Rockruff (Japanese: イワンコ, HepburnIwanko) is a rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Biology

Physiology

Rockruff is a small Pokémon that resembles a slightly plump dog. It has a fluffy tail, brown paws (with a small triangle on their end of the legs), a white neck decorated with brown fragments, a somewhat fatty beige underbelly, a brown mouth with a pink nose, two blue eyes and a pair of brown lowered ears. Ears are similar to those of a fox when they stand up.

Characteristics

Rockruff has an excellent nose that makes it won't forget the smell it sniffed before.

Behavior

Rockruff like to show their affection by hitting the rocks onto their trainers. Unfortunately, this may make their trainers feel painful. However, they usually become fierce during the time they grow older, and howl at evenings when they are going to evolve into Lycanroc. When they know that they will evolve, they might leave their trainers for a while until their evolutions are completed.

Evolution

At level 25 or over, Rockruff evolves into Lycanroc Midday Form during the daytime, and into Lycanroc Midnight during the nighttime, and into Lycanroc Dusk form only evolve during the Evening Twilight time (7:00 to 7:59) or Morning Twilight time (5:00 to 5:59).

Pokédex entries

  • Sun

    It’s considered to be a good Pokémon for beginners because of its friendliness, but its disposition grows rougher as it grows up.

  • Moon

    This Pokémon has lived with people since times long ago. It can sense when its Trainer is in the dumps and will stick close by its Trainer’s side.

  • Ultra Sun

    As they develop, their disposition grows more violent and aggressive. Many Trainers find them too much to handle and abandon them.

  • Ultra Moon

    When it rubs the rocks on its neck against you, that’s proof of its love for you. However, the rocks are sharp, so the gesture is quite painful.
