The Season of Alola event in Pokémon Go is here, and with it comes many new Pokémon originally found in the Alola Region. Rockruff is a very popular Pokémon from Alola and is catchable in a few different ways during this event. The shiny form of the Pokémon has been added to the game, so players hoping to catch it should be sure to focus on hatching 10km Eggs and battling in Rockruff's one-star raids.
