Biography
Lycanroc was seen where it faced Team Skull in an alleyway, quickly disposing of them with Stone Edge. It was later seen beating a sailor's Blastoise, dodging a Skull Bash and using Counter, causing Gladion to win the match. Later on, Gladion accepted Ash's challenge and sent Lycanroc out to battle against Ash's Rockruff. Rockruff circled around Lycanroc and used Bite, which Lycanroc shrugged off. It countered with a Stone Edge, blocking Rockruff's Rock Throw. Rockruff ran off from Stone Edge down and was blocked so it couldn't escape the move, before Lycanroc hit it hard with Crunch. Despite having the upper hand, Rockruff refused to give up or surrender. Before the battle could continue, Team Rocket capture Lycanroc along Pikachu in a net and tried to flee in a crane car, but Rockruff later freed them. Lycanroc sent Team Rocket flying off with Continental Crush before Bewear came along and grabbed them while they flew off. Gladion praised Ash and Rockruff, noting how his Rockruff had good eyes, much like his Lycanroc had.

It reappeared in a flashback during Ash's Grand Trial against Olivia. Lycanroc heard Rockruff's howling on Akala Island. Gladion had Lycanroc to go investigate and be back by nighttime. Lycanroc managed to find Rockruff and eventually met up with Olivia's Midday Lycanroc. The two Lycanrocs took Rockruff to the Ruins of Life where Tapu Lele agreed to heal Rockruff. However, Ash interfered and tries to protect Rockruff, thinking it was going to hurt it. Tapu Lele used Draining Kiss on Ash and the two Lycanrocs to drain their energies and proceeded on healing all four of them. Once everyone is healed, Rockruff caught a glimpse of the sunset and saw a green flash. Rockruff started to howl and the two Lycanrocs join in. At that moment, Rockruff evolved into a Dusk Form Lycanroc and the three Wolf Pokémon continue to howl. After that, Lycanroc went away.
