Dusk Form Lycanroc is a pure Rock-type Pokemon, similar to the type of the two other variants. However, this Lycanroc can learn both Accelerock and Counter; the two attacks exclusive to the Midday and Midnight forms, respectively. The Dusk Form also borrows aesthetic elements from the two variants. Its neck has four rocks attached to it like the Midday Form while having a mane that matches with the Midnight Form.
In addition, its has a unique ability called Tough Claws. This ability increases the power of attacks which makes direct contact with opponents. Also, it was seen in leaks that Lycanroc has an exclusive Z-Move called Splintered Stormshards. This Z-Move requires the move Stone Edge in order to use it. This move also has a special effect which eliminates fields effect in the battlefield like Terrain. These moves makes the Dusk Form Lycanroc much more versatile than the two other variants in terms of use or playstyle.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon comes out on November 17, 2017 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.
