A bonus for all who get Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon at launch
The Pokemon Company has announced that everyone’s little favourite Pokemon Rockruff is getting a new evolution in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon, in the standard Sun and Moon games, Rockruff could evolve into either Midday Form Lycanroc or Midnight Form Lycanroc. In the Ultra’s, he can evolve to the new form, Dusk Form Lycanroc, but you won’t be able to get him through normal methods.
Any 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, check out the trailer below to see him in action.
Here are the details for Dusk Form Lycanroc, which will help you determine if you will use him in your quest to become the best.
Type: Rock
Ability: Tough ClawsDusk 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.
Ugh. Really wish if they’re gonna do this early adoption thing they make Mystery Gift available before you make a save file. I like seeing the intro in the same week I play the game proper, but these events mean I have to stop another game I’m playing, make a save file, get the event downloaded, go back to other game, and eventually get to the new Pokemon game having forgotten the details of the intro.
