'''Professor Kukui's Rockruff/Lycanroc''' (Japanese: '''ククイ博士のイワンコ/ルガルガン''' ''Dr. Kukui's Iwanko/Lugarugan'') are a group of Pokémon under Professor Kukui's ownership that has shown up in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.
 
===In the core series===
[[Professor Kukui]] appears to own several Rockruff and Lycanroc in the games. He uses a Rockruff in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] to help with the capture, [[Z-Move]], and [[Battle Royal]] tutorials. He also uses a Midday Form Lycanroc in his battles against the {{player}} at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, a Midnight Form Lycanroc as the Masked Royal, and both forms in the [[Battle Tree]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Another Rockruff can be seen in [[Alola Route 1|Professor Kukui's Lab]].
 
Like many of his other Pokémon, he often uses his Rockruff to use attacks on himself to help study for his research. In the process, this causes either the Pokémon Research Lab or his clothes to get damaged. The lab needs to be repaired and [[Lillie]] has to sew Kukui's clothes back together often. An example of this can be seen when Lillie walks the player to the lab to receive their [[Pokédex]]. Rockruff is known to chew on [[Nebby]]'s bed in Lillie's loft.

One of Professor Kukui's Lycanroc forms a [[sync pair]] with him in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

===[[Pokémon the Series]]===
{{main|Ash's Lycanroc}}
[[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]'s {{P|Lycanroc}} originally debuted as a wild {{p|Rockruff}} that sprung up around Kukui's lab one day. Although it was under his care, being provided with food and shelter, it was never caught in a Poké Ball. In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'' Ash had caught the Pokémon under his ownership.
 
===[[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]]===
Professor Kukui's Lycanroc appeared alongside his Trainer in the Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===

Rockruff first appeared in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', under the ownership of [[Professor Kukui]]. It was first used to battle {{adv|Sun}}'s {{adv|Dollar}} at the [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. Initially, Rockruff had the advantage over Dollar due to Sun lacking the motivation to battle. Once Sun was given the proper motivation, he and Dollar easily defeated Rockruff, forcing Kukui to switch for {{p|Munchlax}}. Sometime later, it evolved into a Midday Form Lycanroc, and it was used to try and prevent a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], only to be defeated.
