How to Evolve Rockruff in Pokémon Sun and Moon: 4 Steps (2024)

Download Article

1. 1

   Identify where Rockruff can be found. It's found at the outside area of Ten Carat Hill, which is near your player's house. You need Tauros Charge to get there, which is obtained after beating the Melemele Island Grand Trial. You have a 20% chance of finding a Rockruff, which will be between level 10 and 13.

2. 2

   Catch the Rockruff once you find it. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to catch, as it has a relatively high catch rate. Some regular Pokéballs, or perhaps a Great Ball should do the trick.

   • If you’re having difficulty catching it, try weakening its health to about half or less.
   • If you’d like to attempt to catch Rockruff immediately when the battle starts, you can also use Quick Balls.

   Have your Rockruff gain experience. Since Rockruff is a Rock-typePokémon, the bestPokémon to face are Bug, Fire, Ice, and Flying-typePokémon. For it to evolve, you'll have to train it during the daytime inPokémon Sun, and during the nighttime inPokémon Moon. Note, however, thatPokémon Moon's in-game clock is 12 hours ahead of the 3DS' clock, so be sure to keep track of the time if you're playing Pokémon Moon.

4. 4

   Have your Rockruff reach level 25. Once your Rockruff reaches this level during the daytime inPokémon Sun or during the nighttime inPokémon Moon, it will evolve into either Midday Form Lycanroc (if you're playingPokémon Sun) or Midnight Form Lycanroc (if you're playingPokémon Moon).

• If you don't want to battle with Rockruff, you don't have to. You can switch to another Pokémon during a battle, which will get it full experience, or have the Exp. Share on so you don't have to put it into battle.

• Since Rockruff will be a fairly low level, you can use Nest Balls on it to make catching it easier.
