Alola everyone! With the recent episode concluding Ash's Grand Trial, Rockruff's increasingly violent/standoffish behavior and Olivia's comment on Rockruff's pending evolution, I wanted to open a thread for speculation. Which form do you think Ash's Rockruff will evolve into? Midday? Midnight? Or a brand new form that may be introduced in Ultra Sun & Moon?

Given how Ash Greninja was allowed to become a reality from a writer's wish, an additional form for Rockruff doesn't seem so farfetch'd.
 
I think it will evolve into a new form which could be called Twilight, Sunset, or Dusk with my preference being Twilight also I think it could be green considering in the preview it showed Rockruff with green eyes from looking at the Sun and "green flashes are optical phenomenon that sometimes occurs just before sunset or right after sunrise".
 
Twilight form confirmed!

LOL Just kidding.
 
New forme, they wouldn't be teasing Rockrfuff's evo as much as they are if they weren't.

That said, if not a new form, then Midday since we probably won't see much of Olivia going forward.
 
Between the incoming merchandise featuring a secret related to the anime, the drought of news about US/UM and the incoming episode mentioning that Rockruff is approaching evolution, it wouldn't surprise me if the anime featured a new Lycanroc form as a way to promote the incoming games and build hype.

After all, the anime has already showed future Pokémon in the series before (Ho-Oh, Togepi, Marill…), so this isn't something unheard of.

If this is only a click bait episode, though, then I'm more inclined to think that Rockruff will choose the Midday form. It seems to suit Ash better than the other form.
 
I hope if it’s not a new form it’s midnight. Though Gladion has a midnight... I just think it’s interesting for it to be like that
 
According to the myth, when a Rockruff evolves, its eyes will glow into a specific color depending on which evolution Rockruff is going to evolve. Grey eyes for Midday form, and the red one for Midnight form. But the green one is different.

Source? This is the first time I've ever seen this mentioned at all.

Was this said in the anime? I can't find it anywhere.

Though going by the green wounds?, green eyes (or yellows eyes if true), and the green sun, I'm leaning towards it being the third form. Green flashes and green rays are optical phenomena that sometimes occur just before sunset or right after sunrise.

I can't remember that where I got this from, but someone told me about it. When a new trailer for USUM shows up in 6th August, we'll see that new form.
 
I'm almost certain given what we've seen in previews, as well as the merchandise listings, that Rockruff will evolve into a new form of Lycanroc. What that form will be called is anyone's guess but if I had to guess it would probably be a Twilight or Evening form, the latter keeping the theme of Lycanroc's forms being named after times of day/night.
 
I can't help but find myself thinking if Rockruff's gonna pull a Pikachu/Bulbasaur/Piplup moment; where it decides not to evolve for whatever reason.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love to see more of Ash's pokemon evolving rather than them staying small and cute for whatever reason. But the show has pulled the "they don't want to evolve" card before.

Still, though, if Rockruff does end up evolving, i would prefer that it either becomes a Midday form Lycanroc or its supposed new form being something similar. I honestly find the midnight form to look too ridiculous for my tastes.

On a related note, what do you think that its personality is going to be like after it evolves? They won't pull another Charizard twist again will they, with the pokemon suddenly deciding to stop listening to Ash for some strange or uncalled for reason?
 
I'm leaning toward it evolving into its Midday Form, only because I have a seriously intense dislike for zombie dog.

~If~ there really is a new form, I would be okay for rock puppy evolving into it as long as it's less hideous looking than the Midnight Form.

They haven't really done anything like that since the original series. While it could be interesting to explore a change in a Pokemon's personality like that, I doubt that they'd do that if for some reason they decided to make Rockruff disobey Ash after evolving. Considering how long it's been since Ash had to deal with a disobedient Pokemon, I think that the chances are really good that they won't do that here.

Personally, I'd like to see Rockruff evolve into Midday form. It's my favorite out of the two Lycanroc forms and while Olivia has one, she probably won't show up for too much of the series. I wouldn't be surprised if it does turn out to be a new Lycanroc form though. It would help to create more buzz for US/UM and could tie in with some news that we'll hopefully get this month as well.
