Rock Slide (Japanese: いわなだれ Rock Slide) is a damage-dealing Rock-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM48 in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as TM80, in Generation IV onwards.

Effect

Rock Slide deals damage with no additional effect.

Generation II

Trivia

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

• In Generation I, Rock Slide was the only Rock-type TM.
  • Despite this, Brock did not give it out after he was defeated.
• 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.
