The event Rockruff has the ability Own Tempo, but the possibility of Rockruff having this ability is not at all acknowledged on its page. It might be appropriate to add Own Tempo (event only) to the page. As it stands, someone might check the page and come to the conclusion that the Own Tempo Rockruff they received via trade is hacked when that isn't necessarily the case.

Also, the event Rockruff can pass Own Tempo down to its descendants, allowing them to become Dusk Lycanroc if evolved at the correct time of day. It might improve clarity if instead of noting that "Event Rockruff only" can evolve into Dusk Lycanrocs, that "Own Tempo Rockruff only" can do so.

It also is worth noting that the Own Tempo page also doesn't aknowledge the possibility of Own Tempo Rockruff.

Pokemaster DOES acknowledge event only abilities, because Greninja’s page include’s its event exclusive ability, Battle Bond. PM is very busy though, so this might take a while to get to. However, Ash Greninja can not pass down its Battle Bond ability to Froakies, so maybe Pokemaster won’t include Own Tempo to Rockruff’s page. We’ll just have to wait and see.
...Am I the only one completely floored by the fact that Fritjof is here in META posting a question?
I'm floored by the fact that you're almost as active as Eponyta now, Will.
Pokemon DB is missing some event moves, apparently.
Also I'm completely floored by the fact that there are wooden boards under my chair.
omg there's a sudden wave of dead af users coming back wtf this is insane
Pokemaster will add more data when he can.
Are we going to ignore how beautiful sumwun's comment was?

Hey Fritjof, long time no see! Hope you're well :)

I updated this a few weeks ago. Added it as a new form, as that's what the special Rockruff is in reality (as breeding it or Dusk Lycanroc gives the OT Rockruff, not the other one).
