My head cannon is that after Ash left Alola, Lycanroc would occasionally sneak out at night, and go to Clawmark Hill. He would face off against the recently evolved Magmortar and after earning the respect of the Pokémon on the Hill he would then start joining the Midday and Midnight Lycanroc in the opening ceremony of Clawmark Hill
I love the storyline of Ash's Rockruff to Lyranoc, it felt like a true bond between a dog and its owner and I'll admit if was one of my favorite moments in the Sun and Moon anime and I am glad you finally made a video on it Hope you have a great day
It's good to see someone acknowledging the greatness of Ash and Gladion's Lycanrocs rivalry. Their rivalry is very amazing, they're not rivals just because of their trainers but also how much impact they made on each othees, Gladion's Lycanroc respecting and accepting Rockruff as his rival that he don't want to hold back in their first battle out of respect, going on his own to rescue injured rockruff and even fight against Guardian deity to protect him, patting Ash's Lycanroc after losing to him in Alola league to congratulate him, Ash and Gladion having personal talk about their own growth and their Lycanrocs together in Alola league. All these kinds of interactions is something lack alot in other pokemon rivalries, as most rival pokemons rarely treat like they've their own character.
After all these years, I'm SO glad they gave Ash a canine pkmn. Plus, not only do I really luv all 3 Lycanroc forms in general, but now this is the very pkmn that gave Ash his Alola league win. All the more reason to luv and cherish Lycanroc 🐺💕
Since dusk for is a combination of mid day and midnight And midnight form is based on a werewolf One could argue that the red eyes as seen on midnight form Is just lycanrock tapping into its darker nature Rather than being its take on blaze
The frightening way that Ash's Lycanroc would fly into a blind rage gave me flashbacks of Korrina's Lucario when it was first learning to control the power Mega Evolution gave it.
@@rainbowpegacornstudios tell me about it, that has to be one of the darkest moments, if that other lucario hadn't stepped in the first time, ash and pikachu would of been history
There is also another thing: Gladion's first match with Lycanroc was almost 35 between them (I said this only by taking into account his knowledge of stone edge), although there was a lvl difference, Gladion felt something in the look in Lycanroc's eyes. Even though he was an opponent he could easily defeat, he saw something in him and In the match, he attacked ruthlessly without holding back. He rescued him from the river and took him to Tapu Lele, so he was even ready to fight against Tapu Lele. Additionally, when Ash and Lycanroc beat those two, it was nice that Gladion said congratulations champion and shook his hand, and at that time, Gladion patted Lycanroc's head and Ash caressed Lycanroc's head. it was a scene
I remember back when before rockruff evolved I anxiously awaited which form it would turn into. My favorite at the time was midday form, but it was quickly dethroned by dusk form. I gotta tell you that is a very keen observation you made, how lycanroc demonstrates Ash’s increased maturity and foreshadowing of his readiness to be a champ. Makes it all the more poetic, that it won ash his first league in the end. As far as an emotional depth to all the Pokémon, sun and moon is one of if not the best seasons for distributing it evenly amongst the cast. Although it’s hard for me to tell, who is the ace between Lycanroc and Incineroar similar to how Pignite and krookodile played tug of war.
It was always unambiguously Lycanroc and Krookodile imo; Lycanroc was repeatedly shown to be stronger than Torracat and so too was Krokorok/Krookodile with Pignite. Pignite constantly lost matches he had no business fumbling, so he can't be called an ace; like how does he KO an Emboar and Heatmor with Fire Pledge but lose to Trip's Superior with zero difficulty?
@@_Koyomi_ there’s more to what makes Denise then how many battles it wins. There’s also character development and Aces tend to go through the most. Torracat went through just as much if not more character development as Lycanroc if not more. Plus the series concluded without us having an accurate comparison of their strength since Torracat evolved and we didn’t get to see it flex it’s new fully evolved muscles. As for krookodile and Pignite, Krookodile definitely had the better win right, Patrick night went through the most character development and had the most screen time by far it went from runt of the litter, tepig, to Champ pignite. Superior was such a deadly opponent it won the whole tournament without a scratch, and yet Pignite lasted the longest of all of its opponents.
When we were introduced to Ash's Rockruff it quickly became one of my favourites, and evolving into a new form of Lycanroc was very cool, I love the development it went through, it was awesome, I wish TBAPM would've had him come back even if just for utilitiy support.
Ash's lycanroc is the main reason why Dusk form lycanroc is my favorite rock type of all time. I love its Coloration. Plus its a hybrid/combination of the midday and midnight forms. Which is why I love it so much. Including its cry in the games. I thought the cry was going to be annoying. But its cry and Dusk Form Lycanroc had grown on me. Ash's lycanroc is his one and only dog pokemon.
Lycanroc was certainly the MVP of the Alola League as Lycanroc helped Ash gain victory in becoming the winner of the first Pokémon league of Alola. Along with how Ash never gave up on Lycanroc when the rock wolf disobeyed him and didn’t make the same mistakes as with Charizard’s disobedience, Sceptile’s broken heart over Meganium, and Greninja’s loss against gym leader Wulfric.
Finally, the very first of the Alola gang.I love Ash's Lycanroc, and it battle with Gladion was the best in the Alola league, and I love the competive relationship with Incineroar.
Great video Lycanroc will always be remembered as the best doggo who won Ash his first official league. but I wish his rivalry wasn’t so underrated which was one of the best in anipoke.
The evolution episode was certainly one of my favorites it had teaming up with its other forms and the training arc to master the red eyes was pretty good as well!
I love the color of dusk form lyconroc! It almost looks like a shiny, but it’s not, ash’s alolan mvp is the first of his alolan mon to come! Great video professor, I look forward to seeing the next video. 😊✌️
Oh yes. The Pokémon that finally made the world rejoice by winning Ash his first league tournament. Such a great personality and battle history and rivalry with its own species. It makes this easily my favorite Alolan Pokémon of Ash. And, appropriately, he became the third and final member of my trio who traveled to a certain location in my one fan-fic. Lycanroc deserves all the accolades he has gotten.
Ash’s Lycanroc is my favorite Pokémon in Ash’s Alola team in the Sun and Moon series from its early days as the cute little puppy Pokémon Rockruff to become the amazing Dusk form Lycanroc thanks for sharing this video looking at the history of my favorite wolf Pokémon in Alola 👍❤️🐺
For Lycanroc I'd say it use a move coverage for instance Crunch upgrading Bite, Drill Run for stab or Iron Head for coverage by using its head even against Gladion's Lycanroc during battle!
Excellent video, Alex! :D I'm glad that Ash's Lycanroc, aka his Alola Ace that helped him became Alola's first ever Champion, got the video it needed! :3
It's tough for me to say who's best, I love Incineroar's emotional storyline, Rowlet is hilarious, Naganadel is basically an anime hero, Lycanroc is intense, etc, etc
