Why Won’t My Rockruff Evolve into Midnight Form?
If you’re playing Pokémon Moon or Ultra Moon and you’re having trouble getting your Rockruff to evolve into Midnight Lycanroc, you’re not alone. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons why your Rockruff may not be evolving into its Midnight Form, and what you can do to encourage the evolution to happen.
The Evolutions
Before we dive into the reasons why your Rockruff may not be evolving into Midnight Lycanroc, let’s review the evolution process. There are two ways to evolve Rockruff into its Lycanroc form: Midnight Lycanroc or Dusk Lycanroc.
• Midnight Lycanroc: This evolution requires a Rockruff with the Own Tempo ability, which can be obtained through trades or by receiving it from other players.
• Dusk Lycanroc: This evolution is obtained by leveling up a Rockruff during a specific time of day, which is between 6 PM and 8 PM in-game.
Why Your Rockruff Won’t Evolve into Midnight Lycanroc
If your Rockruff isn’t evolving into Midnight Lycanroc, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
• Own Tempo Ability Missing
If your Rockruff doesn’t have the Own Tempo ability, it cannot evolve into Midnight Lycanroc. This can happen if you’re playing in the wrong version of the game or if you didn’t receive the ability through trades or other means.
• Evolving During the Wrong Time
As mentioned earlier, Dusk Lycanroc requires leveling up your Rockruff between 6 PM and 8 PM. If you’re trying to evolve it during a different time, it won’t work. Make sure you check your in-game clock to ensure you’re leveling up during the correct time.
• Wrong Level
Your Rockruff must reach level 25 before it can evolve into Lycanroc. If your Rockruff is still below level 25, it won’t evolve. Make sure you continue leveling up your Rockruff until it reaches the required level.
• Insufficient Care
Sometimes, your Rockruff may not be evolving due to insufficient care. Make sure you’re feeding it properly, using the right type of Poke Balls, and giving it enough experience.
Troubleshooting
If your Rockruff still won’t evolve into Midnight Lycanroc, here are some additional troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Check Your Rockruff’s Status
Check your Rockruff’s status screen to ensure it has the correct ability, level, and experience points. - Level Up Your Rockruff Again
If your Rockruff is below level 25, continue leveling it up until it reaches the required level. - Check Your Time
Check your in-game clock to ensure you’re leveling up during the correct time (6 PM-8 PM). - Trade for Own Tempo
If you don’t have the Own Tempo ability, try trading for it from other players.
Conclusion
If your Rockruff still won’t evolve into Midnight Lycanroc after trying these troubleshooting steps, it may be due to a glitch or a issue with your game. Consider contacting GameFreak’s support team for further assistance.
Remember to always check your Rockruff’s status and level up regularly to encourage the evolution process. Good luck, trainers!
