Can Rockruff Evolve to Midnight Form in Ultra Sun?

To directly answer the question, Rockruff can evolve into Midnight Form Lycanroc in Ultra Sun, but not through the traditional method of leveling up at night, as Ultra Sun is tied to the Midday Form evolution. Instead, players can catch Midnight Form Lycanroc in Vast Poni Canyon, which is available in both Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, regardless of the time of day in the game.
