 ===Defense===
-The Rock type is rather risky defensively. Despite having an overall high {{stat|Defense}} on average, and whilst it is defensive against the very common [[Normal]]-type moves, its weaknesses to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves, typically physical in nature and rather commonly used, take it down a notch. The fact that, its {{stat|Special Defense}} is mediocre at best, when combined with its weakness to the common {{t|Grass}} and {{type|Water}} moves, greatly decrease its ability to defend.

 Double weaknesses among Rock-types are very common. Rock/Steel Pokémon are doubly weak to Ground and Fighting, two common powerful types. Rock/Water Pokémon and Rock/Ground Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass and the latter is also doubly weak to the common Water (along with an extra weakness to the powerful Ice.) The low Speed that many Rock-types have causes even further problems. Their resistance to {{t|Fire}} can now be made useless as many Fire types' movesets have been expanded in [[Generation IV]] to include Grass attacks (most notably {{m|SolarBeam}}). Furthermore, tied with {{t|Grass}}, Rock types have the most weaknesses, with five.
