Movable boulder
Movable boulders are a type of obstacle appearing in many core series games, commonly found in caves. The player must use the help of a Pokémon to move them around.
Boulders appear in Generations I to VII and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. In Generations I to VI and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, they can be moved using the field move Strength. In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, they can be moved using the Ride Pokémon Machamp Shove. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, they can be moved using the Secret Technique Strong Push.
