Yes.

All of them pure rock type. How exciting.

>>33194036
Oricorio also have 4 forms. is it the new Eevee????

>>33194061
No. 4 different evolutions =/= 4 forms. Rotom is more of a Rotom case.

>>33194036
Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse forms

>>33194069
>Rotom is more of a Rotom case.

>>33194069
Lycanroc also doesnt have 4 different evolutions, they're all called Lycanroc

>>33194076
Meant Oricorio

>Is Rockruff the new eevee
Where did OP say Lycanroc???

>>33194061
Evolution

I hate this mon because it makes no sense that it is Rock type.

Why a dog? Rock types are usually actual rocks, heavy and solid. This is a fluffy puppy. It makes no sense, its just forced.

>>33194095
Agreed, I'm glad that Rockruff wasn't the Rock/Normal Pokemon I've always wanted.

>>33194070
Total Eclipse of the Heart forms

Lycanroc would be so much better with secondary types.
I can see Midday form being pure Rock and the "natural" evolution to Rockruff. But Midnight definitely should have been /Dark or /Fighting.

>>33194095
Because dogs rock

>Dawn Lycanroc from 4:00 to 5:00
>Midday Lycanroc from 5:00 to 17:00
>Twilight Lycanroc from 17:00 to 18:00
>Midnight Lycanroc from 18:00 to 4:00

>>33194092
>>33194093
Who cares? It evolves into ONE Pokemon

>>33194124
This, 100%

>>33194124
>Rockruff is inspired by a poi, a now extintct hawaiian dog
>Some villages on the islands would give newborn children a poi as a companion. If the child died before the dog, the dog would be killed and buried with the child, so they could be together in the afterlife.
>If the dog died before the child, they would make a necklace out of the dog's teeth and give it to the child, so the dog would always be with them in spirit, hence Rockruffs bone collar
>Anime Rockruff sees a green flash at sunset that potentially triggers it evolution
>An old sailor myth claims that the green flash means that "a soul comes back to this world from the dead"
>New Lycanroc form is a Rock/Ghost inspired by a poi spirit coming back to life

>>33194095
Yeah, screw variety, everything should be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the name of the type.

>Water pokemon
>is not water

>>33194124
>can see Midday form being pure Rock and the "natural" evolution to Rockruff.
That'd kill the day-night duality thing the gen has.

Granted, if it gets two new forms those might also do that.

Hawaiians are sub-human.

>>33194036
>it's just midnight and midday Lycanroc
Can't wait for you faggots to be BTFO, there is no new doggo form. Anime Rockruff will either refuse to evolve or become Midday form, end of discussion.

>>33194258
Well, duh, have you seen their eyes and skin tones?

Lycanroc Midday - Rock/Normal
Lycanroc Midnight - Rock/Dark
Lycanroc Twilight/Dusk - Rock/Ghost

All fairly unique typings, and they'd make a neat triangle. Day and Dusk immune to each other, Night supereffective against Dusk and Day and Night both 4x weak against Fighting while Dusk is immune to it.

>>33194444
See the point now?

also, nice quads.

No, those are lycanroc's evolutions. You see, my son's boyfriend works at gamefreak and he told me what the whole deal with lycanroc is. Basically John Gamefreak wants Lycanroc to be the new lucario. Lycanroc has a new form, the twilight form. Lycanroc can also evolve by merging with this new form. Depending on the time of the day you get 4 possible evolutions:
>midday+twilight during daytime= sunrise evolution
>midnight+twilight during the day=dawn evolution
>midday+twilight during the night=sunset evolution
>midnight+twilight during the night=dusk evolution

>>33194036

I hate this month because it makes no sense that it is a Fire type.

Why a dog? Fire types are usually animals associated with fire, or actually have fire on them. This is a fluffy puppy. It makes no sense.

I think you'll lose this bet.

wait so is there a chance of there being two new forms for rockruff?

>>33194652
>ur

Is the thing getting one form or two???
>>33194398
>rock/dark
Go sit in the corner and think about your life.

>>33194843
Very likely since there's two versions.

The question is why reserve a spot for just one Pokemon that will be arguably released for the next game??? It doesn't make sense to me but hey to each his own

Eevee and it's evolutions have oodles of porn. I like the way you think OP

>>33194940
Mimikyu has one too and they were both in the trailer for USUM.

there's a merch reveal in the same day, I wonder who's gonna show first the new form

Anon, those are his evolutions, i would believe if it was just one spot, but 2 new form? I don't think so

Does nobody remember that this pic is from last year? I was assuming OP was just using it as a placeholder.

