In the anime
History
Rockruff first appeared in HZ002, when it greeted Liko and her Sprigatito when they arrived onboard the Brave Asagi. After greeting the Grass Cat Pokémon, Rockruff joined in a game with Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Pawmi.
In HZ003, Rockruff joined in the search for Liko's Sprigatito after it had been taken as a hostage by the Explorers. By using its great sense of smell, Rockruff spotted Conia when she was out shopping and alerted the other members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who gave chase. Whilst Friede distracted Amethio by battling his Ceruledge with Captain Pikachu, Rockruff helped Liko find and free Sprigatito.
In HZ005, Murdock used Rockruff to battle the Explorers when they confronted the Rising Volt Tacklers. It battled against Zir and his Rhydon. However, despite holding its own, Rockruff couldn't beat Zir's Rhydon and was carried back to the ship by Murdock.
In HZ019, Rockruff stayed on the airship to get groomed by Mollie when Murdock, Liko, and Roy went to Motostoke to get supply.

Rockruff has a great relationship with Murdock as it enjoys hanging out with him. Whenever Murdock was cooking something or someone was snooping around the kitchen, Rockruff would make sure its Trainer wasn't disturbed and get them to leave, as seen in HZ004. Like its species, Rockruff has a great sense of smell and has use it to help its Trainer and friends find something or someone.