I still love the epic Lycanroc battle in the Alola League, I especially loved the part when Lyconroc got countered and Gladion was acting confident but Midnight was panting from exhaustion, showing that Dusk was giving him a lot of trouble
The League winner himself. I really liked Lycanroc. He was a fun little dog who was a very determined battler and had a very interesting arc surrounding it's emotional outbursts.
things to note here dusk form is a hybrid of the other 2 forms. this is further bolstered by its night form rage eyes as well as day form eyes. its learning of the moves both day and night forms cant learn, accelrock for day form and counter for night form makes it not only rare but superior. (pretty sure it was supposed to be able to fight like an Ursaring on its hind legs as well as all four and was scrapped due too to much favoritism.) the abilities of all lycanrocs seems to not exist in the anime, tough claws and no guard would be hard to explain and got reduced to night being tanky and day being faster.
It's really great when the Pokemon get arcs of their own, and I like that it's honestly so special in the anime, always a treat. That being said I do think it's one of those Pokemon that suffers from how the anime was told. Like you pointed out there are comparisons between Lycanroc and both Charizard and Infernape, but I don't think Lycanroc even met those two. And that's always a shame, can you imagine if say when they were training with Bulu Infernape and Bulu had a spar and Lycanroc saw Infernape mastering it's own anger? Would really help Ash's larger team feel connected, them building off each other outside of their small groups.
Lycanrock became my favorite of Ash’s Ace Pokémon because I feel like it did everything right: A unique/special form like Greninja, violent/problematic behaviors it had to work through before and after it evolved like Charizard, and an immense amount of power it had to train to master like Lucario. Lycanrock went through all of this and did it better than any of the other Pokémon I mentioned, in my opinion!
Rockruff is an absolute King. He's a good doggie. Honestly even though there have been so many dog pokemon in the past, Rockruff and the Lycanrocs are the best to me.
What if Officer Jenny grabs May by her bandanna (the red and white one ☝️) in Hoenn and the Kanto Battle Frontier when she tells her to stop 🛑 Professor?
It’s an incredible story arch for Ash’s ace Pokémon and how Lycannroc was able to win and earn his rival’s respect in the series. I wished he can appear in To be a Pokémon master.
Ash’s lycanroc is my of Ash’s Pokémon! I wished Ash would have brought him back during the masters 8 cuz he was the first Ash Pokémon to win to when a league.
Love that title! I have Melmetal's script done & Incineroar shot so 2024 will definitely be the year of Alola for me :) Still working on Rowlet, Nebby & Naganadel.
Lycanrock is one of my Faivourite pokemon Not only Because of the Design but also because of it's Story Like i'll be honest all of ashs alola pokemon Had great Storys 😄
I love how it was Lycanroc to earn him the champion title, I only wish his other rock types like Boldore got more love as i love the idea of ash having a Gigalith, though i feel it would be treated a bit like Torterra
I’ve honestly personally seen lycanroc being something of a spiritual successor to infernape and the dynamic rivalry between infernape and Paul’s electivire
Ash's Lycanroc is in fact his only Pokémon that has fought four legendary Pokémon! And lost in all of them. The only way Lycanroc could return in a fully featured episode is by having Lycanroc defeat a legendary Pokémon to establish its power to legendary levels. PS: the legendary Pokémon Lycanroc fought are Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Sylvally and it's prevolution Type:Null
Lycanroc didn't fight silvally. It did fight type: Null though. And It drew with Tapu Bulu not lost. Besides it was still a rockruff when it fought against tapu lele
All of ash’s alola team did pretty good lycannroc defeated Pokémon in a 3 vs 1 defeated both evolved forms rowlet defeating if final form Torracat evolving after defeating it final form even meltan had some good battles as well as nagelnagel defeating lucario and holding its own against tapu koko
Fun fact, dear Billy of ashes, liking rock allowed able to evolve into dust form and directly confirms that like rocks ability is on tempo since Violet only like rock ruff with temple can evolve into duct, warming rock
Rockruff’s eyes can either go from blue, to blue, green, or red. Lycanroc used Stone Edge against Incineroar just like what Krokorok did against Beartic.
I think Ash’s Lycanroc was very cool and his best Rock type and the first ace to give Ash a league win and do either I Ash’s Incinaroar or Hawlucha next.
Rockruff evolved into dusk lycanroc the same day my Geometry teacher got married Mr. Fisher Exactly 6 months later the evolution foreshadowed the dusk proposal between Kukui & Burnet Shout-out to my Geometry teacher
The fact that olivia knew ash’s rockruff was close to evolving and still didn’t give him the lycanium z was weird cz once ash did get the lycanium z from nanu the rockium z became useless. If she had given ash the lycanium z ash could’ve gotten some other z crystal from nanu. And thus would’ve had more possibilities.
I always feel like lycanroc is still very underrated despite winning the league for ash. People always have krookdile more recognition than this poor pup
If Ash had a Midday Lycanroc, he would literally be the yang to Gladion’s yin. But I think the Dusk version carries both yin and yang traits at the same time.
I want ashs lycanroc to come back so badly I know deep down he's the most strongest ace of alola. He's the king of clawmark gill for a reason and I know he can redeem himself in a 6 vs 6 I know he will.
I think lycanroc got more development than incineroar and was ash's primary battling pokemon. Besides it was ash's final pokemon in his rival battle. With the exception of Hoen(where he didn't really have a proper rival but IM counting the morrison battle for this and unova which was a 1 v 1) ash's regional ace is the last mon standing in his rival battle.
Lycanrock is a great ash Mon tbh, normally I have criticism about ashes mons but I can't think of any of lycanrock it just makes sense in the whole like idea? ( I can't think of the word I'm looking for) of alola
No question lyconroc and incenaroar we’re ash’s the alola aces both pokemon were badass plus I agree with u 100 percent one it’s becoming the stronger rock type in the world
Which Pokemon should we tackle next??
The video I've been waiting for, so what will happen next? If it continues from Alola, let it be one of Inceneor Naganadel or Rowlet. 🤷♂️
Ash’s incineroar
Even if it is not her, solgaleo will pass like her and will she come when the time comes?
Corphish
Ash's Incineroar Or Bayleef ( If haven't done her yet(
My head cannon is that after Ash left Alola, Lycanroc would occasionally sneak out at night, and go to Clawmark Hill. He would face off against the recently evolved Magmortar and after earning the respect of the Pokémon on the Hill he would then start joining the Midday and Midnight Lycanroc in the opening ceremony of Clawmark Hill
I know. I wanna see that.
Now that's something I'd pay to see!
That sounds VERY legit. I can see Ash's Lycanroc doing that.
I love the storyline of Ash's Rockruff to Lyranoc, it felt like a true bond between a dog and its owner and I'll admit if was one of my favorite moments in the Sun and Moon anime and I am glad you finally made a video on it
Hope you have a great day
Thanks! Hope you have a nice day as well
Ash's Lycanroc is the main reason why Dusk form Lycanroc is My favourite Rock type
I just love 😍 it because it's a cute adorable puppy ❤. I ❤ puppies 🐶🐕

