast Rock was already used
      Rock types sucks

        • They do. But Im talking the pokemon. Unless they make another Lycanroc signature move (which I wouldnt be opposed to)

          Reply

        • Oh yea, kurusu sorry for not responding earlier. I just wrote what I thought Gamefreak might do for the Alola Johto starters. Here is my opinion on Alola Meganium for you to look at:

          Of course with the GS virtual console coming up there is a lot of speculation that there will be Johto Pokemon with Alola forms. And some people are hoping that the Johto starters will get Alola forms. So I tried to think of what Avenue Gamefreak would go with this and here is my conclusion. First, only the final evolutions will have Alola forms; in SM there were only 18 different Alola forms of 9 evolutionary lines. I believe that like the number of Megas in ORAS matched the number of Megas in XY, the trend will continue for # of Alola forms in SM compared to USUM. Thus if the entire line had Alolan forms that would be 9 already. The ability changes I listed are not really based on any correlations and are more like changes I would do to improve them. Please let me know what you think. And I will do the other two starters later, but for now my sister’s favorite starter of the Johto trio when we were kids.
          Alola Meganium
          Grass/Dragon
          Ability Change: Overgrow -> Queenly Majesty
          It’s evolutionary move Petal Dance will be replaced with Outrage (basically the same kind of attack) and at the very least it’s ATK and SPA stats will be switched. I know that we already have a Grass/Dragon in the case of Exeggutor, but the typing makes some sense. Meganium is based on a Sauropod which is a Dinosaur and has been associated with Dragon typing before (ex. Tyrantum) it is also able to learn Dragon Tail through TM. Grass/Ground could also be argued for since it learns two ground moves by TM and if Gamefreak does not wish to make a trend by associating Dinosaurs with Dragons. Also I know that Aurorus was a Dinosaur as well but it was part of Fossil duo, it was unlikely that they would have made them both of them Rock/Dragon. Especially with how few Pokemon (not including Megas) were introduced in the Kalos dex was.

    • I think it’ll either be one that happens at sunrise and sunset, or one that happens at sunrise and another that happens at sunset

      Lycanday is a fast physical, Lycanight is a slower attacker, so I’m thinking either specially based attackers or a true tank and a status spreader.

  35. Do you guys think we’ll get new moves? I’m hoping each starter gets a new Z-Move of the type that their current one isn’t, but I doubt it would happen

    Reply

  36. This new Lycanroc form is probably just another promotional stunt like Ash-Greninja. Won’t be an entire new Pokemon, but they want Ash to have his own unique partner which also creates hype among the community.

    Reply

    • Ash-Lycanrock! This explains why Zygarde was in SM. It’s in there so when it comes time in the anime to leave the region it will stop Ash and tell him that Ash-Lycanrock has to protect this tree and stay behind in the region. Brilliant!

      Reply

      • Zygarde wants to steal all of Ash’s best Pokemon in order to storm GameFreak headquarters and force them to make it a game

    • I really kinda hate Ash Greninja because it makes no sense. At all.

      How is Ash the only one who discovered this?

      Why is it in Sun and Moon?

      How come it looks like Ash no matter who uses it?

      Ash doesn’t exist in Sun and Moon so why does Ash Greninja exist

      WHY IS GRENINJA THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO THIS

      Reply

      • – It exists within the animeverse 100 years prior to the events of XY, so technically Ash didn’t discover it

        -Its in Sun and Moon to please the crybabies who were devastated about Ash’s loss in the final & releasing Greninja afterwards

        -Idk but as i said, its probably for promotional reasons

        Reply

      • I can answer some of these

        -It is slightly confirmed in the Demo that Ash does exist in the Games because of the Demo clearly stating it

        -Because of its ability it looks that way and I think it doesn’t look like Ash because of bond, I think it’s just coincidence

        -For why its in the Games, it’s to market it and not have an Anime exclusive thing

        -Like Unburdened states it exist a century before XY so Ash never discovered it

        -And note they knew Greninja was the most Popular Pokémon in XY so of course they will market it, they literally put it in Smash before XY came out!

      No but seriously Contrary Leaf Storm is the only thing it does right now. You run that , a Hidden power, and the rest of the set is up to you.

