!!UPDATE!! [USUM News] New Pokemon Revealed - Lycanroc Dusk Form!

During today's episode of Pokénchi (a Japanese variety show based on Pokémon), Generation 7 director Shigeru Ohmori came onto the show and revealed a new form of the Pokémon Lycanroc. This form, named Lycanroc Dusk Form (or Twilight Form in Japan) has design elements from both of the other forms of Lycanroc. It is a quadruped, like Midday Lycanroc, but it has fur styled like Midnight Lycanroc. Its fur is also somewhere between the brown and red of the other two Lycanroc, being a nice shade of orange. Another thing to note is that its eyes are green, however they're red when it first evolves, and turn green after blinking. This was shown during the announcement, albeit briefly.

Not much is known about this new form, including how Trainers can obtain it, apart from the fact that it cannot be caught in the wild (unlike Lycanroc, who appear in Vast Poni Canyon). However, we do know that Ash's Rockruff will evolve into this new form of Lycanroc in next week's episode of the Pokémon Sun & Moon anime, so there might be some hints towards that in the show.

Anyway, that's all the news for today, but if you want more Lycanroc action, why not check out the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon thread here on LV? We've got threads for speculating on this new Lycanroc form, as well as one where you can generally be hyped about it! As always, stay tuned to LV for more news announcements!

That is Dusk Lycanroc. You're thinking of its "opposite", which would be Dawn Lycanroc.

 

This just in - CoroCoro has begun leaking, revealing a two-page spread on Lycanroc Dusk Form. This new form will have access to both Accelerock and Counter, which were the spotlight moves of Midday and Midnight Lycanroc respectively. Dusk Lycanroc will also have Tough Claws as an ability.

There is also details on a distribution for a Rockruff starting November 17, and it appears that it might be holding a "ルガルガンZ", or "Lycanrock Z Crystal", but this has yet to be confirmed. Stay tuned for more details.

 

Alright, the CoroCoro scan that was posted about above has been uploaded with a much clearer image, and as such, more information has been released about this new form of Lycanroc.

Lycanroc Dusk Form is a pure Rock-type Pokémon, being 2'07" (0.8 m) in height and weighing 55.1 lbs (25 kg). This form of Lycanroc can not be obtained through normal gameplay means, and will only evolve from the Rockruff that is to be distributed from November 17th, 2017 to Jenuary 10th, 2018 (similar to the Torchic distribution of XY, Beldum distribution of ORAS, and Munchlax distribution of SM). As a more aesthetics-related piece of news, its eyes glow red when it attacks, as it unleashes the fighting spirit of Midnight Lycanroc.

The Official Pokémon website for Korea has also posted an image of the Sugimori art for this new form of Lycanroc, not bothered by the text of the magazine article, but it was soon removed from the site. Fortunately, the Internet is a place filled with people who can click "Save as" very quickly, and as such we have access to this image, and a better look at Dusk Lycanroc's overall appearance as a result.

Please continue to check back to this thread for any more news regarding Dusk Lycanroc, and look out for other articles pertaining to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in the near future!
