Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was a [[wild Pokémon]] that one day stumbled across {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. It was starving and left confused from another Pokémon's {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Professor Kukui gave it some [[Pokémon food]], which made Rockruff decide to stay at Kukui's house. From then on, Rockruff lived with Kukui, although he never {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a [[Poké Ball]]. | Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was a [[wild Pokémon]] that one day stumbled across {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house.

In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', Rockruff came home injured, causing Ash and Professor Kukui to investigate the reason behind its injuries. This led them to [[Clawmark Hill]], where they discovered that Rockruff had been fighting with other wild Pokémon, including a {{p|Magmar}}. With Ash's help, Rockruff was able to master {{m|Rock Throw}}, which helped it defeat Magmar. At the end of the episode, Professor Kukui encouraged Ash to catch Rockruff after seeing the bond the two had developed. | In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', Rockruff came home injured, causing Ash and Professor Kukui to investigate the reason behind its injuries.

In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was used in its first official battle, in which it faced [[Hiroki]] and his {{p|Mudbray}}.

In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Ash discovered while washing Lycanroc that it was so proud of its appearance that it would fly into a rage and attack if its fur got dirty. Lycanroc attacked {{AP|Litten}} and Litten fought back, with Ash placing himself between his two errant Pokémon. This helped Lycanroc to calm down, and it was very apologetic towards Ash. Later, Ash used Lycanroc to battle Gladion's {{p|Type: Null}}, nicknamed Silvally, where it was outmatched by its opponent sheer power. During the battle Lycanroc was thrown into a nearby lake which drenched its fur, causing another rage during which it refused to listen to Ash's commands. Despite this, Silvally was still the stronger opponent and Lycanroc was easily held at bay before it could regain control of itself. After Lycanroc recovered, Ash and Gladion decided to continue the battle, but despite its best efforts, Lycanroc couldn't stand up to the power of Silvally's {{m|Crush Claw}} and was defeated. | In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Ash discovered while washing Lycanroc that it was so proud of its appearance that it would fly into a rage and attack if its fur got dirty.

It saved Lillie from Clefable's {{m|Moonblast}} with an {{m|Accelerock}}. After Lycanroc knocked back Clefable with a {{m|Rock Throw}}, Lillie reminded Clefable of the Clefairy doll they used to play with together, in order to free it from Nihilego's command. When Clefable began powering up a move, Lillie gestured Lycanroc and Snowy not to attack before freeing Clefable with a simple embrace. | ||
In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was used to battle [[Nanu]], going up against his {{p|Krookodile}}. During the battle, Nanu had Krookodile deliberately anger Lycanroc, even going so far as to make it go berserk by dirtying its fur with {{m|Mud-Slap}}. Despite the furious attacks in its angered state, Lycanroc was defeated after Krookodile used {{m|Counter}} to send it flying before finishing it off with {{m|Crunch}}. Afterwards, at [[Acerola]]'s library, Lycanroc sulked over its defeat. It was cheered up after Ash asked Acerola to help him find a place where he could train for a rematch with Nanu. | In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was used to battle [[Nanu]], going up against his {{p|Krookodile}}.

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the [[Ultra Beast]]s they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon. After the successfully executed {{m|Splintered Stormshards}} had left the two Ultra Beasts momentarily vulnerable, {{an|Lana}} and Lillie were able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them and thus complete the mission. | In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the [[Ultra Beast]]s they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon.

Lycanroc is normally a playful, affectionate Pokémon that gets along well with both Ash and its previous caretaker, Professor Kukui. The first night Ash stayed with the Professor, Rockruff, Pikachu, and Ash were quickly able to befriend each other. As a Rockruff, like other members of its species, it likes to greet and show affection to others by rubbing up against them with the rocks on its neck, although it doesn't seem to be aware that it stings the recipient. Its affectionate personality was also shown in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where, despite the fact that {{AP|Litten}} was angry toward it whilst eating and whilst relaxing at home, it continued to eat and smiled back at Litten respectively. Lycanroc appears to take its failures rather personally. As a Rockruff in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', after knocking out {{AP|Rowlet}} in a fit of anger, it immediately came to its senses and regretted what it had done, and, despite ultimately winning against [[Olivia]], was still visibly upset in [[SM037|the next episode]]. At the end of ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was seen sulking in the corner of [[Acerola]]'s house after losing its battle with [[Nanu]]'s {{p|Krookodile}}, prompting Ash to give it a pep talk. | Lycanroc is normally a playful, affectionate Pokémon that gets along well with both Ash and its previous caretaker, Professor Kukui.

Although Rockruff lived with Professor Kukui before being caught by Ash, it was actually a wild Pokémon that Professor Kukui was taking care of. When Ash revealed this to his classmates at the [[Pokémon School]], {{Rotom}} added that Rockruff readily bond with humans even if they are not captured by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. After evolving, Lycanroc started taking great pride in its fur, as shown in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', and is shown to enjoy being groomed and taking baths despite being a {{type|Rock}}, as observed by Rotom. However, if angered enough, such as when its fur gets dirty, Lycanroc's eyes turned red, and it would fly into a rage, lashing out at whomever it thought was responsible. When this happened, Lycanroc became [[obedience|disobedient]] and ignored Ash's commands. This weakness caused problems later during Ash's battle with Gladion and {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}, and was later the cause of its defeat at the hands of Nanu and his Krookodile in ''Tough Guy Trials!''. In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Lycanroc was able to overcome this destructive habit with the help of Ash and the bond the two shared, remembering a memory it had when it played in the mud happily with Ash and Pikachu when it was still a Rockruff. After this, Lycanroc no longer goes berserk when its fur is dirtied, as seen in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', where it got a bit of mud on its face and only reacted with disappointment. In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Lycanroc was revealed to have gained full control of its red-eyed state, allowing it to use it as a boost of power. | Although Rockruff lived with Professor Kukui before being caught by Ash, it was actually a [[wild Pokémon]] that Professor Kukui was taking care of.

Lycanroc has a strong sense of smell as a Rockruff, which has been used to help find {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, Ash's missing [[Electrium Z]] and [[DJ Leo]]'s {{p|Dugtrio}}. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', it is revealed that Ash and Pikachu had to rely on Lycanroc's nose to guide them back from [[Ten Carat Hill]] after {{an|Light trio|Nebby}} had fallen asleep. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Lycanroc is shown to spar with Litten on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. | Lycanroc has a strong sense of smell as a Rockruff, which has been used to help find {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, Ash's missing [[Electrium Z]] and [[DJ Leo]]'s {{p|Dugtrio}}.
