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’d like to see a Pokemon MOBA. Like Smite or Overwatch. It Could be set in a post apocaliptic future with No humans, Where teams of pokemon have to survive. That’d be really cool…
I’d like to see a more mature take on Pokemon. I mean, it could’ve happened with SMT X Fire Emblem since it was originally going to be Pokemon X Fire Emblem. I’d still like it to be a JRPG, but I’d picture it could be made by maybe Atlus.
Another thing there’s no meaning of making dusk form look much like midday one if there’s no another from looks like midnight form all ppl go for dawn form and I can’t blame them it have midnight hair and glowing eyes yeah it should be something in between and have the midnight shape but if the dusk means sun have disappear wat makes moon disappear??? Eclipse ??
this pkmn kind worshiping the sun I mean these forms looks like transformation.

Dawn is Sunrise, the moon disappears as the sun ‘comes up’.
not really
That’s why people of Alooolaaa

tbh I didn’t expect him to say this. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1502219350724.png
Well, people shouldn’t be expecting a full open world just yet which i see a lot of people throwing around. but I am hoping for an above average pokemon game on the switch, and the bar is set pretty high
I am also very happy we didn’t get Stars for the switch, if we are getting a pokemon game on the switch I would rather have a whole new experience.
In all honestly I really don’t regret taking a break from this place. I’m not trying to pull the jelousy card, but that’s honestly how I feel. I love a little bit of satire but overall the discussions we have on here are rather childish are in the end, meaningless save for a handful of exeptions. Without having to worry about sticking around and contributing to the activity of GoT, I joined a G+ community. The people on there are extremely mature, knowlageable, and overall very cunning with their wording and structure. They abided by the laws of their words, and let them do the work, and that made them incredibly infulential, and not only that, actually fun to be around. I don’t even have to actually know them or be close to them to understand them. Their sentances truely speak for themselves, and I can paint a picture of what are like in real life, which is important if you want to strengthen a bond. I get to not only improve skills I have, but also have a good time with people I consider to have a rather decent connection to. I can also relate to them a lot because they all had similar pasts to me, full of cringeworthy and childish agendas, and but eventually they broke out of their shells and became the knowlageable, influential people I know today. Overall, I do believe that the G+ community I joined changed me, and made me progress as a person, something GoT couldn’t have done in a thousand years Honestly after seeing those results i’m not sure if i can live with myself anymore. we’re all friends here and its quite obvious that we still have our differences despite the fact that we’re all friends here even though we have our subtle differences. those results though made me think differently of all u.. like people that were onces my friends slowly faded out of existence like that one episode of wizards of waverly place when they traveled back in time and accidentally made it so their parents didn’t meet. kinda like that. not only has i been changed abundantly but so has my self. so yeah. got that off my chest. thanks for reading and heres to a better future. together.

I don’t understand the point of this post. We’re just pissed. It’s ok to be frustrated at something.
Honestly different communities are for different people. I feel like most people on this site are like friends to me at this point. I don’t know what to say
What are you pissed about?
USUM in general
why
Because it’s being advertised terribly. I don’t know wtf it is (sequel,AU) because they have never even explained it.
Everything about it looks like a cash grab. Alternate Story is really easy to make when you already have all the assets. Lycanrock Dusk is the least creative Pokémon in forever. It’s also event only and pure rock type so it’s basically pointless
GameFreak is hardly mentioning it and it seems like they just want to make money before the Switch game.
Everything about it is looking really bad and now with only a couple months left they still haven’t showed anything that represents the actual game
I think we will get new info at worlds
Coming from experience of reporting about “third games” and remakes for almost a decade now, this amount of info (or lack there of) for a third installation/remake/alternate story into a generation is incredibly common. During Platinum’s pre-release we essentially only got two new forms, and a reveal about the Distortion World and the Battle Frontier. And for B2W2 the only new stuff we got was a look at characters and some places after the time jump, and Black/White Kyurem; and both of those examples were over a few months. In my opinion, I think the fandom is a bit spoiled and has gotten a bit too used to getting LOTS of info pre-release as opposed to previous generations pre-releases. Although part of that is because of the natural shift in marketing strategies recently, so TPCi does everything differently nowadays. And when you think about it up until this point, for the past half decade, we’ve only had new games (XY, ORAS, SM) – no back to back remake or alternate storyline (DP, Pt / BW, B2W2). The main difference between alternate storyline games is the story, and that’s a bit hard to go into detail and hype up without giving everything away.