      For Ribomb it all depends on the type of steels your fighting. Ground in most cases unless you’re fighting Skarmories or something

      Reply

          • no i get it but like, do you want an entire content dump like last time? whats the point. we have confirmation that usum are real games. we have that short trailer with the necrozma lunala and solgaleo. isnt that enough to speculate with?

          • we also have the fact that gold and silver are coming to 3ds. similar to what was done with red blue and yellow. this is enough to speculate alolan johto pokemon

          • Well I don’t personally mind. I am busy enough as is. But there are some people on this forum who are complaining about how they revealed absolutely nothing. This is the probably the most we have talked about these games since the reveal trailer. Not including the times when some of us were complaining about the poor marketing strategy of Pokémon An example is, “why haven’t they revealed anything about these games” or “I am losing hope and this game may just be a reskin of SM”. For those who make comments like these any sort of news release is fantastic and the promise of more is better. Albeit, going from Pokemon’s marketing strategy they are probably going to do an info dump (which is why I used the phrase flood gates). It’s not that it’s something I want and I do prefer that there is an air of mystery for the game. However, with the pre-release of XY, ORAS, and SM I do not have any other expectations beside what I said before. Flood Gates. So I am just trying to get in a good mood for leak season.

          • and that is perfectly fine. I get it. even tho im not crazy hyped for usum. i would like news too but its not something to just go crazy about. youre perfectly allowed to be excited for the games. but like if you compare to other games only 1 year between in not too much of a drought imo

          • ok and so has the 2 second opening screens of oras. and idk. “what we can expect” to me sounds like more story based info rather than new pokemon itself.

          • oh come on starstorm, you know this isnt what i mean by this. Im just saying that we arent too far away from the games and for a lot of people it comes down to “its pokemon, of course im buying” and for plenty of others its “lets get on to switch already” you have been here for a while so you should know fully well that any info is never enough, whether referring to Pokejungle community, or pokemon community as a whole

    • like i get the concept of lycanroc, it fits the games. but i personally dont think they did the evolution right. why make it version exclusive? it shouldve been solely based on time. not time of the day and version.

      Reply

      • I just…….I don’t think I like Dobbs……It’s not like he’s crazy annoying or has a bad personality per se, but there’s just something about him that I don’t like. Like most of the shit in this video is stuff HE was wrong about and for some reason thinks everyone else was too. I’ve always known Golduck was just water…….It SHOULD be Water/Psychic, but it’s not like people are that dumb. Also the Jigglypuff part is just dumb too. It’s just animation inconsistencies not some magical hint at shiny Pokemon. Also how that a remembering thing? When Jigglypuff was introduced shinies weren’t even a thing. Whether it was a hint or not has nothing to do with you “remembering” it’s miscolored body and eyes……I get the feeling Dobbs likes to think he’s smart, but in reality doesn’t realize he says really dumb stuff sometimes………Sorry didn’t mean to be a bummer hahahah

      • Cuz that’s when it appears Ash’s rockruff is evolving. The anime made a point to show the sun setting during it. It could have been to point out that the sun is still there (aka still day time) but it also could mean it’s a new dusk form to be added along with a potential dawn form.

  144. Has anyone preordered USUM? Turns out my city has a way bigger Pokemon scene than I thought so I’ve preordered Ultra Moon, but the folks at my game store are nice enough to let you switch your version if you give them enough notice

  149. F*ck Ash’s Rocruff… I’m excited for the new form, but really, battle with Olivia should be Rowlet’s time to shine… He should evolve during the battle… A super effective Z-move, he’s been in the team the longest (pika doesn’t count) and lately he became less and less of just a comic relief… Rowlet has so much potential for being a great Dartrix and Decidueye, I just cant stand Anime wasting it just because

    • Calm down kid, shit happens

      Ash has had some amazing non-evolving Pokemon, and why should Rowlet evolve against Pokémon that mean nothing to it? Whereas for Rockruff, fighting its evolution works into its own arc rather than being a random shitty evolution made to appease to fans who have no idea what a good story is

      > Literally spent episode 35 sleeping at unfortunate times until the Totem

      Rowlet’s always been a capable battler and comic relief since its introduction

  158. So I started playing Pokemon Sage
    I mean its a fangame from 4chan it can’t be that good right!?

    ….jesus fucking christ I was wrong
    This might have legitimately been one of the best fangames, or even Pokemon experiences in general! I mean its kinda short but the creativity, story, hell even the soundtrack is perfect!
    And the mons themselves are pretty damn cool

    • Fertility: Meizette, spirits of the harvest. There’s many of them, and they inhabit crop fields blessing those they deem worthy. They are all birthed from the mother Eidemese, a Meizette who was chosen to ascend and act as a goddess of the harvest.

