I think somebody should make a combined image of both forms in 'Lycanroc.png' like in Gastrodon.--[[User:Dominikololo|Dominikololo]] ([[User talk:Dominikololo|talk]]) 17:02, 5 October 2016 (UTC) | I think somebody should make a combined image of both forms in 'Lycanroc.png' like in Gastrodon.--[[User:Dominikololo|Dominikololo]] ([[User talk:Dominikololo|talk]]) 17:02, 5 October 2016 (UTC) | ||
:No, it has different forms. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Shouldn't we then split up Gastrodon's art into two images? It has different forms as well, West Sea and East Sea. In fact, the file history for Gastrodon's art shows old revisions with the two forms in different positions relative to each other — i.e., it seems to be the case that these are two separate pieces of art that someone put together in one image, then someone else put together again in a slightly repositioned image. I think we should be using the art separately for Gastrodon, if that's the case. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:05, 5 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
==Trivia - Origin== | |||
Midday Lycanroc's design seems to incorporate a ''roccale'' or "wolf collar" - a collar with spikes in it, designed to protect herding dogs from predatory bites to the neck. It's probably a stretch to suggest that the "roc" in its name could also refer to a ''roccale,'' but the design is probably worth noting. | |||
... come to think on it, this might also apply to Rockruff as well. [[User:Luprand|Luprand]] ([[User talk:Luprand|talk]]) 23:53, 4 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
:Minus the fluffy part of their collar, they do look like the roccale collars.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]08:38, 5 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
:I second that. I think it's Origin-worthy. --—<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="#fff">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">Best</font>]]</span></font> 20:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
==Breed Origin== | |||
Since Rockruff is based on a {{wp|spitz}}, I believe Lycanroc's forms resemble the {{wp|Shikoku (dog)|Shikoku}} breed most. In particular, Midday matches the Hongawa line and Midnight fits the Hata as described in [http://shikokuclub.org/shikokuken_history.php this article's fifth paragraph]. Just like Lycanroc is based on werewolves, Shikoku are called Japanese Wolfdogs. Look up photos and see how the dark and light varieties of Shikoku coats match each Lycanroc form. Shall I add this origin? --—<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="#fff">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">Best</font>]]</span></font> 20:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
== regarding this part of the article == | |||
'''In Pokémon Sun, Rockruff evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc when leveled up in the day.''' | |||
'''In Pokémon Moon, Rockruff evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc when leveled up at night.''' | |||
is this legit?, if so what happens when Rockruff levels up in the day in Moon and vice-versa --[[User:Draph91|Draph91]] ([[User talk:Draph91|talk]]) 08:32, 2 May 2017 (UTC) | |||

== Dusk Form Lycanroc coloration == | |||
I think Dusk Form Lycanroc may be colored after a {{wp|Maned wolf}} or maybe a {{wp|Red fox}} [[User:TossedDwarf5019|TossedDwarf5019]] ([[User talk:TossedDwarf5019|talk]]) 14:00, 6 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
I think this is a Maned Wolf.--[[User:Lockheedpryde|Lockheedpryde]] ([[User talk:Lockheedpryde|talk]]) 14:15, 6 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Combining images == | |||
This has been discussed before, but with the introduction of Dusk forme I feel that it should be talked about it again. The different Lycanroc formes are distinct from each other, not just cosmetic changes. There is no official 'initial' form like with Rotom or Wishiwashi, and no way to swap formes such as with Oricorio or Zygarde. | |||
As such, they should they should get equal visibility in the artwork image. We already have a precedent for this with Basculin, Meowstic, and Aegislash. The Midday and Midnight images should be fused into one single image, with Dusk below that. Once the official artwork for Dusk is realeased, it should join them. | |||
I'd change the image myself, but I presently do not have clearance to upload images. Would someone with the appropriate permissions please consider editing this? [[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 00:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
:If you want an official order, there ''is'' one: the Pokedex puts Midday before Midnight. | |||
:I would also argue that combining forms into one image may not be our best idea. When you do that, you lose the explicit captions under each form's image, opening up the possibility that someone may get confused about which one is which form. Especially if you're talking about three forms. Also: three Pokemon in one image is crowded IMO. | |||
:I'm not entirely sure how Oricorio (or some one of the other dozens of Pokemon with forms) is okay but Lycanroc isn't, but it's just a flaw of our presentation—and a minor one. I mean, if you really want to complain, I'd suggest that [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/lycanroc Pokemon.com's Lycanroc entry] is much "worse", since it doesn't even show the other forms by default. (In short...it's not a big deal.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:49, 10 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
::To me, the Pokedex you linked is not a good indicator as to which forme is 'dominant', seeing as how it also hides the secondary formes of the other Pokemon I've previously mentioned. I've also already stated why Lycanroc should be handled differently than the other Pokemon with forme changes in my original post. | |||
::The way I see it, the wiki should be consistent with itself when possible. Either Lycanroc and Wormadam should have their images combined, or Basculin, Meowstic, Aegislash, and Gastrodon should have their images split. I've already given my reasoning as to why it should be the former, but if you and other users truly feel that the images should stay split, could you at least go and fix the other articles as well? [[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 01:07, 10 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::I didn't link the Pokemon.com Pokedex as a reference for that order, but it ''is'' still very official. Regardless, in this particular case, it definitely matches the in-game Pokedex (I did check before myself). | |||
:::You gave a ''reason'', but it's not ''logical'' to me. The fact that Oricorio can change forms doesn't make any sense to me as a justification for it being "okay" for Oricorio to have one form more prominent (whereas Lycanroc isn't okay). If you ask me, being able to change forms would just mean that all forms are equal and none should be most prominent. | |||
:::I also don't see how you can say that combining Lycanroc (who you say is not just a cosmetic difference) would be consistent when Gastrodon is also combined (which ''is'' just a cosmetic difference). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
::::If you feel that the Oricorio and Gastrodon pages are not consistent, I implore you to fix them as well. I just want the wiki to have a uniform attitude on the topic moving forward. | |||
::::I take it neither of us will be changing our stance on this any time soon, so it seems that we're at a bit of an impasse. Hopefully a third party could come along and settle this, but I guess we'll just be sticking with the status quo for now. Thank you.