As of right now, we only know that USUM is an alternate storyline/take on SM, that the storyline has something to do with Necrozma, and that there are three new forms. And when you compare that to previous third games at this point in their pre-release, it’s the same amount of info.
That being said, this Dusk Form reveal is only the beginning of USUM’s pre-release – so hold on, ’cause it’s only going to pick up from here!
Bringing our copypastas to other sites?

Sorry I can leave………….
I am not the one that sent them here, sorry that he is here.
I am from this site, a moderator there, and I would like to clear up the air that we are not a trashy disgusting site. We just have a troll or two. I’ll talk to them. We are a normal discussion site and I hope you won’t apply whatever was said in that comment to all of us.

Oh oops. I’m on a phone so it’s easy to misclick
i know this is completely unrelated to the article but i was curious if anyone saw the gamecube on switch virtual console rumor. thoughts?
I hope its true, I want to play Wind Waker on my switch.
I mean, I’d much rather get a port of Windwaker HD for 20 dollars but I will still be ecstatic if this happens.
that would be cool, i am one for old style games being ported tho lol. something about what they first looked like really gives me a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for how amazing a game could be compared to now
same and there are a lot more gc games i would love including one included in the rumor, sonic dx
I just want to play Luigi’s Mansion, I have never played it and I would love to.
same! i didnt like the 3ds one, but i liked the gc one would love to have that. best part is the fact that you could take switch anywhere. if i had to pick a first game tho it would be Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, hands down, no questions asked
I have never played that one either, I have missed out on a lot of gamecube games because I was too young to play them, I would love to play the fire emblem games on the console.
you totally should, PoR is one of the better ones by far
Yeah, I have heard great things, I have considered picking it up on gamestop website but i just havent yet
The fact its 90 dollars doesnt help either
gamestop??? man, good luck with that is all i can say. it is probably not available and will never be. also its expensive, one search on amazon or ebay and your jaw will drop
Ill check out amazon and ebay then thanks
no i mean its much more expensive on those sites
Oh, thats not good.
Should I go with emulation then?
i mean if you do emulation then go for it. idk how ebay works i see one on there for like 75 but it says 13 hours left so my guess is its an auction or something?
Ill either go with emulation or wait out for VC.
if they freakin release it on vc im buying the second i find out its on there. no freakin joke, they would never ever release a game for 90 bucks on VC but even something like 30-40 i will probably buy, seriously. Its the one game i need on emulation. i have mainly the jp only ones
then i have one gba game on my 3ds from ambassador program and the other one on wiiu eshop
Hell yeah to that! It’s even worse trying to find either of the CG fire emblem games EU. It’s the one games I litrally have to port. I cannot justify playing over 150 in some cases. It’s going to be so funny if they do go Eshop it and suddenly all these overpriced eBay ones get no bids.
omg yes. no joke i have always thought that! just watching all the bs prices to meaningless when VC ports finally arrive. i will say the prices are somewhat justified by the games’ rarity. YOu have to remember awakening was the first ever fire emblem game…. as in it only got popular from here
I can’t believe that Nintendo is actually going to rerelease that mess
what?
Sonic Adventure DX
i mean adventure 2 is like 10000000x times better but i still enjoyed DX a lot
DX is a rushed buggy mess and I don’t understand how people defend it
i mean i dont disagree. but its just a really fun game is all lol
Is it though?
it is lol. but i guess im biased cuz i played SA2B first before it and its by far my favorite sonic game of all time. yes i know dx was buggy but it was fun. it still had chao garden. it still has fun gameplay
Knowing Nintendo thy would just remake the console and sell that. But they should make Virtual console for GC games. They are really popular. I would buy switch for that
lol right? knowing nintendo they will make gc classic and nobody will be able to get their hands on one. i think it would be better for them to start on switch to help with switch sales then screw people over with another impossible to get classic
Wait GameCube on switch rumor? I hope it’s true because I would love to have Luigis mansion and mario sunshine on the go when I finally get a switch!
washh sent me
Okay.
noo
Ya exposed lol
-.-
So Dusk Lycanroc confirmed to be even Only and Rock type.