      Destruction: Aceris and Qalaryk, which were summoned to the world by magic wielders from opposing armies. Aceris is a centaur-esque horror that can spew acid, whereas Qalaryk is a feminine brute with alkaline properties. They are of equal strength, and it is said that when these beings of destruction come together they create something new. They are balanced by the benign Neuthair, who traps them in underwater prisons near two different islands until people prepare for their return.

      Had two scrapped duos but they were both removed when I turned the region from UK based to Scotland only based

  184. I may download Sage. the last time I played they only had 1 gym available and then there were rocks stopping you from leaving that town. That was a couple of year ago. I’m interested to see how it’s changed.

    Reply

  185. I finally beat Sage! At least the first three gyms
    I might just start another file
    And note, for those concerned, Insurgence will be finished soon, maybe by the end of the month
    Also, gtg for a bit

  188. My only complaint about Sage from over the years is that some of the Pokemon don’t really look like Pokemon. Some of their designs are a bit too different and drastic that it kills the illusion.

    Reply

  199. Honestly, I’m a little disappointed… Not about Rockruff getting another evolution (he’s on of my favorite Pokemon now!), but about the new games in general. No news on new Alolan Forms, the game seems like it’s just a slightly altered story, and then just one new Pokemon? I hope they show more about the games soon and announce some worthwhile things, or else this might be the first Pokemon game I have ever passed up since Yellow.

  215. Wanna hear a sad story? I lost my AC adapter for my 3DS a few weeks ago (it’s probably somewhere in my room, but I can’t find it), but luckily I have a car charger. However, that means if I run out of power and nobody in my house is going anywhere, I’m out of luck.

    Reply

        • Stay Sunny Ithsme?. If you find your old one after buying another one, then you can proudly say that you are the only person in you right house with 2 3DS AC adapters. Yea!! Spending money is fun (and costly).

          Reply

          • Haha, that’s a positive way to look at it. I’m gonna give it a few days and see if it shows up before it break down.

            On the other hand, I haven’t played MH in a few weeks and it sounds pretty good right about now.

  217. I bet you that on August 10, Game Freak will reveal “Twilight Lycanroc” and nothing else, then say “wait for more information on Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon next month!” I hate being a Debbie Downer but this is what I expect. Also, has anyone seen these images around? Some say they’re fake but the art looks pretty darn good either way.

  224. Using your own Fakémon, make a team of six for yourself. Only need to share name, type, and a short basis of your Fakémon.

    This is shameless promotion for the fanmon discord BTW, because I need you guys to spam it ?

  241. Now that that’s done, I’m gonna look for competitively good Rockruffs. They’re in Heavy Balls, have Fire/Thunder Fang, Sucker Punch, and Crush Claw. They only come with regular abilities. Who wants one?

  246. Downloading the new Sage demo now. I’ve always been interested in the demo, b ut they haven’t updated it in a while from what I saw so this should be cool to see. I’m surprised how many people on here actually tried playing it today hahaha

  262. I see that 3 of my Switch friends from this site are on Team Ketchup. Regardless, I’m sticking with Mayo until the bitter end. I’ll likely be playing until 2am because I’ll be gone tomorrow, so look out for me 😛

      • I’m so pissed…my internet has been dropping in and out since Tuesday and I got the message saying l’ll be banned if it keeps happening. So I probably can’t play any of the game tonight. WHY does this happen now when I’ve had perfect connection before?

        Reply

        • That really sucks. :/

          Reminds me of the early Splatoon days when my wifi was awful. I would get to play like one game per hour then, if I was lucky. It got fixed in time for the first splatfest though. Now the only thing I have to worry about is someone turning on the microwave (seriously does anyone else have this problem? Is this normal? We just got a new microwave, and this is new for me).

          • Actually, I think it’s working better now! We just had to reset our modem. So much for all that wasted time!

  266. I managed to make it to Mayo King, even with the constant threat of being BANNED due to my currently sketchy internet. Overall, I’d say wins and losses were about even, but our Mayo players could be pretty tough. Pull a win for me tomorrow while I’m in a car all day!
