From the Alola area comes the Rock-type Pokémon Lycanroc. It grows from Rockruff after 50 candies are fed to it. It exists in three different forms: dusk, midnight, and midday. Dusk Form evolved from the other Rockruff form between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. local time. Midday Form and Midnight Form evolved from one Rockruff form during the day or night in the game, respectively.
How to get lycanroc dusk form in Pokemon Go?
Pokemon GO does not presently allow you to directly capture a shiny Dusk Form Lycanroc, but you can evolve a shiny Rockruff that you’ve gotten into a Dusk Form Lycanroc.
You can use the following techniques to find Rockruff and its shiny form after the Lustrous Odyssey event starts:
- 1-Star Raids
- 2km and 7km Egg Hatches
- Field Research Task Rewards
Not only that, but Rockruff might resurface in the future in various forms when Lustrous Odyssey ends on January 10, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time, offering even more chances to locate and capture its metallic version.
Star Raids
In the gym hosting 1-star raids you can find Rockruff as boss of Lusterus Odyssey during the event. This is a mono rock species, so you should use the following moves to defeat this raid boss in Pokémon Go and deal his highly effective damage
- Fighting
- Grass
- Ground
- Steel
- Water
You’ll face off against Rockruff in a capture encounter after each raid defeat. Community data suggests that Rockruff has a 1/64 chance of showing up in its shiny form, however, this probability might increase during the Lustrous Odyssey event.
Egg Hatches
When you’re raiding for the shiny rock ruff, you can also spin up a nearby PokStop disc to collect 2km of eggs. You can also get 7km eggs by opening a gift sent by your Pokémon Go friends. Lusteras will offer both eggs in their hatch pool during the Odyssey event.
Niantic explained that in Lusterus Odyssey, there will be an opportunity to remove 5km of eggs from the rockruff during the timeless travels season, which can grow into the dusk form Lyccanrok. The glossy rockruff can also be hatched, but the odds of the shiny hatch are not obvious.
Field Research Task Rewards
During Pokémon Go’s Lusterous Odyssey program, make sure to spin the PokéStop nearby to complete research tasks in addition to egg collection. When you finish your field research, you get to fight the Rockruff.
It would require a lot of luck to find the bright rockroof, especially one that could evolve into the Dusk from Lycanrok, but Niantic confirmed in his post that both are possible.