Now I am starting to dislike USUM more
Welcome to my list of least favorite Pokémon. Sitting right behind Jynx
Hey now!
Jynx is critical of you want to take down Clair.
Not really. Swinub is way better and you can catch Dewgong and Cloyster by the time you get to clair
That may be.
Red Chocobo just really sold me on the idea of Jynx in the Crystal LP.
Oh another unrelated thing i wanted to mention, anyone see that apollo justice aka ace attorney 4 is coming to 3ds eshop??? so excited, the only one i have played besides the newest one that i didnt care to buy
havent*
Why would they make it event only -.-
Idk but ill still use it.
It’s really annoying for me personally because I REALLY wanted to use it on my team but I hate using event Pokémon. I want to be the OT not some random name. It’s exactly why I didn’t use the event torchic or beldum in x and Omega ruby.
It’s like they WANT this game to do bad
I am starting to wonder with how they have handled it. They barely gave it an announcement in June , announced Pokémon switch a week later and then were tight lipped since. Fast forward to now and this is all we really have and then they are like yeah you can only get it by event btw ^.^ it’s really off putting for me personally
They’ve done event-only Pokemon in the past and it’s only one Pokemon… nothing too major or upsetting about this decision. As far as I know, the Rotom forms were treated the same way.
That is true but it’s still aggravating since I am one of those people who likes to be the OT. All I know is they need to announce something soon because I really not that hyped for USUM at this point.
I can understand that, I’m not a huge fan of Wifi events either. Honestly I have mixed opinions about the whole news drought, because I don’t know if it’s because they’re keeping the game under wraps for the most part or because there really isn’t much to say. I honestly don’t mind if we’re in for some major changes like Gyms and new Ultra Beasts and we don’t find out until very close to launch, but as time goes on expectations also get higher. Maybe we’ll have answers soon, don’t lose hope! Gamefreak doesn’t disappoint too often.
Maybe it’s because of how much news we were given with sun and moon. we pretty much knew the whole pokedex before the games came out. I do wonder how they will approach the news with the generation 8 games because of this.
Yeah, I have the same thought. There were few surprises left with the demo datamine, and it was disheartening to see another Pokedex lacking in numbers. Hopefully this will change with time.
Honestly a part of me wouldn’t mind them just revealing the cover legends and the starters and let us discover us the other Pokémon ourself. Maybe reveal 5 or so other Pokémon With them but not too many. Don’t even reveal the starters evos. I want the feeling of gen 3 and 4 again. Picking my starter and knowing how it’s going to turn out!
Gonna be honest… I’m not too sure how I feel about a event-locked evolution to a non-event Pokémon. It seems very out of character for the Pokémon Company to do this. I hope we get new forms that aren’t event locked. Because two Necrozma looking forms and a event-locked form isn’t making me want to buy the game at the moment sadly..
Exactly what I am thinking. I am usually always hyped for new Pokémon games. But with ultra sun and ultra moon I feel my hype slowly leaving and I feel more excited for the gen 2 games coming to the eshop. It hurts saying that because I love the Pokémon games.
Yeah its quite a shame. I really hope they change my mind quick. At the moment it isn’t looking good with just three months left to the release..
I am really hoping hey show us something soon to draw me in. Please give me something . New alolan forms, return of gyms something. Just give me something that doesn’t make me scratch my head
Nintendo please take over Pokémon.
So maybe was just me, but as a child, but I didnt know Wifi events were a thing until Gen 5 (Thats seven years after I started playing)! So I really wonder how kids of today will know. Zorua and the Zoroark thing was a stupid idea because for being cool pokemon they were locked from kids. And once I realized it was a wifi event the DS only used one type of wifi which I didnrt have!
What type of Signature move is Counter? What type of move is Counter? On a rock type? With probably low HP and defense!