Ash's Lycanroc was the best. Great story arc and the Dusk form is so beautiful and adorable. ❤😍
Agreed! (Didn’t know you watched this channel too! Hiii!)
Yeah!
After all these years, I'm SO glad they gave Ash a canine pkmn. Plus, not only do I really luv all 3 Lycanroc forms in general, but now this is the very pkmn that gave Ash his Alola league win. All the more reason to luv and cherish Lycanroc 🐺💕
yeah I'm happy they finally gave Ash a dog pokemon in Dusk form lycanroc. Evolve though its a wolf pokemon.
Since dusk for is a combination of mid day and midnight
And midnight form is based on a werewolf
One could argue that the red eyes as seen on midnight form
Is just lycanrock tapping into its darker nature
Rather than being its take on blaze
Good point!
The frightening way that Ash's Lycanroc would fly into a blind rage gave me flashbacks of Korrina's Lucario when it was first learning to control the power Mega Evolution gave it.
Oh my gosh yeah
@@14oliverhedgehog74 Lucario damn near killed Pikachu, Lycanroc looked like it wanted to rip Ash's throat open.
@@rainbowpegacornstudios such brutality for a "kids show"
@@14oliverhedgehog74
For real. Especially when we get a glimpse of the carnage from Lucario's perspective.
@@rainbowpegacornstudios tell me about it, that has to be one of the darkest moments, if that other lucario hadn't stepped in the first time, ash and pikachu would of been history
Undoubtedly, one of the Ash's best aces

