With the launch of thePokémon GO Lustrous Odysseyevent on July 19, 2025, players can now get their hands onDusk Form Lycanroc, but it’s not as straightforward as it seems. So how do you get your hands on, arguably, the strongest form of Lycanroc?
How to get Midday and Midnight Forms of Lycanroc
To get the brown, quadruped Midday Form of Lycanroc, you evolve your Rockruff using 50 Rockruff Candy atany time during the day.
To get the red, biped Midnight Form of Lycanroc, simply evolve your Rockruff using 50 Rockruff Candy atany time during the night.
Before you evolve your Rockruff, you’re able to check the silhouette within the evolve button to see what you’ll end up with.
How to get Dusk Form Lycanroc
In short, you need to have a Rockruff in your arsenal which has been caught or hatched after June 24, 2025, although it’s not guaranteed that this Rockruff will evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc. Unfortunately, this does mean that if you’ve been saving a particularly powerful Rockruff to become a Dusk Form Lycanroc, it is ineligible.
Here are some of the ways you may potentially get an eligible Rockruff:
After that, this turns into a game of luck, becausethere are essentially two types of Rockruffs – those who evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc and those who don’t. To tell if you have an eligible Rockruff, all you have to do is check the Evolve button. If there is a sunset symbol alongside the needed Candy, you’ve got yourself a Dusk Form Lycanroc waiting to be evolved.
Once you’ve established that your Rockruff will evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc, you need to wait until dusk – that’s around sunset in your time zone – to evolve it.
These Rockruff willonlyevolve into Dusk Form Pokemon, so if you’re chasing either a Midday or Midnight Form Lycanroc, you’ll need to get another Rockruff.
