Lycanroc GxBurning Shadows #136 Pokémon Card

Lycanroc is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, evolving from Rockruff. It is unique among many Pokémon for having multiple forms, specifically Midday Form, Midnight Form, and Dusk Form, each influenced by the time of day Rockruff evolves. Midday Form Lycanroc, depicted on this card, is known for its swift movements and loyal nature, often seen running alongside its Trainer. It prefers to live in mountainous regions or rocky areas, where its agility allows it to navigate treacherous terrain with ease. Lycanroc is a carnivorous Pokémon, primarily preying on smaller rock-dwelling creatures. In the anime, Ash Ketchum famously owns a Dusk Form Lycanroc, showcasing its fierce battling spirit and deep bond with its trainer. Its distinct forms and strong presence in the Alola region's lore have made it a fan favorite, embodying themes of loyalty and the raw power of nature. Its Rock typing gives it a unique set of type matchups, being strong against Fire, Ice, Flying, and Bug types, but vulnerable to Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel types. Lycanroc plays a significant role in the Alola region's ecosystem and cultural identity, often appearing in local legends.
