Discover how to get the rare Dusk Form Lycanroc in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet! Learn to find it in the wild or evolve a special Rockruff.
Alright, so you're looking to snag yourself a Dusk Form Lycanroc in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, huh? It's a pretty rare one, sitting somewhere between the daytime Midday Form and the nighttime Midnight Form. Unlike the others, you couldn't always find this guy just chilling in the wild, making it a bit of a special catch!
There are two main ways to get your hands on one, and both involve a bit of timing and knowing what to look for.
Method 1: Catching Dusk Form Lycanroc in the Wild
Good news! In Scarlet and Violet, they actually made Dusk Form Lycanroc appear in the wild. Keep an eye out for one with bright orange fur, kind of like a sunset. You'll find them spawning in North Province Area One, but only during that sweet spot of sunset. You know, that brief time when the sky is all orange and purple between day and night. Blink and you might miss it!
Method 2: Evolving a Special Rockruff
This is the more traditional way and might be your best bet if you're having trouble finding one in the wild. First things first, you need to catch a Rockruff that has the Own Tempo ability. This is super important – it's the only ability that allows Rockruff to evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc. Other abilities like Keen Eye or Vital Spirit won't cut it.
You'll want to search for these Rockruff in places like West Province Area One. A neat trick to quickly check for Own Tempo is to lead with a Pokémon that has the Intimidate ability. If the wild Rockruff has Own Tempo, it'll cancel out Intimidate, letting you know you've found the right one!
Once you've got your Own Tempo Rockruff, the next step is to level it up to Level 25. But here's the catch: you *must* do this during sunset. Just like when looking for the wild Dusk Form, this is that specific time between day and night when the sky is painted with those sunset colors. The cool thing about this method is you can catch the Rockruff at any time of day, you just need to time the evolution correctly.
So, either keep your eyes peeled during sunset in North Province Area One, or hunt down an Own Tempo Rockruff and level it up at the right time. Good luck!