I know it’s way too early to expect an answer, but what makes this event Rockruff so special? Why can this event ONLY evolve to dusk and not others? Why cant normal Rockruff evolve to others? (I expect answers in game)
I really wish this thing was bigger than the average day Lycanroc. Just a little thing.
The eye thing is pretty cool. But eyes turning bright green to red when attacking is weird.
Lastly, on the right page there are two pictures to the right of Dusk Lycanroc Leg. The top picture its fighting a magmortar. The bottom picture I cant tell what its fighting at all. Any guesses?
It is a Alolan Raticate from what I can tell.
I was oblivious to Wifi events until recent too, so I definitely understand you there. I don’t think there will be a huge backstory behind this Rockruff, and it would be a stretch to attribute the changes to Necrozma or anything since it can’t be found through regular play. And the Dusk Lycanroc is indeed fighting an Alolan Raticate xD
Lol I thoought the white chubby cheeks were its eyes
lol can i just say how happy i am that im not the only one not quite satisfied with usum yet?
there’s not much reason to be haha
but i was told i am a troll for not being satisfied like 5 days ago lol what changed?
people have their own opinions but im siding with yours
It’s pretty sad. Normaly it feels like forever till the game releases because it’s all I’m thinking about. This time it feels like it’s flying by. I really hope they fix this soon. There’s so many good chances for Alolan forms. Such as Shuckle, Dunsparce, and Qwuilfish. Just to name a few!
I think it normally feels like forever until the games launch because it is a long period of time–somewhere around 8-9 months from announcement to launch for both XY (Jan-Oct) and SM (Feb-Nov). USUM were announced back in June with the release coming in November, which is almost half the waiting time we’re used to. It seems odd that with three months left we know little to nothing about the games, since SM news came at a steady pace. This could mean that the marketing strategy is different this time around, and the majority of the game could be kept as a surprise, or maybe there really is little to say about the changes without spoiling them all. Never has a third version gone to waste, though, so I’m keeping my hopes up 🙂
Very well said. I’m gonna still hold onto that hope. Hopefully it’s not misplaced. Lets hope for something good this month!
Absolutely 🙂 gotta keep the positivity around here! It seems to fade during these dry news periods.
No one’s satisfied, I’m just overly hopeful
I am happy I am not the only one either. Felt weird not feeling hyped for a Pokémon game. I am more excited for the new metroid game and the mario and Luigi remake.
if i hadnt already bought super star saga on wiiu eshop like a year or so ago, id care for the remake. its on 3ds which i can barely play (altho echoes is keeping me on it) if i had the spare money sure
I’ve been a fan for almost my whole life (though I only started playing the games 7 years ago) and I’ve never seen them screw up so badly
With my slightly annoyed comments out of the way I guess I should introduce myself somewhat. I used to be in the forums until recently. Had to leave it due to some personal issues there. Anyway here I am now finally commenting on the main site and it feels good to be here! Hope to post here more often
We’re happy to have you in the comments 😉 Hey Josh
Thanks pj! And that moment you probably know who I am lol that said I love your site most of the other ones because people are free to discuss things including rumors. It feels like home I guess? Like I feel comfortable here if that makes any sense
Recently joined as well! Used to be a lurker I guess. Pokejungle is one of my favorite sites to check on the discussion. I was just too annoyed to let this one go though. I had to voice opinions and chat with others. Feels good! Glad I’m here. 🙂
We’re glad you’re here too :p The comments are basically why I run the website; love to hear everyone’s thoughts, even if I don’t have time to contribute much outside of writing the articles most days
That sounds wonderful! Can’t wait to get to know you and everyone else more! 😀
I have been lurking on the site myself as well. Had another discus account before but forgot the password so made this one lol
Warm welcome to you 🙂 We’re all one big loving family and new members are always appreciated. I’m Dicie, favorite Pokemon is Dedenne… yeah that’s about it. Enjoy your stay and let me know if you ever need anything!
With all the dispirited comments I’d just like to add that my hype was struggling to keep up for new information and now it’s officially drained out. Now I’m seriously looking forward only to the switch RPG
