How to obtain Lycanroc

Rockruff can evolve to one of two forms: the Midday Form, and the Midnight Form, each of the forms has its own set of Moves and Ability.
As it evolves, its appearance changes according to the version of the Game.
[Midday Form]
For Pokemon Sun, Rockruff evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc when it levels up during the Morning (6:00 AM – 5:59 PM – Real Time) starting at Level 25.
[Midnight Form]
For Pokemon Moon, Rockruff evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc when it levels up during the Night (6:00 AM – 5:59 PM – Real Time) starting at Level 25.
The Two Forms of Lycanroc are obtainable in the Grass Patches at Vast Poni Canyon
This means that it’s possible to obtain both Forms from the wild regardless of the version you are currently playing on. For both versions: the Midday Form spawns during the day, while the Midnight Form spawns during the night.
However, in the case of Breeding, if you want to evolve Rockruff to a specific Form, keep in mind that you need to have the correct version of the game.

Like when does ur rockruff have to evolve to get blue Lyman roc
The blue lycanroc is a shiny form.
What about blue and orange lycanroc
the orange one is dusk and to my knowledge is from mystery gifts only
What? You literally just have to get a Rockruff that has the ability “Own Tempo” and make sure its 5-6 PM whenever it hits Level 25 or more. In what universe is it a mystery gift exclusive?
I ALREADY GOT THE MIDNIGHT AND DUSK FORM IN SUN RANDOMLY BUT I CANT GET MIDDAY FORM
how did you get dusk form on pokemon sun regular not ultra
lol its actually the midday form thats orange
Go to vast Poni island during the day. Midday form is in the grass right before the trial site
And you can get both forms through trade
My Rockruff is lvl. 26 but she won’t evolve. How can I fix this?????
You might be doing it at the wrong time of day
You might be trying to evolve at the wrong time of day. That’s what I did. I have ultra moon so rockruff wouldn’t evolve during the day even though it was level 25. I could only get midday form on the top of vast Poni canyon in the grass right outside the island challenge site
You might have pressed B when your rockruff was about to evolve becuase pressing B when it’s evolving stops it’s evolutionn.
I think you need to keep leveling it up. My Pupitar took forever to evolve into a Tyranitar I bet if you still don’t have it to evolve if you can do the ultra wormhole it will evolve when you defeat a Pokémon I would say 10 or more it’ll evolve.
I would like to thank you, I thought this article was very helpful. I had just got pokemon sun and pokemon moon and I was very clueless about lycanrock transformations.
If you where a real lycanroc fan you would spell its name right
That’s extremely savage I literally just read that and started crying Bc it’s so funny kudos to you
I don’t know why but the song someone I don’t like someone
So, [in moon version] if I obtain a rockruff caught on the sun version, it can still only evolve into midnight lycanroc in the moon version?
Yep
thank you this helped me out so much
I meant smily faces not question marks
Thanks, this helped a lot. Thank you again ????????????
