Pokémon GO: Rockruff/Lycanroc Midday or Midnight Evolution Guide

screenrant.com:

Rockruff has been added to Pokémon GO with its evolutionary form, Lycanroc. Both originate from the sixth generation titles Pokémon Sun and Moon. Alola has been the biggest addition to release for the game since the Pokémon GO Johto Tour. Only a handful of Pokémon that debuted in Alola are available, including the starter Pokémon and a small selection from the first area of Pokémon Sun and Moon. In that game, the region was broken into four different islands. Each one has its own set of exclusive Pokémon, and the first chunk to be added from the game originates from Melemele Island.

The thing that makes Rockruff so interesting is that it has three evolutionary forms. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Rockruff can transform into Midday Form Lycanroc, Midnight Form Lycanroc, or Dusk Form Lycanroc. Once Rockruff reaches level 25, it will evolve into one of these forms depending on the time of day within the game. On the Nintendo 3DS, trainers were able to change the time within the handheld's settings, allowing them to choose which version of Lycanroc they'll obtain. In the case of Pokémon GO, the method is still the same, but the game only offers two of its three forms.

Rockruff will transform into Midday Form Lycanroc or Midnight Form Lycanroc depending on the time of day the trainer evolves it. Regardless, both forms will need 50 Rockruff candy to evolve. It's recommended to capture at least two different Rockruff to obtain both of these forms. Pokémon GO will have it labeled if a Pokémon cannot evolve if the time of day isn't appropriate. Since this game is connected to the Internet at all times, trainers will just need to wait until the proper time to evolve their Rockruff.
