A-At least it's a staple in smogon, r-right?
>cool design
It literally looks like a red recolored day form
I don't think so. It Will be an Ash esclusive on the anime. But a normale evo in the game.

It doesn't treat mythical Pokémon, Lore-wise.
here's reveal trailer for it
>SM encounter music plays out
>New Lycanroc form discovered!
>Ability: Keen Eye/Rattled
>Mirror Coat is a move that Rockruff can learn when it evolves into ______ Form Lycanroc. When Lycanroc takes special damage from an opponent, it deals double that damage back to the same opponent!

not lore-wise, but greninjash has only beenusable in an online competition where magearna was usable too
So can we finally agree that Lycanroc is the shillmon of this gen ?
Not that it's necessarily a bad thing
>>33208121
define shill
>>33208121
Hopefully the new one doesn't eclipse the old ones

Let's say it's the Pokemon that is the "most marketed" during a generation due to his popularity or just the will of TPCi.
For example you can consider Charizard, Lucario and Greninja shillmons (Don't know about Pikachu since it's the mascot)
>>33208121
2 appearances in the anime for each form, another appearance in the movie, and a special form which will likely be the ace this generation, yeah it probably is, not that I care considering they seem to have replaced Gladion's Lucario with one which is a plus in my book and I like the look of the Midday form as well as the new form from what I've seen and I'm okay with the Midnight one's design.

Well being the mascot is an automatic ticket to the shillmon palace, seriously, surfer pikachu, cosplay pikachus, luchador pikachus ash hat's pikachus an dmany many other variants for pikachu and the pikachu line, alolan evo for pikachu, spiky-eared pikachu preevolution, GF likes to shove pikachu down our throats

I don't think it wil be so good, its design barely changes I doubt the stats would change too much. Also i sill looks like a pure rock type and that can't be very good.
>>33207684
Why would it be so restricted? The battlebond greninja wasn't.... was it?
This new form is so stupid I call it Verlisify
It'll be nice to have a quadruped in Smash Bros. again.
>>33207684
is the new lycanroc is the new ash-greninja, who would be alan?
