Trivia

• Rock Smash is the only HM move that does not share its type with another HM move, past or present.
• Rock Smash is the only move to be a TM, become an HM, revert to being a TM again, and then revert back to an HM.
• Rock Smash and Rock Climb are the only moves that have the word rock in their name, but are not Rock-type.
• Although Rock Smash is a Fighting-type move, it uses the Rock-type TM icon in the Generation V games.
