Guide: Evolving Rockruff into Lycanroc Forms in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Rockruff, the charming Puppy Pokemon, is a sought-after creature in the world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, including The Teal Mask DLC. This guide unveils the path to finding Rockruff and evolving it into its three distinctive Lycanroc forms.

Rockruff is abundant in Kitakami, making it easily accessible. Locations like The Wistful Fields, The Infernal Pass, Oni Mountain, and Fellhorn Gorge are prime spots for capturing this Pokemon, thanks to its affinity for rocky and mountainous terrain. Once captured, you can embark on the journey to evolve it into one of its three unique forms.

For those aspiring to attain the Midday Form of Lycanroc, it’s a straightforward endeavor. Simply level up your Rockruff to 25 during daylight hours. If you capture a Rockruff already above level 25, a single level-up will suffice. To expedite this process, consider using a Rare Candy for rapid level progression.

The path to obtaining the Dusk Form of Lycanroc is more challenging. First, ensure that your Rockruff possesses the rare Ability known as Own Tempo. If it lacks this Ability, obtaining the Dusk Form is impossible. You’ll need to evolve Rockruff to level 25 or higher during the brief twilight period (between day and night). This narrow window of opportunity can be aided by Rare Candies for a timely evolution.

Evolving Rockruff into the Midnight Form is a breeze. Simply follow the opposite approach to the Midday Form by evolving Rockruff at night once the sun has set.

This guide will assist trainers in acquiring their preferred Lycanroc form, whether it’s Midday, Dusk, or Midnight.
