Summary
A talentedPokemonfan created a plush toy of Shiny Rockruff. Known as the “Puppy Pokemon,” this Rock-typePokemonfrom Gen 7 is described as friendly when it’s young, but becomes more vicious when it evolves into Lycanroc. But even when it’s being vicious, Rockruff is said to stay loyal to its master.
Rockruff has a unique evolutionary line, as it can turn into different forms of Lycanroc depending on what time it evolves. Lycanroc’s Midday Form (evolved during the day) has light brown fur and is described as “calm and collected,” which is a stark contrast from the vicious red-furred Midnight Form (evolved during the night). Meanwhile, the orange-furred Dusk Form is described as both having calm and vicious qualities. Rockruff and Lycanroc’s distinct appearances stand out even more in their Shiny forms.
OnePokemonfan called AnnushkaToys recently created a sizable plushie of Shiny Rockruff, which has sky blue and white fur with green eyes. The stuffed toy shows Rockruff having a determined look similar to its video game and animated version. Earlier this year,Shiny Rockruff was one of the featured Pokemon inPokemon GO’s Lustrous Odyssey event, along with Midday Lycanroc and Midnight Lycanroc.

This just showsPokemon’s enduring popularity, which will continue to grow as it releases new content and characters, especially withPokemon Legends: Z-Ajust on the horizon.
