In ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', Rockruff was used in the [[Akala Island]] grand trial alongside Rowlet, battling [[Olivia's Lycanroc]] and {{p|Probopass}}. Despite their opponents giving them tough times with their combination tactics, Rowlet eventually defeated Probopass with {{m|Bloom Doom}}. Unfortunately, Rockruff, acting aggressively, was so desperate to battle Lycanroc by itself that it impulsively used {{m|Bite}} against Rowlet, accidentally knocking it out. Despite this setback, Ash encouraged Rockruff to use its fighting spirit, allowing it to outrun and defeat Lycanroc, thus earning Ash a [[Rockium Z]]. Professor Kukui and Olivia then revealed to Ash that Rockruff's behavior was a sign that it would [[evolution|evolve]] soon. | In ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', Rockruff was used in the [[Akala Island]] grand trial alongside Rowlet, battling [[Olivia's Lycanroc]] and {{p|Probopass}}.

In ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', Rockruff went off by itself to train after remembering the aggression it demonstrated during Olivia's grand trial. While training, it encountered {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}}, who challenged it to a battle. Rockruff was no match for the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], however, and was easily beaten. When Ash found Rockruff, he tried to stop it from running away again but failed. The next day, Rockruff was walking on a cliffside when it got startled by a {{p|Fearow}}, causing it to fall into a river. The injured Puppy Pokémon was later found by Olivia and Gladion's Lycanroc, who brought it to the [[Ruins of Life]], where Tapu Lele resided. When Ash, Professor Kukui, and Olivia arrived at the ruins, Tapu Lele used {{m|Draining Kiss}} to drain stamina from Ash and the two Lycanroc, which was then used to heal Rockruff's wounds. Afterward, Rockruff went to the edge of a cliff and began to howl as the setting sun {{wp|Green flash|turned green}}.

In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Ash had Lycanroc use {{m|Continental Crush}} against Team Rocket, but the attack failed. After another attempt, Professor Kukui gave him some advice, which led to Ash training with {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. When Team Rocket showed up again and [[Jessie]] challenged Ash to a battle with her {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, Lycanroc mastered Continental Crush and sent Team Rocket blasting off, much to their surprise. | In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Ash had Lycanroc use {{m|Continental Crush}} against Team Rocket, but the attack failed.

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the {{an|Ultra Beasts}} they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon. After the successfully executed {{m|Splintered Stormshards}} had left the two Ultra Beasts momentarily vulnerable, {{an|Lana}} and Lillie were able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them and thus complete the mission. | In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the {{an|Ultra Beasts}} they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon.

In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc during his battle against Gladion and his own Lycanroc.

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc as his final Pokémon against Gladion and his own Lycanroc during the finals of the [[Manalo Conference]]. Counter and Stone Edge repeatedly intercepted Ash's Lycanroc's attempts to get close to Gladion's Lycanroc. After powering itself up with {{m|Swords Dance}}, Gladion's Lycanroc got close enough to attack with {{m|Outrage}}, only to get confused and bite its left arm. Ash had his Lycanroc take this opportunity to attack, only for Gladion's Lycanroc to retaliate with Counter, revealing it bit itself to snap itself out of the confusion. Ash had his Lycanroc rush in with Accelerock, hoping to land one final blow. Gladion had his Lycanroc intercept with one more Counter, but as it connected, Ash also had his Lycanroc use Counter. This sent Gladion's Lycanroc flying into the wall and knocked it out, thus winning Ash the battle and the championship. | In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc as his final Pokémon against Gladion and his own Lycanroc during the finals of the [[Manalo Conference]].

In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Lycanroc was Ash's second Pokémon used during his exhibition battle against Professor Kukui, replacing {{p|Torracat}} in the confrontation against [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]] after Ash [[recall]]ed it. When Incineroar used {{m|Darkest Lariat}} to stop Lycanroc's Stone Edge, Ash had Lycanroc grab one of the shards of the broken Stone Edge with its mouth and use it to attack Incineroar. The plan allowed Lycanroc to deal the first bit of [[damage]] to Incineroar in the battle. Kukui then chose to recall Incineroar and send out {{p|Braviary}} in its place, while Ash chose to stick with Lycanroc. Their battle properly commenced in the [[SM142|next episode]]. While Lycanroc was able to endure a {{m|Sky Drop}} and deal some damage to its opponent, the [[Pokémon category|Wolf Pokémon]] was eventually defeated by a super effective {{m|Superpower}}. | In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Lycanroc was Ash's second Pokémon used during his exhibition battle against Professor Kukui, replacing {{p|Torracat}} in the confrontation against [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]] after Ash [[recall]]ed it.
