| Rock is one of the best types offensively. Being resisted by only three of the seventeen types, two of which are hindered by {{t|Fighting|their own bad defenses}} and {{t|Steel|relative scarcity}} helps it a lot, and the fact that {{p|Excadrill|only}} {{p|Lucario|four}} {{p|Steelix|Poké}}{{p|Cobalon|mon}} out of 649 have a double resistance to Rock keeps its moves relatively effective. Double weaknesses to Rock are relatively common, with many {{type2|Bug}}s having one due to their secondary {{type2|Flying}}, while the typically high-powered {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}}s also do not fare well. As Pokémon of the three types that resist Rock typically can master Rock-type moves, this proves a quite versatile combination.
