Following the soft reveal of a blurry Lycanroc Dusk Form on the front cover, pages from Japanese comic magazine, CoroCoro, have begun to leak and contain information about the new form!
UPDATE: We finally have clearer images of the CoroCoro leaks and can confirm the following info:
- There will be a “Special Rockruff” distribution for Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon from launch day until January 10th, 2018
- Confirmation that Lycanroc Dusk Form cannot be obtained through normal gameplay and seems to be tied to events
- Dusk Form Lycanroc is pure Rock-type
- When evolving into Dusk Form, Lycanroc can learn both Counter and Accelrock – which were previously Midnight and Midday form exclusives respectively
- It can have the ability Tough Claws, which boosts the power of contact moves by 30%
Have you warmed up to Dusk Form yet?

I wish they had more.
Wow?
Joe already translated a fair bit:
-Special Rockruff distribution coming alongside USUM launch
-Lycanroc Z-Crystal
-Dusk Form has access to both Accelrock and Counter
-Dusk form abilities is Tough Claws
Go Joe!
Maybe the Lycanroc jumping to the sky is a Z move animation
If that were the case then that would mean that the Z-Moves have a different background now.
A less bland one
Is it or Dusk looks better in the CoroCoro than it does in-game?
But anyways, the fact that it gets both signature moves from both forms worries me that there won’t be a Dawn form. :T
This
That
Same (bout the second part)
Yes about the second part.
I feel robbed by the fact that Midnight probably won’t get a recolor :/
I hope there’s a dusk form because if not, then there is no reason for dawn lycan to not take more of night’s characteristics like much of the fan art
Tru that, there’s not many night elements in Dusk form.
Btw you got the names mixed up 😛
Ohhh right lol
Dawn form is going to have neither signature moves. It represents about how competent I am at anything in the morning
Well I am certainly glad they gave it Tough Claws. Just with that ability I believe it will be stronger/more easily usable than the original forms. How much depends on how they handle its stat distribution.
I seriously hope they dont try to balance the stats between of the other two Lycanrocs. Its already a trashy rock type, they need to help it as much as possible.
I believe its optimal if it retains the Midday stats.
Ok without a doubt I’m using this thing now
Accelerock and Counter WITH TOUGH CLAWS….. Um I think I need to get this thing right now
I’m glad a new feature in this game has made you happy Earthen. Especially since it’s a new Pokémon (form) mid-gen. I’m also considering it but I usually like for me teams to be unique and I’m not sure how many people will want this new form.
I’m glad it seems to be better but then why do the other two exist?
So I think we all kind of forget that not every pokemon has to be competitively viable. Pokemon is after all for kids as well. Think about being a little kid and evolving this rockruff and it’s one form but then your friend does it and gets a different form and you two have no idea why because you haven’t used the internet to search it. There’s mystery. There’s intrigue. You all have different wolves and some are better than others. It’s a game after all, and making a new pokemon with this…I guess… gimmick is just going to increase the fun.
is that it for coro coro news?
Apparently there’s more Pokemon stuff in this Corocoro issue, but the guy who leaked it wont post anything else until its morning in Japan.
It’s always something with these leakers.
“I cant post now, I need to wash my hair”
“I will post later because Im tired”
Just upload the imagessss
In his or her defense, it’s nearly midnight over there.
It takes .5 seconds to upload to twitter (tbh Im not really mad btw)
It takes .5 seconds for a truck to hit someone. How does this relate to the matter at hand. I don’t know.
When you find someone with the same name as you 😮
Yoooo. How long have you frequented here. I actually joined an hour before sun and moon were leaked with this username.
Quit complaining. He doesn’t have to post squat.
It’s probably going to be, “there is big news in the next issue for Pokémon”. Not saying it’s a bad thing, since it is a promise and they usually don’t disappoint when they make announcements like that.
So why didn’t they just make rockruff evolve into this? What was the point of having two evolutions that are just weaker versions of this one?
Because Sun (Day) and Moon (Night)
??? That’s not a reason. Just call it Lycanrock
The missing k is quite annoying but we have to deal with the fact that it’s called Lycanroc and not Lycanrock.
Marketing is a thing
That’s not a good reason. There are so many marketable Alola pokemon. Dusk would’ve sold sun and moon just fine.
This is supposed to be some sort of fusion between two existing forms, and the other two existed for counter part and Sun and Moon stuff
Because they need to make money & introducing a new form in your newly announced games guarantees that
So this is a cash grab! Great…
What isn’t these days?
Alot of things?
Really? Damn, I wanna live where you’re living.
No…it’s an Ash Grab!
Just going to put this out there and say that if you’re going to say “New formes => cash grab”, then you must also apply that to Platinum. Though I agree that this should just Be Lycanroc, and not a new form.
First they made two forms. A solid wolf pokemon and a Werewolf pokemon, both were often asked for. Now when they thought about USUM they thought about making a fusion of the two forms.
