"I don't want this! I just want to be a normal Lycanroc!"
—Boulder to Dawn about his powers, The Dusk Wolf


Boulder the Lycanroc is a young male Dusk Form who makes a minor appearance in The Legend of Fox the Brave in the story Search for the Lost Warriors as Rockruff. He is good friends with Cody the Wolfdog as well as being the son of Finnick the Midnight Lycanroc and his former mate Luna(the Shiny Midnight Lycanroc who bullied Bram the Psyduck in Storm's Struggle). Boulder is the protagonist of the story The Dusk Wolf as Dusk Lycanroc, where he meets two more Dusk Lycanroc, Dawn and Crunch, is the protagonist of Return of Evil and Shadows of Vengeance. As of Shadows of Vengeance, Boulder and Dawn are officially mates, and in the new story, The Heart of a Warrior, Boulder is the father of Sunny the Lycanroc and Pebble the Lycanroc. Also, in The Heart of a Warrior, Boulder is one of the perspectives, alongside Austin and Pebble.


Appearance

As Rockruff: Boulder resembles a short non-anthropomorphic puppy with tan fur, a brown muzzle, and paws, brown-tipped floppy ears, bright blue eyes, and a pink nose. He has a white mane with rocks in it, and an inward-curling, bushy white tail and a white belly.

As Lycanroc: As Dusk Lycanroc, Boulder greatly resembles a Midday Lycanroc, with the addition of a Midnight Lycanroc's mane and he has orange fur and green eyes instead of tan fur and blue eyes.

Personality

As Rockruff: Boulder is a kind-hearted, friendly soul. He is eager and innocent with a deep love for his father Finnick, who greatly contrasts from the usual portrayal of Midnight Lycanroc in the series.

As Lycanroc: As Dusk Lycanroc, Boulder is a more serious fellow. He feels troubled and weighed down by his responsibility as one who can foretell future events or see the past through his visions. After his daughter Sunny hatches, Boulder has a very strong desire to protect her, though Dawn sees it as him being overprotective. In The Heart of a Warrior, Boulder now deeply cares for Pebble, but

History

Before the Series: Boulder was born to the Poni Island Moon Pack(a Pack of Midnight Lycanroc) as the son of Finnick and his former mate Luna. Finnick already wasn't very liked in his Pack because he had more of a Midday Lycanroc's personality rather than that of a Midnight Lycanroc. When Boulder was young, Luna left and Finnick was driven from the Pack because of his reluctance to be savage in any way. The Pack leader chose to raise Boulder as his own purely to spite Finnick and teach the young pup to be savage. However, Boulder had apparently inherited his father's personality, and chose to go with Lucas when the Midday Lycanroc chose to join The Storming Alliance. Later, when Finnick joined, Lucas let him be with his true father, but Boulder continued to allow Lucas to be his adopted father.

Search for the Lost Warriors: Boulder is first seen near the edge of Lamarkie Forest, playing with Cody. When Lucas hears Lycus growling, he hurries over to block the antagonistic Midnight Lycanroc's Stone Edge attack by crouching over him and Cody with them under his belly. Later, while thinking to himself, Lucas considers Boulder more his kin than Lycus.

Return of Evil: See Return of Evil.

Shadows of Vengeance: See Shadows of Vengeance.

The Heart of a Warrior: Boulder serves as one of the POVs.

Powers

Main Article: Boulder the Lycanroc/Powers

Boulder's currently known moves are Bite, Rock Throw, Stone Edge, and Accelerock.

As of Return of Evil, Boulder can use the Z-Move Continental Crush, coming off of either Stone Edge or Rock Throw. As of Storm of Warriors, he can use the exclusive Z-Move Splintered Stormshards.

Recently, due to new lore for Dusk Lycanroc in The Legend of Fox the Brave being created, it was confirmed by the creator that Boulder has the ability to see into the future and past sporadically as sudden visions. It is this that allows Boulder to foretell major events and see past events-thus letting him learn about the Team he fights for. However, he is upset by his powers since he just wants to be a regular Lycanroc. Dawn and Crunch are both Dusk Lycanroc as well, but do not have these powers.

Abilities

Boulder's Ability as Rockruff is unknown, but is either Keen Eye or Vital Spirit, Rockruff's natural Abilities. It's possible that Boulder's Ability as Dusk Lycanroc will be Tough Claws, as that is Dusk Lycanroc's currently only revealed Ability.

