The '''Rock type''' (Japanese: '''いわタイプ''' ''Rock type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Rock-type Pokémon are the [[Gym Leaders]] [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]], [[Roxanne]] of [[Rustboro City]], [[Roark]] of [[Oreburgh City]], and [[Grant]] of [[Cyllage City]]. [[Jasmine]] is also stated to have trained Rock types in the past. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all Rock-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.
The '''Rock type''' (Japanese: '''いわタイプ''' ''Rock type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Rock-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Rock-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, and {{type|Water}} moves.

==Characteristics==
===Additional effects===
===Defense===
Rock-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition, introduced in [[Generation II]].
The Rock type is rather risky defensively. Tied with {{t|Grass}}, Rock types have the most weaknesses of any type, with five. The fact that Rock-types on average have mediocre {{stat|Special Defense}} makes it harder to survive against its weakness to {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Water}} moves, which are typically Special in nature. Double weaknesses among Rock types are very common, particularly to the {{t|Fighting}} type. Their typically low {{stat|Speed}} stat also makes it harder for them to outspeed sweepers.


However, as Rock types have an overall high {{stat|Defense}}, this allows them to take physical hits and stay on the field as long as they need to. Rock-types have key resistances to {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Flying}} moves, and the type is one of only three that resists {{t|Normal}}, the other two being {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Ghost}}, with Ghost types being completely immune to Normal attacks.
Starting in [[Generation IV]], Rock-type Pokémon have their {{stat|Special Defense}} boosted by 50% during a sandstorm.
 
Since [[Generation IV]], the Special Defense of a Rock-type Pokémon is increased by 50% during a {{weather|sandstorm}}, in addition to being immune to the damage caused by it. Furthermore, the Ability {{a|Sand Stream}} is quite commonly used due to its previously easy access and reliability. Moreover, most Rock types can learn {{m|Stealth Rock}}, an [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]] moves that damage opposing switch-in Pokémon based on the type effectiveness against Rock.
 
===Offense===
Rock is one of the best types offensively. Rock types can deal {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} damage to several  common offensive types: {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Flying}}, as well as {{t|Bug}}. Being resisted by only three of the eighteen types ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Steel}}), and the fact that only a few Pokémon have a double resistance to Rock keeps its moves relatively effective. As Pokémon of the three types that resist Rock typically can learn Rock-type moves, this proves a quite versatile combination. Double weaknesses to Rock are relatively common, mostly due to many Pokémon which have {{t|Flying}} as a secondary type.
 
The biggest drawback of Rock-type moves is the large percentage of moves which have less than 100% accuracy; in particular, the commonly used {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Stone Edge}}. This can be alleviated by using accuracy-boosting items or moves which guarantee a hit such as {{m|Lock-On}}. Overall, Rock is a powerful offensive type when paired with moves of other types for coverage and accuracy.
 
===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Rock-type moves are typically {{OBP|Tough|condition}} moves. None of them are {{OBP|Cute|condition}} moves.


==Pokémon==
==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 55 Rock-type Pokémon or 7.3% of all Pokémon (assuming [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the 9th rarest type.
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Rock-type Pokémon|pages}} Rock-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Rock-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon, causing it to tie with {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Ground}} as the 6th rarest type after {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.

==Moves==
==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 26 Rock-type [[move]]s, which makes up 2.78% of all moves (excluding those that are Rock-type only under certain circumstances), making it the rarest type among moves, with {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Flying}} tied as the second rarest.
Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Rock-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fighting (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Rock-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
 
Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Grass}}, {{TCG|Water}} or {{TCG|Psychic}} with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against most {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon and some {{TCG|Colorless}} Pokémon, whilst some Colorless and Psychic Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

In the TCG

Main article: Fighting (TCG)

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Rock-type Pokémon are generally listed as Fighting-type Pokémon.

Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Grass, Water or Psychic with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against most Darkness and Lightning Pokémon and some Colorless Pokémon, whilst some Colorless and Psychic Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

Trivia

  • Generation III introduced the most Rock-type Pokémon of any generation, with twelve. Generation VII introduced the fewest Rock-type Pokémon, with five.
  • Generation IV introduced the most Rock-type moves of any generation, with six, while Generation VI introduced the fewest Rock-type moves, with only one.
  • Tied with Grass, Rock types have the most weaknesses of any type, with five.
  • Rock-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest Speed of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon
  • In the first season of the anime and during much of Generation I, the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Electric-type attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the Geodude and Rhyhorn evolution lines, and Onix) were part Ground-type and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon around at the time (the then five Fossil Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
  • In the anime on multiple occasions, like in Showdown in Pewter City, Sick Daze and Right On, Rhydon!, Ground and Rock-type Pokémon are said to have a strong aversion to water and generally being wet. Rhydon is often presented as an exception to this rule due to its ability to use the move Surf.
  • The Rock type is tied with the Grass type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five. However, a combination of the two types (Rock/Grass) would only have four weaknesses.
    • Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types Grass is weak to, with Poison being the exception.
  • Most Fossil Pokémon are either part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
  • Johto's Olivine Gym was a Rock-type Gym before the Steel type was discovered.
    • This makes Unova the only region with Gyms not known to have ever had a Rock-type Gym.
  • The Rock-type has the fewest special moves of all types, with three.
  • Despite being introduced in Generation I, there were no pure Rock-type Pokémon until Generation II, with only Sudowoodo.
  • The Rock type has been paired up with every other type except for Ghost and Normal.
    • This makes Rock the only type to not have been paired up with Ghost.
  • Rock is the only type not represented by a Gym Leader, an Elite Four member, or a Team Star Boss in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
