Don't know. If he does, I hope for another Ash-Greninja from Dusk Lycanroc!
I don't. I'm tired of the "Ash gets the super-rare thing" treatment.

Tapu Lele is really psychotic. Kicking opponents into severe pain, using Draining Kiss on not just two Pokemon but A HUMAN as well... I would not want that thing to continue running wild!
Overall, pretty awesome episode. Rockruff's development and the fact they included Gladion's Lycanroc and Olivia's really added to it as they were Lycanroc Rockruff had interacted with and looked up to before his evolution.

I loved this episode. Even though Rockruff's evolution sequence was spoiled by Pokénchi, I still enjoyed seeing it in context in the episode proper. If I understood correctly, Professor Kukui said something about the "green flash" being related to Rockruff's evolving into Dusk Lycanroc. It doesn't seem Tapu Lele is directly involved. It did seem aware of what was going on, though--like it knew Rockruff was close to evolving.
And it's official: Tapu Lele is a jerk. It sees Rockruff training, and then (seemingly gleefully) starts beating up the poor puppy. When Midnight Lycanroc asks it to heal Rockruff, it throws the wolf into the bushes, and then does the same to Midday Lycanroc when it tries to protect Rockruff. When its sparkles don't work, it uses Draining Kiss on the Lycanroc and Ash and sucks the energy out of them.
(I did a chuckle out of the scene with Tapu Lele and the Lycanroc, though. Midnight makes a request, and it gets thrown into the bushes. Midday makes a request, and Tapu Lele listens. It makes me wonder if either Midday mentioned its Trainer is the Island Kahuna. Either that, or Midnight just wasn't polite enough for Tapu Lele. )
I liked the interactions between Midday and Midnight Lycanroc. At first meeting, they are a little hostile to each other, growling at each other; but then they unite to help Rockruff, and they protect it (and Ash) against Tapu Lele. And then, during Rockruff's evolution, they howl alongside it.
Gladion and Type: Null's appearance was pretty much as brief as I thought it was going to be, but it was still nice to see. It seems Type: Null is still a little wild and Gladion doesn't have it completely under control yet. Also, Gladion, shouldn't you be more concerned, or at least curious, as to why your Lycanroc wandered off? All he says is, "Be back by night," and that's it.

Erm, did Tapu Lele beat Rockruff up just for like, fun? Also, bit of an overreaction blasting Midnight in the bush there? And, erm, it literally sucked the life out of 3 beings!?!?!?!??!?!?!

It didn't listen to Midday either, the only reason Tapu Lele tried to make any more effort was because it realized it was the same Rockruff that it beat up from before.

so did gladion say he was trying to hide type:null? also it looked like type:null wasn't feeling comfortable with the helmet on. definitely some hints towards a future arc.
good episode, although i feel like outside of the evolution sequence, the animation was a little lackluster. anyways, dusk form lycanroc looks awesome with ash.

Welp, looks like I was right. Dusk form is one of a kind. Rotom had no data on it, and Kukui seemed to have named it Dusk form himself. So it's Ash-Greninja all over again with Ash getting another super rare pokemon. Remember when the most special pokemon that Ash go was a shiny Noctowl?

Part of having a Midnight Lycanroc is probably respecting its independence, otherwise if may start to resent its trainer.

Oh yeah, anybody else noticed Gladion's Type:Null was in a premier ball?

So Gladion's appearance was just a "hey, I'm still alive and I have this chimera with me" than his Lycanroc helping at all?
Well, another girl kisses Ash on the cheek much earlier than Serena did. Poor girl can't catch a break.
That's not so much being a sadist than actually being playfully rough, though. Sadist people really take great pleasure on others' pains.

I noticed it, but I forgot which ball that was until I saw the forums.

I like how more trainers are using different types of pokeballs now instead of the norm pokeball. Only other time I remember them doing this was Ash's Totodile.

This episode was pretty good. So we learn that Tapu Lele is a retarded psychopath who doesn't even know what it wants to do. Sometimes it just heals Pokémon like that Yungoos, and other times it's batsh** insane and attacking Pokémon.
Yeah it was interesting to see Type : Null, but honestly, Gladion was in this episode only for his Midnight Lycanroc to be around. I guess it's foreshadowing a future arc for Gladion and Type : Null.
The evolution itself, though obviously spoiled beforehand by Pokenchi was still nice since we got some context. Seems like it's something to do with the green flash. I actually thought that barring the really nice animation for the evolution, the rest of the episode's animation wasn't that impressive.
I really liked the part where all three Lycanroc were howling. Honestly, Midnight Lycanroc still looks the best to me. Anyway, the previous episode and this episode atleast end Akala on a decent note. Although I still didn't like the overall arc that much due to how rushed it was, though thankfully episodes 36 and today's episode 37 were good. So overall episode is 8.5/10.

I sure hope Ash isn't heavily used for marketing purposes in this region. The previous region was pretty bad at it for the final episodes, so I don't want to see this form shoved down our throats too much over the others this early.

What moves did Tapu Lele use in this episode? Draining Kiss and? Also, did it use Psychic Terrain or was it Psychic Surge?
