The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo have announced a brand-new form of the Pokémon Lycanroc, along with information on how to obtain it in the upcoming Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon video games.
In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, the Pokémon Rockruff could evolve into either Midday Form Lycanroc or Midnight Form Lycanroc. In the upcoming video games Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, however, a new version of Lycanroc will be available—Dusk Form Lycanroc.
Dusk Form Lycanroc
Type: Rock
Ability: Tough Claws
Dusk Form Lycanroc features characteristics of both Lycanroc Midday Form and Lycanroc Midnight Form. It stands on all fours and has behavioral traits similar to Midday Form, but when it attacks, its eyes glow red, much like Midnight Form. Dusk Form Lycanroc has a tranquil demeanor and always remains calm. This Pokémon is obedient towards a Trainer that it trusts. It has an intense fighting spirit, and as a result, prefers to do combat at close quarters.
Rockruff caught through normal gameplay cannot evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc. A unique Rockruff that can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc will be wirelessly distributed via Nintendo Network as a special early purchase bonus for owners of Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Ultra Moon. Players will be able to receive their Rockruff from the games’ launch on November 17 until January 10 2018. More details are planned to be announced later this year.

OH FUN it turned out to be a god damn marketing tool.
Just like Ash Greninja which no one bitched about?
Btw, you dont have to preorder to get it.
I wasn’t excited about Ash’s Greninja. That one was clearly promotional and tied in with the anime. I assumed they’d integrate this form of Lycanroc into the main game by introducing an alternate evolution method or something.
Dusk Lycanroc ties in as well. Ash is getting one (granted the dumbass will probably release it too.)
I like to nickname my Pokemon & if I wanted to get this guy, I wouldn’t be able to because most Pokemon attained through the network have something locking you out of nicknaming them. So this guy has fully become shit to me.
EXACTLY like Ash Greninja. Shame, really, since I actually liked the Ash Greninja design but since I couldn’t nickname it, I decided to keep my very first 6th gen Pokemon’s final evolution & didn’t bother taking Ash Greninja off of the demo.
