A lot of it points to it being "Variant Evolutions" not Split evolutions, Z-Moves, Megas, or evolutions based on the starters (Rockruff evolves differently depending on the starter you pick). "Variant Evolutions" as in something like Alolan Raichu. It's a normal Pikachu but when evolving it in Alola it is different but still the same Pokemon. Below I'll list a bunch of reasons as to why it will be "Variant Evolutions" and not the others
- If it where Mega Evolutions, they wouldn't be Hyping up their "Secret" in CoroCoro
- If it where special Z-Moves then that trailer with Raichu and Snorlax using these special Z-Moves shouldn't have been released
- If it where Synchro then Greninja shouldn't have it too
- If Rockruff evolved based on the starters then it would be just Rockruffs secret, not the Starters and Rockruff like it said
- Leaks say Rockruff will become a Werewolf and have more than one evolution
- If it where just a single evolution then why dedicate a whole poster to Rockruff next CoroCoro? Yes they did say "Secret Evolution" not "Secret Evolutions" but that doesn't mean anything because Pikachu still evolved into 1 Pokemon, Raichu. Yet it looks different and has a different type when evolved in Alola
- The riddler leaks posted pics of the starters for no apparent reason and counted it like this, Rowlet2, Litten2, Popplio2, Rowlet3, Litten3, and Popplio3. The thing is that the pic they posted of Pikipeks line was normal. The numbering though make it seem as if there are 3 final evolutions (Day,Night,Mid?) if you look at each starter on their own. The riddler only posts things that are relevant so their is a reason they posted the starters
- There is still the mysterious Ground and Fighting type icons that where connected to the starters but then removed on the official site
Pic related but not real
