More Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon news has started to leak from CoroCoro. We now know that the Lycanroc will have a new Z-Move in the two games known as “Radial Edge Storm” which requires the Pokemon to know the move Stone Edge. Also, it has a secondary effect that eliminates field effects such as Terrain.

Additionally, it’s confirmed that Rockruff can only evolve into Dusk Form between 5 PM and 5:59 PM after level 25. The pre-evolution special Rockruff also has the ability Own Tempo.

System: 3DS
Release date: September 15, 2017
Developer: MercurySteam / Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

Samus Aran has a long history with the video games and is easily one of the most iconic and recognizable characters of all time. But unfortunately, the famous bounty hunter along with the Metroid series itself have been mostly dormant for quite a while. However, now Samus is back, and it feels incredible to have her at the forefront once again. Even if Metroid: Samus Returns is just a remake and not a brand new title, beggars can’t be choosers, and I can promise that everything the game has to offer touches base with everything we’ve wanted from a classic Metroid title for a long time while remaining fresh and feeling contemporary in its mechanics, gameplay, progression, and world.
