Rock Head (Japanese: いしあたま Rock Head) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
Rock Head prevents recoil damage from moves (except Struggle), but not from use of a Life Orb, Jaboca Berry, or Rowap Berry. Crash damage is still received if Jump Kick or High Jump Kick misses.
If Rock Head is lost in a turn due to using a recoil-inducing contact move on a Pokémon with Mummy, the HP loss from recoil will occur that turn.
In Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon with this Ability still receive recoil damage from Shadow Rush. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Pokémon with this Ability still receive recoil damage from Shadow End.

Outside of battle
Rock Head has no effect outside of battle.
