Lycanroc Hinted to be Getting New Form(s)

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?!

  1. 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.

        • 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).

          • 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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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 ?