I think that it's number 8 on Ash's strongest pokémon list
It deserved 3rd evolution
Amen :3

Love that title!
Better yet: From Litten to Ace!
Do you consider Incineroar as Ash's Ace?! @@ProfessorAlexSilver
@ProfessorAlexSilver you should use it 😄
Do you think lycanroc or incineroar is ash's alolan ace?

Definitely became my top 3 favorite ash pokemon
Ash and his broken Aloha team! I loved Lycanroc so much!

Loved seeing Lycanroc attain it's own unique dusk form. Sorta felt like an Ash Greninja moment.

Thanks for the amazing video Professor Alex
Lycanroc was such an amazing Pokemon he cemented his status as one of the greats when helped win Ash’s first championship

For Lycanroc I'd say it use a move coverage for instance Crunch upgrading Bite, Drill Run for stab or Iron Head for coverage by using its head even against Gladion's Lycanroc during battle!
Drill run isnt stab
he said for coverages
How about Psychic Fangs
Excellent video, Alex! :D I'm glad that Ash's Lycanroc, aka his Alola Ace that helped him became Alola's first ever Champion, got the video it needed! :3
I remember when lycanroc dusk was first revealed it was for the anime and everyone thought it was like greninja and would be ash-lycanroc
Out of Ash's alolan team, Rockruff/Lycanroc was my favorite! ❤❤
It's tough for me to say who's best, I love Incineroar's emotional storyline, Rowlet is hilarious, Naganadel is basically an anime hero, Lycanroc is intense, etc, etc
I hope you do Incineroar next 😊 I tear up every time I re watch his back story episode
@@ProfessorAlexSilver can you do Dawn’s buneary I have been subscribed to you for a long time

I still love the epic Lycanroc battle in the Alola League, I especially loved the part when Lyconroc got countered and Gladion was acting confident but Midnight was panting from exhaustion, showing that Dusk was giving him a lot of trouble
The little pupper is destend for greatness. From that adorable puppy to proud smiling rock wolf to the Ace pokemon of Aloha history.
The League winner himself. I really liked Lycanroc. He was a fun little dog who was a very determined battler and had a very interesting arc surrounding it's emotional outbursts.
Probably Ash's 5th best pokemon. SM was goated.

I literally watched this video on Tuesday and caught the Dusk form for the first time while playing Violet on Wednesdaythis week.
The man the myth the legend himself💪🏾
Yeah man! I really hope he returns because he has too.
I've been waiting a long time for this!
Same here :)
Lycanroc was one of the best pokemon to come out of sun and moon, especially it's dusk form! Glad Ash got to have that form for his!
What can I say, but in victory or defeat. Ash's Lycanroc really "rocked the worlds" of its opponents and their trainers!
It's really great when the Pokemon get arcs of their own, and I like that it's honestly so special in the anime, always a treat.
That being said I do think it's one of those Pokemon that suffers from how the anime was told. Like you pointed out there are comparisons between Lycanroc and both Charizard and Infernape, but I don't think Lycanroc even met those two.

