delet yourself
>>31439047
well, other than that, lycanroc is really fun to use, i've got a pretty decent set for showdown/in general if anyone wants to hear

Day mut needlessly hogs accelerock from may other rock types including night
>>31439710
No guard mutt is still better than day mutt. It'll only get worst when/if more moves appear

>>31439748
Nah, both dogs should have access to Earthquake at least to cover their Steel weakness. I hope when tutors are available at least they get something good.

Day dog is faster and has Accelerock, Midnight Doggo needs those moves to improve.

>>31439780
( not >>31439748 )
well, the least they get Fire-Fang as a egg move, it's good at times but not the best.

Adaptability should've been their shared ability instead of Keen Eye. Makes sense because Rockruff adapts and evolves differently. And make Midday Rock/Normal for Adaptability Quick Attack (it's so frail already the 4x weakness hardly matters).

>>31439810
Midnight Doggo takes advantage of it due to No Guard, but still, fangs are shitty coverage.

>>31439890
that's true, but still, it's what we get for now i guess.
well, i've actually made a set that is pretty effective and sometimes can sweep 1-3 pokemon.
midnight isn't that shitty really, it just is kinda
never used or so, been using it for OU (on showdown) and boy is it fun

>>31439931
I love Midnight Lycanroc but man, I wish GF wasn't retarded with the movepools.

>>31439950
I agree, i mean it's kinda useless
there are just like 3 or 4 moves that can at least serve some purpose

>>31439047
>more popular version has the shit evo
>stats and abilities are garbage
>the only purpose for this pokemon was nerfed into oblivion
It really was set up to be great, which was its downfall. it just blows in all departments and it stings the more because its design is great

Manectric already was. And yes, it is a "true" wolf pokemon.

>>31439978
Lol i forgot it had a mega
its shit anon

>>31440007
That may be, but it still has a better design than knuckles the echidna over here.

>>31440025
>Pointy things the forgettable mega
Sure.

That's because they gave every single Gen 7 pokémon family a new move, ability or both. The sole exceptions to this are some Alola forms, the UBs (which all share Beast Boost,) and, ironically, Lycanroc Midnight.

You didn't think they actually just forgot to give Musharna Comatose did you? They'll redistribute all the new exclusive abilities and moves to older mons in the nex games, including Accelerock I'm sure.

>>31439810
I'm still pissed that Sundoge has Sand Rush as an ability, but doesn't fucking learn Sandstorm

>>31439047
Lycanday should have Flare Blitz and Lycannight should have Dragon Rush or Outrage.

>>31440272
>Accelerock

"The user smashes into the target at high speed. This move always goes first."

Based on that, I think Archeops has a decent chance of getting the move in the future. It would be really nice for it.

>>31440225
>Implying Drain punch and Leech life are interchangable
>implying anything but fighting types would want a 75 BP move

What? What pokemon so desperately want Drain Punch? All the ones I can think of who would need it for coverage would rather have of of the much stronger moves that Fighting has no shortage of.

I bet you still put Brick break on all your pokemon

I like Midnight Lycanroc because its stance and attitude remind me of one of my favorite boxers.

Does it annoy anyone else that Lycanroc's two forms have different HP? Aside from that triggering my autism, that means they can't retcon them in the future for them to be able to change into each other.

Hey if we're playing that game. NIght TECHNICALLY is the only rock type that has no guard access. Not new of course but hey it's something.

>>31440486
I'm more annoyed by the fact that artists can't remember that the brown spike on its head is a rock, not hair.

I feel that annoyance. It's amazing how many get that wrong or make it black...

>>31439612
I keep getting this thing in recommended videos. I wish it would stop.

"You watched pimpnites stupid meme team videos a long time ago, you'll like this".

>>31440408
Imagine Rampardos with that.

>>31439047
The noodle arms on Lycanroc-N will never not be disgusting

>>31439047
Technically we had at least one(sometimes more) line of true wolf pokemon every gen, but idiots complain because it is not the exact kind of wolf they wanted.

>>31440495
It is something. Stone Edge accuracy is nice. Imagine if they decided to give it Fissure.

I just looked at a list of inaccurate moves. It would be really appreciated if Midnight form got:

>Cross Chop
>Iron Tail (It doesn't get this?)
>Mega Kick (Why not?)
>Hypnosis

Several of the multistrike moves also fit with Lycanroc, especially Bone Rush, because dog. I assume No Guard would make multistrike moves hit all 5 times.

>>31440517
This one speaks the truth.

>>31440617
I just got a little hard

>>31440678
No Guard wouldn't ensure that a multiple-hit move hits the maximum number of times, that's what Skill Link does. No Guard would just make sure that it never missed.

>>31439654
is that a teen wolf fan girls reference?

FUCK YOU KUKUI I'M A TEEN WEREWOLF

>>31440517

...where does it say that it is a rock?

>>31443388
>breaks bones with its rocky mane
Even ignoring that have you seen the dog ingame? That's clearly not hair...and it hates being pet there.

What is a good stats distribution for Midnight Lycanroc?

i love night wolf grew on me so much why are Alolamon so great.

>>31440678
Maybe he would get Iron Tail when the tutor update comes. For fuck's sake, just look the list:

- Iron Tail
- Element Punches
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Zen Headbutt

>>31441244
Right, but doesn't those moves hit two to five times BECAUSE of accuracy? Like if it's 85% accurate, it'll run the 85% chance of it hitting each turn.

>>31443741
I used to love Musharna. I would like to continue to love Musharna, but Gamefreak makes that very....difficult.

How do I make Lycanroc good? I felt that it fell short multiple times in my moon playthrough.

>>31444061
If that were the case, you'd hit 5 times almost always. It's always between 2 and 5, averaging a little above 3 hits every time.

>>31444083
Not sure what to tell ya. Moon dog was great for me...tho I helps the shiny one I chained had pretty good IVs

>>31444083
give it over 500 BST like the other shillmons Lucario and Zoroark

>>31444170
Midday Lycanroc
75 HP
120 Atk (+5)
65 Def
55 SAtk
65 SDef
120 Spe (+8)

Midnight Lycanroc
85 HP
115 Atk
75 Def
55 SAtk
75 SDef
95 Spe (+13)

Looks fine

>>31444274
Now why would day be the stronger one when night has big meaty paws?

>>31444061
That's not how it works. It checks for accuracy on the first hit, then determines how many hits it makes.

>>31444365
I would take 10 HP and gave it to its Attack stat.
