Let’s Go Pikachu! and Let’s Go Eevee!

• The distribution started on November 17th and will end January 10th, 2018. If you want it, grab it before then.
• The gift Rockruff is shiny locked upon arrival, but its gender and nature are not locked, so you can soft reset for a gender/nature combination you like. Also, you can nickname it. It comes in a Cherish Ball and has a Classic Ribbon.
• The Ultra Sun Rockruff will come with Fire Fang, and the Ultra Moon Rockruff will come with Thunder Fang. Normally, Rockruff can only learn these moves through breeding. It also knows Happy Hour, a move Rockruff can’t learn naturally. Like Munchlax/Snorlax from last year, you can relearn the move from the Move Reminder if you make it forget it. Rockruff also comes holding a Focus Band.
• It evolves into Lycanroc between 5 PM and 6 PM, which will be super easy for Ultra Sun players, and not so great for Ultra Moon players.
• Lycanroc Dusk’s stats are nearly identical to Midday’s; the core difference is it has +2 attack and -2 speed. This gives it the highest attack stat of the three Lycanroc forms (117), and is the second fastest.
• Lycanrock Dusk can learn moves that were previously exclusive between the other two forms; it can learn Accelerock and Drill Run (Midday), as well as Counter and Outrage (Midnight).
• The Rockruff is capable of breeding, and so long as you have the conditions right (as in, normal conditions where the Rockruff can pass down its ability), the baby Rockruff will also have Own Tempo and evolve into Dusk.
• Ones you breed yourself have none of the locks that the gift one has. This means you can breed it into a different ball, get it breeding moves, and breed for a shiny.
• Own Tempo Rockruffs can’t be put into Wonder Trade, not even ones you breed yourself.
