Not for battle. Lycanroc has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Lycanroc?
Lycanroc has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex and any of the special variants below, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Lycanroc a good raid attacker?
Lycanroc ranks #102 of 294 rock attackers with 11.2 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.

Yes. Shiny Lycanroc is available from evolution, photobomb, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
