Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players will be able to catch and evolve Rockruff into three different forms of Lycanroc while exploring the Paldea region. Below is everything you need to know to find and catch it.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will include many exciting species from recent generations, including the Rock-type “puppy” Pokemon Rockruff. Originally introduced in Generation 7’s Alola region, Rockruff is an adorable teammate, and can evolve into one of three different forms of Lycanroc depending on the time of day.
Rockruff will join several different Gen-9 exclusive dog Pokemon in Paldea. This will include Fidough, Greavard, and Maschiff. Each of the dogs offers different benefits to players. However, many find adding Rockruff to their teams is both useful and nostalgic.
