- A Rockruff with Own Tempo evolves into Dusk Form Lycanroc when leveled up at duskSV, or from 7 PM to 7:59 PM in real-timeVIII or 5 PM to 5:59 PM in in-game timeUSUM (equating to 5 PM to 5:59 PM in real-time for Ultra Sun and 5 AM to 5:59 AM in real-time for Ultra Moon).
Biology
Rockruff is a quadrupedal, canine Pokémon. It is primarily light brown with a darker brown muzzle, paws, and ear tips. It has large blue eyes, button ears, a short muzzle with a triangular pink nose, and a short tuft of fur on each cheek. Around its neck is a ruff of grayish-white fur stubbed with dark brown pebbles. The dark brown markings on its paws extend to a thin point on each wrist and ankle. It has a grayish-white tail that curls tightly over its back and is covered in fluffy fur.
Rockruff has an excellent sense of smell and will never forget an odor after smelling it once. There are tales of it reuniting with its Trainer after becoming lost by following the faintest traces of scent. It has lived with humans since ancient times. Rockruff is often recommended as a good beginner due to its friendly nature. It can bond with Trainers easily. However, Rockruff is said to be a challenging Pokémon to raise, to the point where some Trainers abandon it due to being unable to handle it. This Pokémon is very sociable and will greet others by rubbing them with the rocks around its neck. As it ages, Rockruff becomes wilder and more independent. Once it is close to evolving, it will begin to howl when the sun goes down. It has been said to leave its Trainer's side and return once it has evolved. Despite becoming more vicious as it matures over time, Rockruff never forgets its master's kindness. Wild Rockruff travels in packs until it evolves. A persistent Pokémon, it will keep going until it outlasts foes that are even more powerful.[1] Rockruff intimidates opponents by using the rocks on its neck to hit the ground. As mentioned in the anime, Rockruff trains itself by running around. It attacks foes the moment they flinch. It has been known to fight with Growlithe over territory.

Trivia
- Rockruff shares its category with Growlithe, Lillipup, Yamper, and Fidough. They are all known as the Puppy Pokémon.
- Rockruff is tied with Cranidos for the lowest base Defense stat of all Rock-type Pokémon.
- Rockruff with the Own Tempo Ability cannot be traded on Wonder Trade.
- Despite no visual differences, Rockruff with Own Tempo are internally treated as their own form, rather than having an additional Ability slot.
- Due to being a separate form, Own Tempo Rockruff behave according to form inheritance rules when breeding, rather than Ability inheritance rules.
- Because of the form having no Pokédex entry in Scarlet and Violet, a Rockruff will not have its Pokédex number displayed when viewed from the Boxes in those games.
Origin
Rockruff appears to be based on the spitz breed of dogs. It may also be based on the Japanese wolf, which is often associated with rocks and mountains.
Name origin
Rockruff may be a combination of rock, ruff (onomatopoetic word for barking, or the fur around its neck), and rough.
Iwanko may be a combination of 岩 iwa (rock), ワン wan (onomatopoetic word for barking), わんこ wanko (doggy), and 子 ko (young animal).
