So that's half of the Kahuna battles and a majority of the trials dealt with, just over half a year into the anime.

I mean, it's true that the game lets you face the Olivine and Fuschia gyms in the order you like, but you're still actively driven to one of the options by the game, the game has an intended order, just because they didn't enforce it, I wouldn't call it non-linear.

So this is interesting. Is Ash's Rockruff potentially evolving into a third form? Apparently Rockruff is going to evolve "soon" and this is part of the preview for the next episode.

Both Lycanroc forms have been shown pretty recently in the anime so it. Ohmori is supposed to be on that Poke-whatever it's called now this week and new movie merchandise will be out within the next few days as well. Not to mention that Lycanroc placeholder on the Global Link.
Though it could be nothing and they're just trolling everyone.

Can we talk about how he basically swept another Kahuna of not for friendly fire lolSo that's half of the Kahuna battles and a majority of the trials dealt with, just over half a year into the anime.

This is the strongest Ash.
Maybe since we are canonically Champion, it's his turn too.
Hmm. Let's say we do get a new Lycanroc. Are we just expecting US/UM to not be fully compatible with S/M a la OR/AS?
Wouldn't Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon be to Sun and Moon what ORAS was to XY?
Later versions having new Megas/Alolan forms and move tutors but could still battle with players who has the earlier version. You wouldn't be able to trade the new forms to the older version though just like you couldn't trade the new Mega stones to XY.
Yeah but in OR/AS it was easy to implement since Megas require an item and are temporary. I'm wondering how entirely new Pokemon forms would be handled. Then again I never tried playing OR/AS with X/Y players so I'm not sure how fussy it was or wasn't.
Either way I'm all for them adding as much as possible to inter-generational games. I don't give a shit about the compability I'm just curious how it will be handled if they're entirely new Pokemon forms.
I can't even imagine what "Twilight" Lycanroc would look like...

I wonder what kind of stat spread a third form would have. Unless they want to make it outright superior to Midday/Midnight stat-wise , they'll have to keep its BST of 487. The main difference between Midday and Midnight is their speed and their defenses, their attack is the same. Maybe sacrificing some attack/special atk for some more speed? Though Lycanroc's main problem is its movepool.
Something interesting that SciresM pointed out is that Lycanroc's current max form ID is at 1, while the placeholder found on the global link is at 4. Someone in the replies suggested that ID 2 and 3 could be a Totem Lycanroc (that may have been seen in the trailer) for both current forms, while 4 is the new form.
Or is it new footage from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon?
At first I thought they were going to have it be Midday form to contrast Gladion's, but this makes a lot of sense.
Keep in mind that I'm doing my research from a phone which really isn't fun and it's my own opinion.
My thoughts on Lycanroc.
The Midday Lycanroc isn't fast enough and doesn't hit hard enough. You could blame the base stat total or the spread of the base stat total it has. I keep pointing to Weavile because it's one of my favorite Pokémon. It's base speed is 125 and it's base attack is 120. Pair those stats with a expert belt and I used Weavile in competitive to wreak havoc on opposing players. The fix is easy, take 10 points off its special attack and 5 points off of its defense and special defense and add those 20 points to its speed and attack and it'll be a much better Pokémon. It'll hit hard and be able to out speed alot of the Meta.
On to Midnight
Stat spread wise this thing almost works except it's typing kills it. It's needs three things to happen to make it work. It's base speed to increase to 90, it's base attack increase to atleast 120, and Dragon Dance which I feel shouldn't be a problem for him/her to get exclusively since Midday got Accelerock exclusively. Don't get me wrong it could also use moves like Drain Punch and more hard hitting but low accuracy moves to take advantage of the no guard ability. Those can be taken care of with move tutor ofcourse.
On to the possible new form Lycanroc
I hope it has a higher base total with a better spread of its stats compared to the other two. Lycanroc feels like it's going to be this gen Greninja in the anime for Ash. I feel Midday and Midnight fell flat with the competitive player base and those two have already been feature considerably in the Anime. If Game Freak wants to cash in on Lycanroc like they did with Greninja they need to create a new stronger form or give the previous two some new ability or attack that would be exclusive to Ash Lycanroc in the anime atleast.
I still stand by that Ash will either get Midday form or his Rockruff will pull a Bulbasaur and refuse to evolve.
I really need to get round to watching the Litten capture episode and the battle episode.
I have used Midday Lycanroc in Pokémon Sun and one of the biggest problem that I had with him is that Lycanroc move's set is so shallow, him not learning Earthquake really held him back I feel, and as a result he ended up being a kinda of there member drawing a parallel to Mightyena on my Ruby team, except Mightyena managed shine in the Elite 4 my Lycanroc had no such moments.
The other problems that I had with Lycanroc is I felt that both Lycanroc form should have been a split evolution and that night form should have been Rock/Fighting whereas Midday being pure Rock.
I honestly feel like this is trolling and it's gonna be Day form. Hope Im wrong though.
Kinda wish we get more info on Ultra sun and ultra moon
no see the half day lycanroc is a lazy fucker who fights asleep
The new lycanroc form is looking great
The faster they burn through gen 7 the more likely it'll end before Serena's obligatory guest spot.So that's half of the Kahuna battles and a majority of the trials dealt with, just over half a year into the anime.

Hurry Anime, before she catches up!
Maybe Oricorio will get new forms if there are different islands.
