The midday form of Lycanroc tend to live in mountains. They are solitary hunters and avoid making packs as to prevent disputes. However, they are fiercely loyal to a trainer that had accepted them during their rambunctious time as a Rockruff.
The midnight form of Lycanroc prefers to let its enemy get the first hit before delivering a devastating counterattack. They are predisposed to violence and easy to get excited by a worthy opponent, signified with their glowing eyes. They will not accept trainers that they feel are poor battlers or give questionable orders.
The dusk form of Lycanroc are usually cool, calm and collected, and very loyal to the trainers they deeply trusted, as well as containing a powerful fighting spirit. When a battle gets heated, they choose to attack directly or use counterattacks that inflict double damages on their opponents.

== Trivia ==
* It was teased early on that Rockruff's evolution was to be unique and had a "certain secret". It was later revealed by leaks to be based on a werewolf, which was confirmed in the CoroCoro magazine.
* Rockruff's split evolution follows two common trends of small quadrupedal canine Pokémon: some, such as Growlithe and Vulpix evolve in more "adult" but still animal-like quadrupedal forms, while others like Fennekin and Zorua become bipedal and anthropomorphic upon evolving. The Midday and Dusk forms follows the former, while the Midnight form follows the latter.
* Each form of Lycanroc has its own animation of using Splintered Stormshards. When the Midday Form uses it, the background shows a midday sun. When the Midnight Form uses it, the background is a moon. When the Dusk form uses it, the background is a setting sun.
* Unlike in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Dusk Form Lycanroc can be encountered and caught in the wild in Sword, Shield, Scarlet, and Violet although the encounter rate is very small. In Sword and Shield, Dusk Form Lycanroc can only be caught in raid dens while in Scarlet and Violet, it can be obtained in both the overworld and raids (albeit at 6 star raids).