But it doesn’t matter because there is no reason to ever use either of those Pokémon over Dusk
In USUM yes. The first two forms were created to be used in Sun/Moon, Dusk was created to be used in USUM
Counter is as useless as ever. But Tough Claws is awesome ( I assume Accelrock is a contact move)
Unfortunately it will probably still have a bad movepool and stat distribution
Yes Accelrock is. I checked.
And a bad type! I expect this thing going nowhere competitively
A bad typing can be saved by a good movepool and stat distribution. But in Lycanrock’s case it gets shunned in all 3 cases. At least ability is decent this time around.
I would be happy if it kept Midday’s stat distribution.
I just won a battle with Counter on my lvl 48 Lyacanroc v.s. a lvl.77 Oranguru yesterday
Does rock even pair well with any type?
Grass.
No.
But ground does.
Ground > Rock
Flying does pretty well with rock
Eh rock/fighting could be good offensively
Rock pairs well with Grass, Flying, Fighting, Dragon Somewhat and Fairy (cause Diancie is beastly)
I’m liking this form the more I hear about it. Can’t wait to see what other forms are left.
Woah… I always make jokes about tough claws with megas but something actually got tough claws and i love it
Well there is Barbacle. But it kind of makes poor use of it. But I agree with you, more powerful abilities for the new forms.
I’m complaining but I’ll probably use Dawn form if it exists :/
I thought it would get the ability
it aint easy being cheesy
Someone here said they found an evolutionary stone in Sage. What stone was it?
I heard a while ago someone found a Moonstone in a place called Starry Cave
I’m starting to like Dusk Lycan a lot more now. I know that they really shouldn’t have had 2 other forms in the first place if this is the “true” version of Lycan, but still combining the elements of both Lycans (like the moves, Midday’s speed, the little bit of bulk from Midnight) is probably going to give it a good use in competitive battling (still hoping it makes UU if that’s the case). Ontop of that, Tough Claws is going to rock (no pun intended) with this thing.
Is it just me, or is the colour scheme totally off in the scan? Is it just a scan issue?
Corocoro uses a different color template
UPDATE: Joe translate the page again with his own image software program, and he now says there’s NO LYCANROC Z-CRYSTAL
Well wasted opportunity, but I can suffice 🙁
Sigh
It’s ok buddy, Solgaleo and Lunala still have a chance
Nebbinum Z
Gets out of the bag and flees
*Always is a OHKO on the opposing Pokemon because Nebby has been unleashed
It’s really starting to annoy me how we got Lycanroc and people are complaining about it alot
Just be happy we got something folks!
I’m not going to blindly support everything game freak does
blindly supporting ≠ not complaining
-.-
I’m complaining because I don’t like it and I expect better from GameFreak
Just making a statement that the absence of complaints is not an indicator of a blind follower. Not everyone can be pleased, that’s reality.
Kurusu is saying we should just be happy that we got news. How is that not blindly loving everything they do? They are making some really questionable decisions
sounds good

SO does this confirm totems returning?
I mean totems share a similar theme to the wild battle
But this is obviously totem though
Oh nvm its wild battle mb.
We saw Totems (likely) in the very first trailer. I think this is the new Wild Battle theme. Totem Pokemon will obviously have a variation of this.
They basically went fully Bravely Second in using electric guitars for the Normal Battle Theme. I’m loving the change from a lead piano and xylophone to an electric guitar.
I really like Dusk Form and will definitely be using it in USUM
Same! I mean it’s just likable to me and if Unburdened’s leak he found is true, then it will get a second type
Even if it’s pure Rock I don’t mind. I just like how it’s a definitive Lycanroc. Plus I really like orange xD
Me too cause Rock is a type thats just usable to me and pure Rock types almost guarantee no overlapping types for me
Me too. I actually like this Rock type, and I need more rock types on my teams
Me too, I wonder if a dawn form exists…
I was thinking CoroCoro could possibly reveal a Dawn form, but since it didn’t, I’m not too sure anymore.
Same, I still can’t get over how awesome its colors are.
The green eyes fit it really nicely!
It’s shiny has to be a pink-ish color (if Dawn form doesn’t exist).
I will too if Dawn doesn’t end up existing
About to catch a Magnemite and a Growlithe at the Virbank Complex, so give me nicknames to give the two
Magnemite- Police Chief or Magneto
Growlithe- Growly or Enfuego
Enfuego sounds great ?
Steve for Growlithe
Any others for Magnemite?
I am still on the fence about Lycanroc Dusk. Tough Claw and Accelrock does make it seem kind of viable, but I am going to wait a little longer before I say if I like it or not. Here is hoping to it being able to one shot Drifblim. I guess next month we will see Lycanroc Dawn unless it’s in a trailer on Friday. It’s technically the first true week of the month so I suspect that we are going to get a small trailer for USUM if were lucky.
Hopefully Noctowl ate some of the pancakes Raichu was eating and gets a Flying/Psychic Alola form.
