none of the rockruff line look like rock types. "types" in modern pokemon don't mean anything anymore. it's just a gameplay balancing thing and is divorced from the pokemon's design.

Nothing new. All the Ice types used to be that way, only when they introduced Glalie did we see a Pokemon with actual ice on its body. Most Ground types don't suggest they have mud/sand/earth powers from their designs either.

Rock and Steel have always been strange types in that they're the only ones where the typing implies that a part of the Pokemon's body is made of that substance (aside from maybe grass). I'm fine with them getting away from that a bit.

Stuff like Mawile or Jiraichi don't scream Steel from a first glance either. Rockruff/Sunruff with its rock collar are basically the same in terms of obvious typing. And I guess that those "claws" around Moonruff's body are probably supposed to be made of rock too.

Either way it's far more than what moondog has. Nothing about it at all suggests rock.

Your reaching is what's blatantly obvious.

It neither looks like a rock nor is one. It's just hair. It even moves like hair >>28667233

Moondog fags don't even have any straws do grasp for. Nothing in its design conveys its type.
