* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Rock-type moves of any generation, with six, while [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Rock-type moves, with only {{m|Diamond Storm|one}}.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Rock-type moves of any generation, with six, while [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Rock-type moves, with only one.
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by {{type|Electric}} attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolution lines, and {{p|Onix}}) were part Ground-type and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon around at the time (the then five [[Fossil]] Pokémon) were actually weak to them.

* In the anime on multiple occasions, like in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'' and ''[[EP204|Right On, Rhydon!]]'', {{t|Ground}} and Rock-type Pokémon are said to have a strong aversion to water and generally being wet. {{p|Rhydon}} is often presented as an exception to this rule due to its ability to use the move {{m|Surf}}.
