* ADogNamedDog: Baile Style Oricorio. "Baile" means "Dance" in spanish, and it's overall not indicative of the style the form it's actually based on - that being the flamenco.

* HotBlooded: Baile Oricorio is passionate in its dances and scatters its fiery down as it dances.
* MagicDance: Aside from Revelation Dance, Sensu style invokes local spirits with their dancing for SoulPower.
* MasterOfNone: They have solid Special Attack and Speed, but its other stats are okay at best. In addition, it can't learn any attacking moves of its secondary types outside of Revelation Dance, and starting in ''Scarlet and Violet'', Icy Wind.

* MythologyGag: Sensu style Oricorio being based on Japanese fan dancing is said to remind people from Kanto of their home, with that region itself being based off of a region of Japan.

* ShockAndAwe: Electric-type Pom-Pom style. It resembles a cheerleader. It creates electric charges by rubbing its feathers and delivers them to enemies through shocking punches.
* ShownTheirWork: In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, only Baile Oricorio can be normally found in the wild (while Pom-Pom is available too, it's actually a rare sight. Meanwhile, you will need to buy the nectar items to get Pa'u and Sensu). This makes sense since Paldea is based in Spain, the country from where flamenco is born. Oricorio Pokedex entries in Scarlet and Violet make reference to this situation.
* SoulPower: Sensu style is a Ghost-type and resembles a geisha dancer.

* PintsizedPowerhouse: Ribombee is easily the smallest fully-evolved Pokémon ever, at just 8 inches/0.2 meters tall -- the same size as Diglett, which held the title of smallest Pokémon for four generations until Joltik came along (since tied by Flabébé and, of course, Cutiefly). Even moreso is the [[KingMook Totem Ribombee]] fought in Mina's trial in ''Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon'', as it's the only not only the final Totem Pokemon in the Island Challenge, but it's the only one that gets a ''+2 boost in all stats'', and while significantly larger than a regular Ribombee, it's still just as tall as a Pikachu (0.4 meters).

* CombatPragmatist: Midnight form Lycanroc, despite not being a Dark type, specializes in fighting dirty by trying to coax the enemy into attacking it and punishing them with a powerful counter attack.
* ConfusionFu: Rockruff is the only standard Pokémon with four different abilities[[note]]Keen Eye: Immune to Accuracy Drops, Vital Spirit: Prevents Sleep, Steadfast: Boosts speed with every flinch, and Special Rockruff have Own Tempo: Prevents confusion[[/note]] without any visible form differences itself, and each one has a unique, practical effect.

* DishingOutDirt: Rockruff and its evolutions are Rock-types, with Rockruff having a fluffy mane with little rocks that resemble a bone collar. When it evolves, these little rocks grow and extend into sharp spikes that can be used for attacks. And a Midday Lycanroc can use the power of the Sandstorm weather condition to double its speed with the Sand Rush ability.
* EarlyBirdCameo: An overworld model for Rockruff was briefly shown in the Starter Pokémon reveal trailer, several weeks before it was officially revealed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Midnight Lycanroc may be a CombatPragmatist BloodKnight so enthusiastic about battles its eyes glow red, but even it has standards on how to fight in those battles, and may begin to resent a trainer that gives orders it finds disagreeable or outright forces it to battle.

* FragileSpeedster: Midday Lycanroc has a pretty good speed stat, but bad defenses. Dusk Lycanroc has virtually identical stats to the Midday one, but it has ever so slightly higher attack and lower speed (a difference of a mere two points in each stat).
* GlassCannon: Despite the different stat spreads and the fact that Midnight Lycanroc was meant to be more defensive, both final forms still fit this because they both have 115 attack and Midnight Lycanroc's augmented defenses are still only a middling 75. Midnight Lycanroc additionally suffers from low speed compared to Midday Lycanroc, making all of its stats but attack unremarkable.

* SchmuckBait: Lore-wise, Lycanroc's Midnight Form tries to coax its enemies into hitting it by dodging enemy attacks and quickly pressing the rocks on its mane hard into them. Anyone that falls for this tactic will get hit with a powerful counter attack.



* SecretCharacter: Dusk Lycanroc can only be obtained by evolving a special Rockruff with Own Tempo as its Ability, initially distributed early in ''Ultra Sun'' and ''Ultra Moon''[='=]s release. Fortunately, it can be bred to create more. ''Un''fortunately, they cannot be wonder-traded.
