How To Get Own Tempo Rockruff Without Event
Alright, Pokémon trainers! Feeling like your team could use a little extra pep? Maybe a dash of that "can-do" spirit? Then you, my friend, need an Own Tempo Rockruff! And guess what? You don't need some fancy event to snag one. Nope! We're going old-school, problem-solving style. So, let's dive in!
Why all the fuss about Own Tempo Rockruff, you ask? Well, this little pup is special. Its Own Tempo ability means it can't be confused. Confusion, the bane of many a Pokémon battle! Imagine your prized Pokémon slapping itself silly instead of landing that critical hit. Ugh! Own Tempo Rockruff sidesteps that whole mess, evolving into a glorious Dusk Form Lycanroc. A Dusk Form Lycanroc! Who wouldn't want that fiery, sunset-hued beauty on their team?
The Non-Event Route: Breeding Brilliance
Okay, so here's the deal. Since we're bypassing those pesky events (which, let's be honest, sometimes feel like chasing a Shiny Ditto), we're going to get our hands dirty… figuratively, of course. We're talking about breeding!
Must Read
First things first, you need a Rockruff with the Own Tempo ability. "But wait," you're probably thinking, "That's the problem! I don't have one!" Don't panic! Remember those events we're avoiding? Well, previous events did distribute Own Tempo Rockruff. If you traded with someone, or maybe even used Pokémon Bank from an older generation game, you might already have one lurking in your PC box. Dig around! You might be surprised.
If you absolutely, positively don't have one, there's still hope! The GTS (Global Trade Station) is your friend. Search for a Rockruff and offer something valuable in return. People often trade event Pokémon, even if they're not actively advertised as such. It might take some patience, but persistence pays off! Don't give up!
Got your Own Tempo Rockruff? Excellent! Now comes the fun part: the Pokémon Nursery!
Breeding for Success: A Step-by-Step Guide
This is where the magic happens. Follow these simple steps, and you'll be swimming in Own Tempo Rockruff pups in no time!
- Find a Ditto: Ditto is a breeder's best friend. It can breed with almost any Pokémon, making it the perfect partner for your Own Tempo Rockruff. If you don't have a Ditto, catch one! They're usually found in specific areas of the game, so do a little research.
- Head to the Nursery: The Pokémon Nursery is where Pokémon get... well, you know. Place your Own Tempo Rockruff (or the one you traded for) and Ditto in the Nursery.
- Wait (Patiently): This is the hardest part. It takes time for an egg to appear. Wander around, battle some trainers, and check back with the Nursery regularly. The old man outside will let you know if there's an egg waiting.
- Hatch the Egg: Once you have an egg, pop it into your party and walk around. After enough steps, the egg will hatch, revealing a brand new Rockruff!
- Check the Ability: Now, this is crucial. Not every Rockruff hatched from this pairing will have Own Tempo. It's a chance thing. Keep hatching eggs and checking their abilities until you get the Own Tempo Rockruff you crave!
Pro Tip: Use a Pokémon with the ability Flame Body or Magma Armor in your party. These abilities halve the number of steps required to hatch eggs, making the process much faster!
Evolving Your Rockruff: Timing is Everything!
Okay, you've got your Own Tempo Rockruff. Now for the grand finale: evolving it into Dusk Form Lycanroc! But here's the catch: it only evolves during dusk. And not just any dusk! It has to be the in-game dusk, which corresponds to a specific time of day in your game.
To figure out when dusk is in your game, check an online resource. There are plenty of websites that tell you the exact time based on your location. Level up your Own Tempo Rockruff during dusk, and BAM! You'll have your very own Dusk Form Lycanroc.
Important! Make sure your Rockruff is at least level 25 to evolve, regardless of the time of day. A level 100 Rockruff will still not evolve if it is not Dusk, but a Level 25 Rockruff will!
See? It's not so hard after all! With a little patience and some clever breeding, you can get your hands on an Own Tempo Rockruff and evolve it into the magnificent Dusk Form Lycanroc, all without relying on any limited-time events. Now go out there and catch 'em all!
Now, with your own powerful Pokémon, go forth and face every new challenge. Are you ready to discover more secrets hidden within the world of Pokémon? There is so much more to find!
