Stealth Rock (Japanese: ステルスロック Stealth Rock) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
Generation IV
Stealth Rock sets an entry hazard around the target Pokémon. Pokémon on the target's field receive damage upon switching in. The amount of damage inflicted upon switching in is affected by type effectiveness against Rock. It also does not stack if multiple layers are set. It does not damage Pokémon with the ability Magic Guard. The moves Rapid Spin and Defog remove the effect of Stealth Rock; Rapid Spin removes Stealth Rock set around the Rapid Spinner while Defog removes Stealth Rock set around the target of Defog.
The damage is taken from the victim's maximum HP, and follows:
Type effectiveness | Damage (Max. HP) |
---|---|
0.25× | 3.125% |
0.5× | 6.25% |
1× | 12.5% |
2× | 25% |
4× | 50% |
Generation V
Stealth Rock can now be reflected by Magic Coat.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
The user will lay a Stealth Rock tile. If any opposing Pokémon steps on the tile, they will receive damage. The trap is hidden until a Pokémon activates it and has no effect on the user or allies. Unlike the main series games, the damage dealt by Stealth Rock does not depend on weakness or resistance. However, Stealth Rock tile cannot be layed under one-tile ways and the entrance of a room.

User | First Used In | Notes | |
Onix's body becomes surrounded in several silver glitters that grow larger and fire around the battlefield. The energy then grows larger and forms into pointed gray rocks that sit in the ground. When the opponent sends out another Pokémon, the rocks around it raise into the air, glow white, and crush the opponent. | |||

Onix raises its tail into the air and waves it back and forth. Multiple pointed rocks from all around the battlefield then rise up into the air and float in a circular pattern. When the opponent sends out another Pokémon into the battle, the rocks that were floating into the air suddenly fall to the ground, then shoot at the opponent with the pointed ends stabbing it. | |||

Trivia
- In Generation IV, Stealth Rock is one of the few TM moves that no Pokémon can learn naturally.
- The opposite is true in Generation V, where Stealth Rock is no longer a TM and therefore, only accessible through level-up.
- Neither any Electric-type nor any Ghost-type Pokémon learns Stealth Rock, in both Generations IV and V.
