We probably won't get too many new forms. Just enough for us to be satisfied with.

For some reason I think that the Dusk form might have been a mistranslation, but I do enjoy the Dusk Lycanroc. If I had to guess, two of its abilities would be Vital Spirit and Steadfast and that Keen Eye will be replaced either with an existing ability or a new ability in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. After all, they did add new abilities and moves in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
If it is twilight then this might be the only one we're getting seeing how twilight can refer to both dawn and dusk.

Interesting that the North American / English translation comes with a different connotation than any other language. You'd think that something like that would remain consistent precisely to avoid this kind of confusion - you really don't want to hint at a new form that doesn't exist! But yeah, for other reasons, I didn't expect one, and this backs that up a bit.

Though twilight is usually associated with dusk more so than dawn (even though it can refer to both).

Well yes, but "twilight" doesn't have as obvious a phonetic counterpart as "dusk" has in "dawn," you know? I mean, I guess they could get fancy and have a "daybreak" one or something, but it's not quite as straightforward.

They should just specify the time of day precisely to head off further debate.
Lycanroc 9:15am Forme.
