Lycanroc viability

>>33207526
We have one extremely fuzzy image that is potentially stylized. Brainstorming for this is basically about as effective as it was before we got this information.

>>33207526
my guess is that it's gonna be a serperior 2,0 a fast bulky but meh offensive mon

Even with

85
115
75
55
75
112

That's really not all that good.
Throw in fighting, a useable movepool and no guard though...

But brainstorming is fun... it doesn't have to be "effective".

OP, Rock/Psychic will make this thing even more PU than pure Rock. So many weaknesses. So many.

Most likely this thing will be bottom barrel PU garbage; slightly better than Lycanroc Midnight (probably better speed) but shittier than Lycanroc Midday.

yeah I didn't really think that through... Though I'd argue that a "bad" typing and many weaknesses don't automatically deem it useless, no? It just needs a niche or unique role to fill. A good ability.
Maybe it gets a new priority Z-Move based on Accelrock that also lays out stealth rocks (similar to how Mew's Z move generates psychic terrain). This plus being a fast rock type with perfect accuracy stone edges (plus a broader movepool)...

A terrible typing is counterbalanced by great stats, abilities, and synergy with the rest of your team. I doubt this form will get anything extraordinary to warrant OU usage.

Furthermore, I don't think this Pokemon will be dual-typed. It is a hybrid of the other two forms, which are pure Rock.

>I don't think this Pokemon will be dual-typed
like I said, it was just an idea I didn't put much thought behind. Though I wouldn't rule out anything.

That's what I said, too. And I wonder what new Lycanroc's niche might be (if there is any)
