With swift movements, this Pokémon gradually backs its prey into a corner. Lycanroc’s fangs are always aimed toward opponents’ weak spots.
Shield
This Lycanroc is calm and cautious. The rocks jutting from its mane are razor sharp.
Sword
The rocks in its mane are sharper than a knife. Fragments that break off are treasured as good luck charms.
Ultra Moon
The sharp rocks in its mane can cut like knives. Lycanroc wears its prey down by degrees before finishing them off.
Ultra Sun
When properly raised from a young age, it will become a trustworthy partner that will absolutely never betray its Trainer.
Moon
Its quick movements confuse its enemies. Well equipped with claws and fangs, it also uses the sharp rocks in its mane as weapons.
