    OK, so, there's been a lot of hinting lately that Lycanroc might get a new form in USUM. However, if you've read my "Mimikyu Unmasked!?", you'll know I'm a sucker for code diving, and ho boy do I have a doozy for you.

    Much like with Mimikyu, it was found that Lycanroc has two unknown forms coded into Sun and Moon that have no real data. So, it's possible that there's not 1, but 2 new Lycanroc forms on the way!

    From the anime, we can see that Ash's Rockruff will most likely evolve in the next episode (airing this Thursday), and it seems to do so while the sun is setting/rising (it's not really clear, but it's probably sunset), so that's when the "official announcement" will be, if we don't receive a trailer beforehand.

    Finally, if you can think back to when Rockruff was first announced, in an issue of CoroCoro magazine, they reported that Rockruff, along with the 3 Starter Pokémon of Alola, have a special "something" to them. When Lycanroc was first revealed, we instantly assumed we'd be getting Sun and Moon exclusives for Decidueye, Incineroar and Primarina (who hadn't been revealed yet). After it didn't happen, everyone wrote it off, saying "CoroCoro was referring to the Pokédex entries and how they talk about maturing through evolution." But, and it's a big but, if all the above speculation is true, it is possible that we'll be getting alternate forms of Decidueye, Incineroar and Primarina exclusive to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

    Post your thoughts below, and hop into the Discord to join the hype train!!

    Seeing new Lycanroc forms would be awesome! Because there probably won't be much in the way of new Pokémon in Ultra Sun and Moon, new forms are definitely something to look forward to.

    OK, so we've got the new Lycanroc form now, Dusk Form. Does this mean that we'll get a Dawn form too? There are 4 Lycanroc forms in the code, after all!

    Oh geez Lycanroc is getting all types of makeovers in this game.
    But hey, I'm not complaining.
    I just hope that the Pokémon Company are hiding much more than just a few dogs.

    I'm personally hoping that US and UM each have a separate new Lycanrock form.

    I am hoping that if we get new forms for the starters, that they are going to be radically different.

    From the looks of dusk form, the other form (Dawn form) will probably have midnight form as a base, but with elements of midday form. dusk form is the other way round. This combination of forms leads me to belive that the stats will be different, as they are with midday and midnight. dusk form may have a higher attack stat that midday, and dawn form may have a higher speed stat that midnight

    I don't think it really means anything besides a new movepool. Maybe it will be important, but I'm not entirely sure.

    This "Hidden Data" might allow SM to update with the new mons forms which would be nice if all we are getting is new forms... That my theory anyway

    I hope Dusk Lycanrock gets a gray shiny form that makes it look like Wolf Link. That is all.

    At first I was a little sceptical with the reveal when I saw a static photo of it; but then I saw the gif set of it and I guess I might give it a chance. It's pretty cool that Dusk Lycanroc is so brightly coloured (a green eyed ginger dog! Ahaha) and, to me, it looks like a fiercer version of the Midday form (think mama-bear wolfdog).

    And I had no idea about them starters though! I'm pretty stoked for a chance for the starters! Could it be that, depending on the version you get US or UM, the starter would receive a new evolution?

    I remember there being that kind of speculation when Sun and Moon were announced and the Spanish/Mexican had run an ad that heavily hinted at this idea where the final form of your starter would be different.

    What do you guys think? Different forms for the starters depending on their version? Yay or nay?

    Different starter forms would be AWESOME since I already have the full evolved forms of the original Alolan 3.

    US/UM is an alternate universe, right? It would make sense for prominent Pokémon to be changed. The Legendaries and Lycanroc are definitely different, there's a good chance for the starters, and I'm going out on a limb here and pointing to some other fan favorites. Mimikyu is a big one. Maybe Type: Null? Will Aether even be the same? Perhaps Pokémon like Bewear and Salazzle will get a chance.

    Solgaleo and Lunala (or whatever the new names are) seem to have almost been corrupted by Necrozma. That's some dark stuff for a kid's game, but Pokémon isn't pulling any punches recently. Will any other Pokémon be corrupted by Necrozma? I'm guessing the starters might.
