As part of its promotion for the 'Guardians Rising' Trading Card Game expansion, The Pokémon Company has started rolling out Lycanroc for Pokémon Sun and Moon on 3DS. You'll have to head along to stores to get it, though.
In terms of abilities it's level 50 with the ability 'No Guard' and a Held Item of a Life Orb; its moves are Stone Edge, Fire Fang, Sucker Punch and Swords Dance.
Below are stores and dates for some countries, as it's one of those serial code deals.
- United States - GameStop from 15th May to 5th June
- UK - GAME from 5th May to 31st May
- Belgium - Game Mania, FNAC, Cora and Smartoys
- Spain - GAME from 5th May
- Italy - GameStop from 5th May
- Germany - GameStop from 5th May
Are you planning to collect this one for your copy of Pokémon Sun and/or Moon?

Sweet!
Unless I'm missing something, there's nothing particularly amazing about this one, other than hidden ability and egg moves.
Still, a free Pokemon is a free Pokemon, so I may as well grab a code next time I'm in town.
Life orb. This is basically a free life orb.
I'd love to get it but I don't think I can go to one of those stores. (the closest one to me isn't even in my country ahah)
Nothing to bark at the moon about, but a free Pokemon is a free Pokemon!
Ah Lycanroc, my favourite of the canid Pokemon :')
@Aerona Pretty much, but hey, free is free Shame I can't access said freebie
Will get one in a few days when my german friend stops by her local gamestop for me
Go to the store? Oh crap.
@Tsurii It would help Sun owners get a Moon exclusive (if they never go near the GTS)
@riChchestM You can catch both forms in both games.
A small correction, game mania distributes the event in the netherlands, not belgium.
Eh... any chance for me to get that Pokemon (I live on Indonesia) ?
I suppose this is decent for people who aren't too good at or can't be bothered to breed, but for those who do this is fairly useless and definitely not worth a GameStop trip. It'd be much better suited as a Wifi Event
But this is coming from a guy who put in over 600 hours in each previous gen but only 40 this current gen so what do I know
I'm not sure if I'll pick this up. I haven't played sun and moon since January and I doubt this will get me back into the game. I enjoyed my time with Sun and Moon but I'll probably go back and play an older gen I haven't touched yet like gen 5 or 6
@Elanczewski
Your profile picture brings the humor hardcore!
@Gorlokk Thank you.
Been waiting for an announcement on the next free Pokemon severely disappointed but that has more to do with the fact i missed out on pretty much all of 2016 free Pokemon really wish i got that Mew
I haven't payed much attention to Sun since launch and I feel terrible about it. Every other Pokemon game from generations past, I have played to death but not this time. Life is picking up and I have a bajillion other games to play. I'm hoping I can get into Sun again because I really enjoyed it
Ugh, I hate the instore events.... it's a lottery whether the distribution will be available in Chile or not. Why can they do this through wifi?
I guess I shouldn't complain, since it's a freebie, but...
This again?! Why does The Pokémon Company hate the rest of the world?
lame distro, it's IVs are gonna suck so all this does is save u from having to find its HA and give it egg moves. and i guess u get it in a cherish ball? so u can level it to 100 and give it bottle caps (waste of bottle caps IMO) or use it to breed one with good IVs and then raise it to lvl 50 (still a waste of time since Baconroc sucks with its low speed). free life orb i guess? ugh why do the U.S. events always suck.
I don't have a GameStop around, so thanks again The Pokémon Company! I sure love enjoying such events physically unreachable for me. Feels like we're back to 1998...
Might as well pick it up when I get FE Echoes but at least this one is not a legandary so nothing to get too excited about.
@Luna_110 They are perfectly able to do these events through wifi but it looks like this one is possibly sponsored... hence them all being at Game/Gamestop stores.
It's not really a pokémon I need, but it's great to get something for free. Heading into town to meet my family for a birthday bash... will make sure to stop into Game and grab another pressie. :3
Does gamemania also distribute them in the Netherlands? If so then I likely pick it up soon
Ah, it's the superior version as well.
Shame that I want to keep up my years long streak of never setting foot in a Gamestop. Maybe I can get an extra off a friend...
Meanwhile Japan is getting Ash Pikachu, but hey! Who wants a Mon you can just catch in the wild?
Not an exciting Pokemon, but I'll probably get it anyway.
What is the thing on his head? Is that a beak?
How about New Zealand & Australia? Same as UK?
I really need to start playing my copy of Pokemon Moon! Feel like I'm missing out.
Because I'm going to go all the way to a gamestop for a Pokemon that's available from the start of the game. What's next? Are they gonna give away a level 50 Raticate?
I have a spare Lycanroc code from my local UK Game. Free to anyone.
@DanteSolablood I'll take it off your hands, thanks (:
