Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
Rhyperior	Rhyperior puts its hands together, and small chunks of gray stones come out of the holes on Rhyperior's hands and form together into a large gray rock that is outlined in red. The red outline then fades and Rhyperior throws the rock at the opponent. Rhyperior becomes tired out for a while after the attack is used.

Dwebble	Dwebble puts its claws together and a small gray stone with a red aura around it forms in between them. The rock then grows larger until it is as big as Dwebble itself. The red aura then disappears and Dwebble fires the stone at the opponent.

Crustle	Crustle puts its claws together and a small gray stone with a red aura around it forms in between them. The rock then steadily increases in size. Crustle then fires the stone at the opponent.
