The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Shield

    With swift movements, this Pokémon gradually backs its prey into a corner. Lycanroc’s fangs are always aimed toward opponents’ weak spots.

  • Sword

    This Lycanroc is calm and cautious. The rocks jutting from its mane are razor sharp.

  • Ultra Moon

    The rocks in its mane are sharper than a knife. Fragments that break off are treasured as good luck charms.

  • Ultra Sun

    The sharp rocks in its mane can cut like knives. Lycanroc wears its prey down by degrees before finishing them off.

2 more entries from older games
  • Moon

    When properly raised from a young age, it will become a trustworthy partner that will absolutely never betray its Trainer.

  • Sun

    Its quick movements confuse its enemies. Well equipped with claws and fangs, it also uses the sharp rocks in its mane as weapons.
