Flavor Text Entries
- Sun: It’s considered to be a good Pokémon for beginners because of its friendliness, but its disposition grows rougher as it grows up.
- Moon: This Pokémon has lived with people since times long ago. It can sense when its Trainer is in the dumps and will stick close by its Trainer’s side.
- Ultra-Sun: As they develop, their disposition grows more violent and aggressive. Many Trainers find them too much to handle and abandon them.
- Ultra-Moon: When it rubs the rocks on its neck against you, that’s proof of its love for you. However, the rocks are sharp, so the gesture is quite painful!
- Sword: This Pokémon can bond very strongly with its Trainer, but it also has a habit of biting. Raising a Rockruff for a long time can be challenging.
- Shield: This Pokémon intimidates opponents by striking the ground with the rocks on its neck. The moment an opponent flinches, Rockruff attacks.
