Characteristics

Defensively, the Rock-type tends to have very high physical defense, but weaknesses to common physical moves such as Close Combat and Earthquake. Theirspecial defense, thought, tendsto be around the average. Most Rock-types are vunarble to Water, a type that still has many special-based representers. For some reason, Rock/Steel, tow types knowen in their realistic versions to be very sturdy, give X4 weaknesses to the Ground and Fighting types.

Offensively, the Rock-type is considered one of the best types. Only two pokemon are X1/4 resistiant to Rock-Lucario and Steelix-even less than the Ice-type, and no pokemon so far is immune to Rock. Rock-type moves are useful and Ground-types, beeing resistes together only by Flygon, Claydol, (Levitate) Bronzong and Breelom. Fighting and {{t|Steel-types can also use Rock-types moves effectively. Stealth Rock makes this type even better offenvisely.

In total, there are 37 Pokémon with the Rock-type.

Trivia

  • If there were a hypothetical Pokémon of all 17 types, it would only be weak to Rock-type moves. However it's possible to create more weaknesses by using moves like Foresight to remove immunities.
  • There were no pure Rock-type Pokémon until Generation II.
  • No physical Rock-type move is 100% accurate.
  • In the first season of the Pokémon anime and during much of Generation I, the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Template:Type2 attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, the only Rock-types that were not part Ground were the Fossil Pokémon.
  • The Rock-type is tied with the Template:Type2 for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: Grass, Water, Ground, Fighting, and Steel.
  • Every known Fossil Pokémon so far is Rock-type.