>>33194036
Dumb newfags, this was from before SM even came out (before Lycanroc was revealed)
They were just the 2 Lycanroc

>>33194036
theres only 1 new form the other is totem lycanroc

In the Global Link there aren't listed totem forms, there are two new forms maybe

>>33194036
Just realized that post is from 2016. We are only getting one form guys.

>>33194036
I think yes because just like eevee all its evolutions suck competitively lol

This particular pic is from 2016, but the ones for this year indicate we're getting atleast a few new things

I'm assuming 2 of these are Ultra Solgaleo and Lunala, but you never know, they've surprised us before

>people STILL don't understand what the PGL placeholder images mean after it's been explained a gorillion times

Listen up nignogs. The PGL has placeholder images for Raticate Form 2, Mimikyu Form 2 and 3, and Lycanroc Form 4. The games' internal numbering system for forms starts at zero. All Totems except Wishiwashi are coded as distinct forms, and there's a separate Totem version of each of Mimikyu's two forms. Thus the placeholders for these two Pokemon are already accounted for; Raticate-2 is Totem Raticate, Mimikyu-2 is Totem Mimikyu in Disguised Form, and Mimikyu-3 is Totem Mimikyu in Busted Form. They are NOT getting new forms in USUM.

Lycanroc is a different case however. The placeholder image is labeled Form 4, but Lycanroc currently only has two forms, Form 0 (Midday) and Form 1 (Midnight). This means there are three forms unaccounted for. If Midday Lycanroc is a Totem in USUM (which its appearance in the trailer seems to indicate) it stands to reason that Midnight Lycanroc will be a Totem in the opposite version, like Gumshoos and Raticate in SM. Also, it's pretty much a given at this point that Ash's Rockruff won't evolve into either existing form, and a new form halfway between Midday and Midnight (the so-called Twilight Form) would make sense and would explain the placeholder numbering.

TL;DR: There's only one new Lycanroc form and the two existing forms are Totems in USUM. Now quit being retarded.

This also bring up an interesting question

Since it's pretty clear Lycanroc midday/midnight are going to be Totem Pokemon, That means that they're a part of a Rock Type Trial, despite us already having a Rock Type Kahuna

So does this mean that the Kahuna's get their own Trials and Totem Pokemon now? Does Olivia get a new Ace in a new Rock type Alolan Form? Or does Akala Island get a new Kahuna?
I think we're in for a few shakeups

>>33195178

>just a new dog no one asked for and two necrozma forms
this game is going to be shit

The bigger question is if this thing is gonna get different stats from the other two.
Pure rock with 487 base stats is not gonna cut it unless they min max like crazy.

>>33194844
>you'r

>>33195400
If they make it the Lycanroc Kukui uses in the games instead of Midday, I'm expecting a decent boost since he's the "final boss"

Woah wait, if supposed lycanroc form truly is psychic rock, would they give it psychic fangs for stab? (Lilipup can get this via breeding unironically)

>>33194095
It's a pet Rock :^)

>Lyranroc became fully charged due to its bond with its trainer

>>33194095

Those little brown things in his mane are rocks. It shows this further with its midday form evolution.

gamefreak QA tester here
there are 24 forms each representing the hours of the day

>>33195575
I haven't played S/M and don't really have an opinion on most of the gen 7 mons, but this post made me like this rock dog. Good on u anon

Rant about it in the drawthread discord, don't post your opinions here

>>33194957
I keep seeing people saying this, but they provide no proof of it. SciresM never posted about it either.

Are people confusing it with the Totem stuff?

so Sun and Moon is basically rushed game just to release something while working on an expansion pack

Would call bullshit because asking people to play Pokemon at 4AM would be a stupid idea, but with Moon version having inversed time it can work

>>33198789
why bump this though?
It's not even remotely the same concept as eevee

/thread

>>33194095
Rockruff at least looks slightly rock related with the stone shapes on it's fur.
There is not excuse for Lycanroc though. The 'spikes' no longer look like stone, they look more like typical canine claws. Night form makes this even more apparent, making them look like claws for what is some kind of pelt hanging off it's back,

>>33195346

The PGL site doesn't reserve spaces for Totems. There's extra Mimikyus and (not pictured here) extra Lycanrocs. SciresM tweeted about this last year.
