How to Get Evening Lycanroc

To get evening Lycanroc, also known as Dusk Form Lycanroc, you need to level up your Rockruff to level 25 or higher between 5 PM and 5:59 PM, or in some cases, between 7 PM and 8 PM, depending on the game. This specific time frame is crucial as it dictates the evolution of Rockruff into the Dusk Form Lycanroc, which is considered the rarest of the three forms due to its unique evolution requirements.

Specifics About Lycanroc

14. Is Ash Lycanroc rare? Ash’s Lycanroc evolved from a Rockruff he caught in Alola, which on its own isn’t a particularly rare Pokémon, but Ash’s Rockruff evolved into the extremely rare Dusk form of Lycanroc.
15. Why won’t Rockruff evolve? Once it’s caught, check its Ability on the Summary page, and see if it has Own Tempo, since it’s already level 25, Rockruff only needs to level one more time to evolve into Dusk Form Lycranroc, remembering that it needs to be evening in-game for the evolution to work.
