Reason: Determine chances that a Pokémon/item/nothing will appear from a breakable rock in Generations II-IV

A breakable rock is a rock that a Pokémon can shatter by using the field move Rock Smash. These sorts of rocks are found in many routes, caves, and other locations in the Pokémon world. When these rocks are broken with Rock Smash, a wild Pokémon or item may appear.

In the games

Often in the core series games, breakable rocks may present an obstacle to the player's advancement past a certain point (requiring the acquisition of a Badge to be able to use Rock Smash) or block the way to an area or item.