The reason why ash became a champion finally after 23 yrs
I’ve honestly personally seen lycanroc being something of a spiritual successor to infernape and the dynamic rivalry between infernape and Paul’s electivire

Lycanroc is my favorite Rock Type that the Midnight form has not only a Anime look, And in my series it has a Human Form
Lycanroc server se my most respect since this was the pokemon that helped Ash finally win an official Pokemon League.
Fun fact, dear Billy of ashes, liking rock allowed able to evolve into dust form and directly confirms that like rocks ability is on tempo since Violet only like rock ruff with temple can evolve into duct, warming rock
Rockruff’s eyes can either go from blue, to blue, green, or red. Lycanroc used Stone Edge against Incineroar just like what Krokorok did against Beartic.
I like how Ash owned a cat and and a dog truly goes in with the family of Ash, Kukui, Burner and Lei i dont remember his name cry
I think Ash’s Lycanroc was very cool and his best Rock type and the first ace to give Ash a league win and do either I
Ash’s Incinaroar or Hawlucha next.
Honestly, I never knew who really was Ash's Alolan ace
When our favorite doggo was a Rockruff. It was to freaking adorable
One of Ash’s strongest and overall best Pokémon 🐕🪨
i love how i was watching dog training vids and this just popped up lol.
The mon that "rocked" the world and made headlines by giving Ash the chance to win the Alola League!
I like to headcanon that post-SM Lycanroc and Ash's Alola team train at Clawmark Hill to stay sharp
Rockruff evolved into dusk lycanroc the same day my Geometry teacher got married Mr. Fisher
Exactly 6 months later the evolution foreshadowed the dusk proposal between Kukui & Burnet
Shout-out to my Geometry teacher
Lycanroc & Incineroar were Ash's two Ace's in Alola. I wish Ash had used it in the WCS.
Dusk lycanrock is awsome my favorite form of it
The fact that olivia knew ash’s rockruff was close to evolving and still didn’t give him the lycanium z was weird cz once ash did get the lycanium z from nanu the rockium z became useless. If she had given ash the lycanium z ash could’ve gotten some other z crystal from nanu. And thus would’ve had more possibilities.
I love when Ash gets unique Pokemon !
Will he ever return because i am so desperate to see hom again.
He fought a Type-Null, not a Sylvally.
I always feel like lycanroc is still very underrated despite winning the league for ash. People always have krookdile more recognition than this poor pup
Ashs lycanroc is the true ace. He has to come back to redeem himself from the 6 vs 6 right?
If Ash had a Midday Lycanroc, he would literally be the yang to Gladion’s yin. But I think the Dusk version carries both yin and yang traits at the same time.
Ash's Pikachu's Journey in Jhoto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola and Galar region.
Im hoping ashs lycanrocs will return and redeem himself in a 6 vs 6 because he deserves to come back.
Misty’s Togetic
Ash’s Noivern
Bonnie’s Dedene
Chloe’s Evee
May’s Munchlax
Paul’s Haunchcrow
Ash/ Dawn’s Amipom
The Wild Pichu Brothers
(Im sure i butchered most of those names)
I want ashs lycanroc to come back so badly I know deep down he's the most strongest ace of alola. He's the king of clawmark gill for a reason and I know he can redeem himself in a 6 vs 6 I know he will.
I think ash alola team was better than journey.
Probably one of the most Ash-fitting Pokémon designs tbh, up there with Hawlucha
In my mind, it was Ash's ace in the Sun and Moon series, although I can understand why some would say Incineroar.
I think lycanroc got more development than incineroar and was ash's primary battling pokemon. Besides it was ash's final pokemon in his rival battle. With the exception of Hoen(where he didn't really have a proper rival but IM counting the morrison battle for this and unova which was a 1 v 1) ash's regional ace is the last mon standing in his rival battle.
Lycanrock is a great ash Mon tbh, normally I have criticism about ashes mons but I can't think of any of lycanrock it just makes sense in the whole like idea? ( I can't think of the word I'm looking for) of alola
No question lyconroc and incenaroar we’re ash’s the alola aces both pokemon were badass plus I agree with u 100 percent one it’s becoming the stronger rock type in the world
