Lycanroc dusk form for sun and moon3/18/2023 Happy Hour, on its own, isn’t that great. Speaking of Z-moves, let’s talk about Happy Hour. Still, considering how prevalent the Tapu Pokemon are in competitive play, this is a Z-move worth looking into. Returning to my previous question, does this make Lycanroc the new “Tapu Slayer”? Considering two of the Island Guardians can easily KO Lycanroc with super effective hits while the others are also powerful attackers, I think it’s safe to say that Lycanroc won’t be able to take on a Tapu on its own. If this Z-move is based off of Accelerock, then this could be a way to potentially balance the removal of the Terrain effect. Accelerock is only a base 40 power move, so that could easily explain the lacking damage output. A normal Continental Crush should easily be able to wipe a Tapu Koko off of the field, so why didn’t this Z-move KO? An early theory I had was that Splintered Stormshards’ damage was based off of Accelerock which doesn’t make sense since Lycanroc’s Midnight Form can’t learn Accelerock. Normally, attacking Z-moves are insanely powerful attacks and Tapu Koko isn’t the most defensive Pokemon out there. ![]() The Lycanroc in the trailer failed to KO the Tapu Koko that it was up against. Splintered Stormshards dismantles the current, on-field Terrain effect.Ĭould Lycanroc become a Tapu slayer? Well there’s another thing that deserves mentioning. This Z-move can actually be used with all three Lycanroc forms, but what makes it interesting is its secondary effect. The most recent Nintendo Direct showed us Lycanroc’s signature Z-move: Splintered Stormshards. A Signature Z-Move that beats the Tapu Pokemon? Artwork of Dusk Form Lycanroc using its signature Z-move (image credit to Pokemon) Like I said, we don’t know much about Lycanroc’s Dusk Form so far, but there are some significant things we just recently found out. With some speculation, allow me to make a case for the viability of Lycanroc’s Dusk Form. We don’t know much about Lycanroc’s new form, but Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct gave us some new info that suggests there is competitive potential for this new Dusk Form. ![]() However, we haven’t really seen much from Lycanroc in the competitive scene, and when we did it was usually the Midday form. ![]() Lycanroc is getting a new form which looks to combine aspects from its previously introduced Midday and Midnight forms. In the wake of all of the news we’ve been receiving for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, one Pokemon has been given a noticeable amount of attention: Lycanroc.
