From
November 17th 2017 through to
January 10th 2018, all Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon games can receive a special Rockruff from Mystery Gift!
(This can be done by going to Mystery Gift > Get Gift from Internet, easy as that. Be sure to connect with your wireless on!)
This Rockruff comes in a Cherish Ball, with a special Ribbon, and has the special attack Happy Hour.
It does not appear that its gender can be reset for, but you
can reset for its nature.
Most special of all is that it has the ability
Own Tempo!
This means that if you level it up to
level 25 or higher between the hours of
5pm and 6pm,
it will evolve into the special
Dusk Form Lycanroc!
(Note: This does count the reverse time in Ultra Moon, so you'll have to stay up late.. or find a way to mess with time.)
This Lycanroc form has the ability Tough Claws, which increases physical-contact moves' power by 33%!
It also has these stats:
HP: 75 | ATK: 117 | DEF: 65 | SATK: 55 | SDEF: 65 | SPD: 110
(Very similar to Midday Lycanroc, but with slightly higher ATK.)
So be sure to pick up your event and grab yourself this special Rockruff while you can,
because there's no knowing when we'll get another one like this.
However, it does appear that
Own Tempo can be passed through breeding, so even if you don't get one, don't despair!
You might be able to find an Own Tempo Rockruff from a breeder, who I'm sure would be happy to share a quality Rockruff with you.
Note: Rockruffs with Own Tempo and Dusk form Lycanrocs
cannot be transferred to original Sun or original Moon games.
============
Also, from
September 22nd, 2017, to
September 21st, 2018,
if you purchase
Pokemon Gold or Pokemon Silver on the 3DS Virtual Console, you'll get a free redeemable code for a
Celebi.
(You get this code at the checkout screen for buying one of these titles.)
This Celebi comes in a Cherish Ball, at level 30, with typical attacks. Its nature
can be reset for.
Celebi cannot be obtained outside of events, so be sure to grab it for your Pokedex.

For now, this thread might be an event tracker. Once the Rockruff event ends, I'll make a dedicated Pokemon event tracker thread. :p