{{indent}} My two cents: I'm agnostic on this particular page, but I strongly agree with INGAP that we need to have a better reasoning than inertia for which ones are treated in which way. Whatever can be devised, I'm cool with, but we do need ''some'' kind of reasoning. As it is, I can see no apparent similarity between Basculin, Meowstic, Aegislash and Gastrodon to justify their being treated the same way, much less a reason for that way to be different than how every other set of forms is treated.

==Polish name for Dusk Form== | |||
I see that there is Polish name for Dusk Form on the bottom of page, although I couldn't find any source of it. Where was that name found? [[User:OrangeDoggo|OrangeDoggo]] ([[User talk:OrangeDoggo|talk]]) 13:10, 24 August 2017 (UTC) | |||

== Dusk Form Lycanroc for Main Image == | |||
I propose that since the first two forms of Lycanroc are version exclusives, and the Dusk Form can be obtained in both games, we should make Dusk the primary (large) image on the page and have Midday and Midnight as the secondary and tertiary images (unlike current, where Midday is the primary image, and Midnight & Dusk are secondary and tertiary.) Anyone agree? [[User:Unusual Venusaur|"Mrawr." - Unusual Venusaur]] ([[User talk:Unusual Venusaur|talk]]) 01:02, 28 January 2018 (UTC) | |||
:The main image should be whichever form was introduced '''first''', and that is the Midday and Midnight forms. Midday form gets the "focus", because alphabetically, it comes first.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#F1912B">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F6B775">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#5599CA">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#90BDDC">ire</span>]] 03:52, 28 January 2018 (UTC) | |||
== An error regarding Midday Form info in Biology? == | |||
Looking at the "the Midday Form prefers to live alone and does not form a pack with others of its kind" part, shouldn't that apply to the Midnight Form instead of Midday Form? It appears to be referring to the Midnight Form Ultra Moon Pokédex entry that says "They live alone without forming packs." (also, this info is not mentioned in Midnight Form part of Biology), whereas none of the Midday Form Pokédex entries implies that and the note [1] doesn't appear to lead to the right site page anymore. --[[User:Dmr11|Dmr11]] ([[User talk:Dmr11|talk]]) 22:17, 28 April 2020 (UTC)dmr11 | |||
:It's not an error, it comes from the pokemon-sunmoon website. Most of those pages are indeed gone now, so I just updated it with an archived version where it does indeed say that midday lycanroc don't form packs in order to avoid fighting.

== Sword/Shield Evolution == | |||
Just evolved Rockruff in Pokemon Shield at 5pm local time, it became Midday form Lycanroc. Any data on other forms in the new gen? --[[User:Lithl|Lithl]] ([[User talk:Lithl|talk]]) 00:02, 19 June 2020 (UTC) | |||
:Evolved my Rockruff at about just after 8pm, into a Midnight form. Dusk form can apparently be found in Max Raid Battles, but I haven't seen for myself. And from what I've read, Dusk form can be evolved from a Rockruff if it has {{a|Own Tempo}} and levels up to or past Lvl. 25 between 7pm and 8pm.
