In January 2017, the Nintendo 3DS downloadable software Pokémon Bank is expected to receive an update for compatibility with Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. With the Receiver Ability, this Pokémon can inherit the Ability of an ally who faints in battle. Passimian has a new Ability, Receiver, which no other Pokémon has previously had. It watches a Trainer’s form closely when he or she throws Poké Balls, and will not listen to the orders of a Trainer with poor form. Passimian wants its Trainer to have the qualities of a leader as well. Passimian don’t just pitch hard Berries at opponents, either-they also have a technique that uses soft Berries to obscure their opponent’s ability to see. They sometimes work in coordination with others, passing Berries back and forth to bewilder their opponents. Lobbing Berries at foes is how Passimian attack. Apparently this training is so hard that some Passimian end up running away. The boss puts the troop members through training to improve their coordination with one another and their skill in handling Berries. The troop’s teamwork is strong, and the boss of each troop decides what mark members will wear on their arms to distinguish the troops. This leader will take 10 of the individuals in the best condition to search for food. Passimian live in troops of 20 to 30 individuals, all following a leader. If you’re playing Pokémon Moon, you can obtain it by trading with someone playing Pokémon Sun. Passimian is a Pokémon that only appears in Pokémon Sun. It can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately. Instruct is a move that only Oranguru can learn. These fans appear to be made of layers of leaves bound together with Oranguru’s own fur. The fan-like objects held by Oranguru are handmade by the Oranguru themselves. Allegedly, there have been sightings of Oranguru using Poké Balls! From a Trainer’s perspective, they can be hard Pokémon to handle at times. Oranguru sometimes act on their own initiative and will use items that only humans normally use. Long ago, people thought that Oranguru were humans who dwelled in the forest depths, so they called them “the people of the forests.” Oranguru is kind to the other Pokémon living in the forest, providing medicine for injured Pokémon and food for the hungry. Instead, they position themselves high up in the trees to meditate. Oranguru live solitary lives deep in the forests and do not usually take much action. If you’re playing Pokémon Sun, you can obtain it by trading with someone playing Pokémon Moon. Oranguru is a Pokémon that appears only in Pokémon Moon. When Lycanroc takes physical damage from an opponent, it deals double that damage back to the same opponent. On the other hand, it will feel a deep trust in a Trainer who can truly draw forth its power in battle.Ĭounter is a move that Rockruff can learn when it evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc. Battles thrill it so much that its eyes glow.Ĭontempt rises in this Pokémon for Trainers who give orders it doesn’t agree with or who try to force it to battle. It doesn’t mind getting hurt if it means victory in battle. When an opponent falls for this tactic and attacks, Lycanroc counters with its forte: a single devastating blow that finishes off its foe! The stronger its opponent is, the more excited for battle Lycanroc becomes. Midnight Form Lycanroc provokes its opponents by pressing in hard and inviting their attack.

In the world of Pokémon Moon, Lunala’s influence causes Rockruff to evolve into this form. When Rockruff is bathed in an abundance of lunar energy, it evolves into its Midnight Form. It slams into an opponent with quick moves. It dodges opponents’ strikes while attacking with the sharp rocks of its mane as it slips right past them.Īccelerock is a move that only Midday Form Lycanroc can learn. The Midday Form Lycanroc is known for speedy movements that leave its opponents bewildered. In particular, if a Trainer accepted it during its more rebellious pre-Evolution period, Lycanroc will never ever betray that Trainer and will be the most loyal of partners. Lycanroc obeys its Trainer’s orders dutifully. Each has its own territory, and they live without interfering with one another, which helps to avoid unnecessary fights. Lycanroc lives solo in mountains and deserts, not creating a pack. In the world of Pokémon Sun, Solgaleo’s influence causes Rockruff to evolve into this form. When Rockruff is bathed in profuse amounts of solar energy, it evolves into its Midday Form.
