Effect

Trivia

Lance's Aerodactyl using Rock Slide in Pokémon Gold and Silver

• In Generation I, Rock Slide was the only Rock-type TM.
• In Pokémon Red and Blue, the Trainer who gives TM48 in exchange for a Soda Pop states that Rock Slide can "spook the target sometimes," even though the move could not cause flinching until Generation II. This quote is omitted in Pokémon Yellow.
• In Generation II, Champion Lance's Aerodactyl knows Rock Slide despite being incapable of learning the move in that generation.
