Lycanroc

The **Lycanroc** is a species of Pokemon that appear in *The Legend of Fox the Brave*. Several have appeared throughout the series, with three, Boulder, Crystal, and Pebble serving as protagonists

Originally native to the Alola region, Lycanroc can now be found all over the Four Worlds, either in packs or alone, depending on their preference

## Description

Lycanroc is a Pokemon species, also called the Wolf Pokemon. They are originally native to the Alola Region, though after the discovery of the Galar Region, it has also been discovered that there are Lycanroc that live on the nearby Isle of Armor

Following the Coming of Alola, several packs of Lycanroc have moved to the Four Worlds, and now live throughout them

### Vocalizations

All three Lycanroc Formes can perform a wide range of barks, growls, yips, yowls, howls, yelps, and snarls

They can also make a sound simply called a "rumble". This sound is usually used to express amusement, joy, or to give warning without giving a full growl

Dusks can also perform a full-on roar. Often this is used for intimidation, or to express frustration, grief, or to deliver a challenge

## Appearance

Middays and Dusks look very similar in appearance. They are both quadrupedal canines with thick manes, four rock-spikes in their manes, three long brown claws on each paw, and long, thick tails

The big differences between the two are that Middays have blue eyes, bushy manes, and tan fur, while Dusks have green eyes that turn red when enraged, longer, smoother manes that hang over their faces, and orange fur. Dusks also tend to be stockier in build than Middays, having taller and broader at the shoulder, with wider paws

Midnights are bipedal with red and white fur, a thick mane that hangs over their faces, completely red eyes, and a tail that is a short tuft. They have long, thin arms, and long strong hind legs that are often bent

**Shinies:**

* Middays have blue fur and green eyes
* Midnights have blue fur, but nothing else changes
* Dusks have blue fur darker than a Midday's but lighter than a Midnight's, and blue-green eyes

**Albinos:**

* Middays have pale white fur, pale lavender-purple eyes, and cream-colored rock-spikes and claws
* Midnights greatly resemble Middays in color, with paler red eyes
* Dusks also resemble Middays in color, with ice-blue eyes

**Melanistics:**

* Middays have dark purple-black fur in place of tan with paler gray fur in place of white. Their rock-spikes and claws are black, and they have pale tealish-colored eyes
* Midnights resemble Middays in color, with pale orange eyes instead of red
* Dusks also resemble Middays in color, with dark lavender-purple eyes

## Behavior

It has been noted that a Lycanroc's general behavior depends on where they grew up

Alolan Lycanroc tend to be very strict about how they act

Middays are generally distant to the point of being unwelcoming, though they are civilized and polite

Midnights tend to be aggressive, mean, rude, and generally hostile to outsiders of their packs. There are only two known exceptions to this

Dusks are often loners, preferring to keep to themselves unless sought out by other Lycanroc for their power of foresight(if they have it)

In the Four Worlds and in Galar, Lycanroc are much more welcoming, and more willing to mingle with other Formes or Pokemon. Mixed packs of all three Formes are fairly common

### Battle

Middays are straightforward in their attacks. They prefer to zip in and out, striking their opponent when they are close enough. When speed is not an option, they will strike out with their paws, often gripping their opponent with their front paws and battering them with their hind paws

Midnights prefer to let their opponents get close before dealing back twice as much damage as they receive. When that fails, their favorite move is to also grip with the front paws and strike with the back paws. This move is easier for Midnights because they are bipedal and have better grip with their forepaws

Dusks use a combination of Midday and Midnight battle strategies when they fight. Some like to use the "speed-strike" strategy, as it is called, others will use Counter to knock the opponent back

## Territory

In Alola, Middays and Midnights keep strictly to packs of their own kind. There is noted to be one pack of each on each Island, making four Sun Packs(Midday) and four Moon Packs(Midnight), in Alola

Lone Alolan Dusks don't have a set territory, and tend to wander the Island they choose to live on

In the Four Worlds and Galar, a pack will take whatever territory they feel most comfortable with, with the size of the territory depending on the size of the pack

## Abilities/Skills

Lycanroc's moveset depends on the forme. All three forms focus more on physical attacks, though they have a couple known Special Attack in the form of the moves Snarl and Hyper Voice

Dusk Lycanroc have a chance of gaining a power called "foresight" upon evolving. This power allows Dusks to have sporadic visions of the past or future, as well as have a very limited power to walk in dreams and sense someone's emotions as long as they are in direct contact with that person

However, they have no control over any of these powers. In regards to the latter two powers, Dusks often keep their distance from others to let them keep their privacy
