How do I get sun form in moon?

Community Answer

You can find both forms on Pony Mountain. During nighttime you will find the midnight form of Lycanroc, and during daytime you will find the Midday form.

Question

In the Pokemon series Sun and Moon, Ash was able to evolve his Rockruff into an unknown Lycanrock. Is it possible for me to do that?

Community Answer

The anime is very different from the games. You can do this in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Question

Why isn't my Rockruff evolving at level 25 in Pokemon Moon?

Lugia2453

Top Answerer

You're probably trying to evolve it during the daytime. You have to evolve it during the nighttime. Pokemon Moon's in-game clock is 12 hours ahead of the console's clock.

Question

Rockruff didn't evolve when I used a rare candy, and it wasn't holding an Everstone. It was also way over level 25. Is there something that happens with Rockruff by not evolving with rare candies?

Bun bun

Top Answerer

If you're playing Pokemon Sun, you must evolve Rockruff in the day (in game) and you must evolve Rockruff in the night when you are playing Pokemon Moon (again, in game).

Question

Is there any way I can get midnight form in sun?

Community Answer

Yes. You could trade with a friend on GTS or link trade, or go to Pony Mountain during nighttime and there is a chance of a random spawn of a midnight from Lycanroc.

Question

Why isn't my Rockruff evolving when it's at a high enough level?

Community Answer

Check to see if it's holding an everstone. If it's not and you're playing Pokemon Moon, you probably just have to level up during the night time.

Question

How do I evolve my shiny Rockruff into midday form in Pokemon Sun and Moon?

Community Answer

Level it up to level 25. It will only become a midday form if you are playing Pokemon Sun. If that is the game you are playing, make sure the level up occurs during the day, and it should evolve. If you are playing Pokemon Moon you will have to trade with a friend for it.

Question

What do I do if my Rockruff is over level 31 and not evolving?

Community Answer

If you are playing Pokemon Sun, make sure the level up happens during daytime. If you go to the Pokemon Center and Nurse Joy says "Hello" or "Good Morning", it is daytime in the game. If this doesn't work, try again, making sure it doesn't have any items on it, especially the everstone. If this doesn't work, it is a bug.

Question

Why won't my rockruff evolve when it's over level 34?

Community Answer

It is probably because you didn't level it up to 25 at the right time of day. If you have Pokémon sun, then it must reach level 25 at day, if you have moon then night. And in the unlikely event that you level it up at dusk, then it wont evolve into any form.

Question

I’m in Pokémon Sun and it’s the day. Do I need to level it up another level?

Community Answer

It really depends on what level it's on. If it is level 20 level up to level 25, make sure when it reaches level 25 that it is daytime in the game.

Question

Can I change the time in the 3DS's settings to day and then evolve my Rockruff?

Verin

Top Answerer

Yes you can, although this temporarily suspends certain time-based events, such as the Festival Plaza shops re-stocking (they lose all their stock for about a day), or the lottery in Hau'oli City. If you don't care about that happening, you can go ahead and change the clock. However, if you don't want to suspend those events, you'll have to wait until it's daytime in the game, or, if you're playing US/UM and you're far enough in the game, you can visit the reverse world, which inverts the time of day (need Solgaleo, Lunala or Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma in your party). US: Can only enter at night, and will invert to day. UM: Can only enter in day, and will invert to night.

I have a shiny Rockruff in Pokemon Ultra Sun. Can I get a midnight-form Lycanroc without trading?

Victoria

While your Rockruff will most likely evolve into the midday form, you can catch a midnight-form Lycanroc. You have a 20 percent chance of encountering a Midnight-Form Lycanroc at Vast Poni Canyon.
