>>29694617It's not so much that Lycanroc don't look Rock-type, it's that they don't look pure Rock-type (like all 3 of your examples).
>Rockruff and Midday could easily be Rock/NormalThey have the same basic design principles as the half-normies: elemental aspect that doesn't take up the whole body (Litleo's red mane, Heliolisk's frills, Girafarig's ass, Diggersby's ears, Sawsbuck's plants growing on its antlers), my mom's animal (all the Normal/Flying birds and Bibarel), and fluffiness (Bewear, Drampa, Pyroar).
>both Lycanroc forms could pass as Rock/FightingMidnight is a biped that likes to fight and gets a Fighting-type move as its """signature.""" Midday is proud of its power and Gen 5 and Stuffal set the precedent that quadrupeds qualify for Fighting.
>Midnight could pass for Rock/Dark, Rock/Fairy, or Rock/GhostRock/Dark goes without say, though it would probably be a shitty typing for its intended playstyle. Rock/Fairy makes sense because moon powers and fairytale creatures like the Big Bad Wolf. Rock/Ghost fits with the expansion of Ghost-types including spooky eyed channellers/shadow users, plus Lunala being Psychic/Ghost.