Skills

Unknown, but will likely be revealed when Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are released in the US due to Dusk Lycanroc only just having just been confirmed.

Weaknesses

Being a Rock-Type, Boulder is weak to Water, Ground, Fighting, and Steel-Type Pokemon, Resists Normal, Rock, Flying, Fire, Poison, and has a Type-Advantage against Flying, Fire, Ice, and Bug-Type Pokemon.

Relationships

Austin Smith

Given Austin's rather complex personality, Boulder finds him hard to figure out at times. Austin found it hard to forgive Boulder after the Lycanroc mentioned Dallas' death when expressing his doubts about his freedom from Mephiles' evil influence. In Storm of Darkness, however, Austin did forgive Boulder, also saying that he acted like a jerk himself, and that he was always sensitive when it came to the loss of a loved one, particularly his brother, Michael Smith.

Finnick the Midnight Lycanroc

Finnick is Boulder's biological father, and they care deeply for each other. Boulder's friendly, childish personality as a Rockruff somewhat mirrors his father's kind and soft-hearted personality.

Lucas the Midday Lycanroc

Sometime before his debut in the series, Boulder was adopted by Lucas when the older Midday Lycanroc took him away from the Poni Moon Pack and became his adoptive father. When Finnick joined The Megastone Rogues to be with his son, Lucas let Boulder be with his biological father, but Boulder still considers him a father.

Cody the Wolfdog Pup

Boulder was seen playing with Cody in Search for the Lost Warriors, implying that they are good friends, but their full dynamic is unknown.

Dawn the Lycanroc

Boulder and Dawn are mates. Dawn appears to be knowledgeable about Boulder's special powers after his evolution, and is adamant that he must live with them however much he dislikes them. In Storm of Darkness, she and Boulder have a single daughter named Sunny.

Sunny the Rockruff

Boulder's sweet and kind-hearted daughter is very close to her father and mother, loving them dearly, but she is a bit adventurous and Flopper-brained. She tries to adhere to the rules as much as possible, but still desires to explore, as every child does.

Crunch the Lycanroc

Crunch is Dawn's bigger brother and is fiercely protective of her because of their shared tragic past. Like Dawn, he lacks Boulder's special powers. He is rivals with Boulder because of the younger Lycanroc's interest in Dawn.

Dr. Finitevus

Boulder has had little experience with Finitevus due to never encountering him in battle, but has told many things about his crimes. In Storm of Darkness, Finitevus shows a strange interest in Boulder's daughter Sunny; why this is so is currently unknown.

Mephiles the Dark

Mephiles tried to trick Boulder into joining him, but the Lycanroc blew him off, refusing to believe his lies after having been told of what happened during the Battle for New Ninjago City. It's likely that Mephiles views Boulder as nothing more than a means to an end, trying to get Boulder on board with his plans by offering to help him prevent what he sees in his visions, though Boulder isn't fooled.

Quotes

""Get out. We're finished here.". He bent his head to grab Sunny's scruff in his jaws, and when he lifted his head again, he was startled to see Finitevus barely inches from his face. The big warrior took a step back and Finitevus sneered, "Don't count on it, Boulder. We're far from finished with each other." Boulder's mane bristled when he saw Finitevus' mocking yellow stare slide down to Sunny, who whimpered."

Trivia

Boulder is the first pre-existing character that was confirmed to evolve into a Dusk Lycanroc. There are three other Dusk Lycanroc characters confirmed for the series, but never appeared as Rockruff.

  • Crunch, a male, was originally designed as a Midday Lycanroc working alongside Havoc the Jolteon at Slash and Hearth's farm
  • Dawn, a female, is Boulder's mate, and was constantly bothered by her brother Crunch's overprotectiveness until the other Lycanroc ran off.
  • Dusk, a male, is the very first Dusk Lycanroc and was confirmed to be Boulder and subsequently Sunny's ancestor.

Boulder's powers are greatly inspired by those of the character Goosefeather from the Warriors book series, specifically the e-book novella Goosefeather's Curse, which explore his powers.

The scene from the Quote above(from Storm of Darkness) is a reference to a similar scene from the 1998 animated Disney movie The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, the direct-to-video sequel to its smash-hit predecessor, The Lion King.
