I, a true Pokemon master, thinks that Nightwolf is pretty cool, though not nearly as cool as Daywolf. :colbert:

It would be super cool if the starters could get different final evo lines.

Is there an official source for the "starter evos tied to rockruff's evo" thing? Cuz if that's just some random unconfirmed leak, then the rockruff stuff doesn't confirm poo poo about the starters and y'all are setting yourselves up for disappointment

Coro-coro once said something like rockruff and the starters both have a secret, though I'm not sure if that means they share the same secret

It was Coro IIRC

They're making a *big* deal out of the Day/Night differences and whatnot; making the starter evos tie into that could be part of the gimmick

Although maybe it's something even more absurd like starters from Sun only evolve during the day and vice versa for Moon

there wasnt anything explicitly saying it was about evolutions

it was just a previous corocoro issue saying that Rockruff had a secret, and the starters also had a secret. people assumed it was all one big secret but it looks like it isnt

Why would the Corocoro say The Starters And Rockruff Have A Secret if they don't all share the same secret? That's just bad marketing.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that the secret that the Starters and Rockruff share are signature Z moves, like Snorlax and Raichu have.

The secret is that Rockruff needs to be friends with a starter to evolve and the time just set up what Rockruff will evolve in to.

My guess is the starter evolutions vary ind design whether it's night or day. It would be similar to differences with final evolution Pokemon and their Mega evolutions, aesthetically. Just that they're equal in power with different stats.

Oh snap, looks like the rumors/leaks from "unconfirmed chinese source" months ago were true, Rockruff's evolution is a werewolf, at least at nighttime. It has an alternate evolution on four legs in the day. So it's likely a similar thing for the starter evolutions, like I thought.

Rockruff's evolution looks different depending on whether it evolves during the day or at night:





Two new Ultra Beasts (Expansion is exclusive to Sun and Beauty is exclusive to Moon)

That would be...interesting. Like would Rockruff (and the starter evos?) really change form in a battle at night? It would have to be purely aesthetic right? Otherwise how do you determine which form to use in a battle outside of singleplayer?

Avalerion

Could be they are permanent once they evolve, or you have to do a thing like use an item or object to change them.

That looks like a cutscene though and so far we haven't even seen footage or images of people even battling Ultra Beasts let alone catch them.
