No matter which form players choose in the long run, Rockruff is a fairly common Pokemon in the game.

Players looking to add this sleek wolf Pokemon to their team will need to keep an eye on the time in-game.

As long as Rockruff hits level 25 while the sun is out, Trainers will be able to claim this form.

For players looking to add Dusk form Lycanroc to their team, they’ll need to pay attention to the real-world time, rather than the time it is in-game. Players will need to hit level 25 with Rockruff between 7:00pm and 7:59pm Local Time in their game to unlock this special form.

Much like Midday form Lycanroc, Trainers will need to keep their eyes on the time in-game once more.

Any time after the sun has gone down, players will be able to evolve into this Pokemon.
