----
The '''Rock type''' (Japanese: '''いわタイプ''' ''Rock type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Rock-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Rock-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, and {{type|Water}} moves.
{{ElementalTypes}}
The '''Rock type''' (Japanese: '''いわタイプ''' ''Rock type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in the Rock type include [[Brock]], {{ka|Flint}} and [[Forrest]] of [[Pewter City]], [[Roxanne]] of [[Rustboro City]] and [[Roark]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. They are, notably, all the first [[Gym Leader]] encountered in their respective regions. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Rock-type moves were physical.

===Defense===
===Additional effects===
Rock-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition, introduced in [[Generation II]].


The Rock type is rather risky defensively. Despite having an overall high {{stat|Defense}} on average, its weaknesses to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Fighting}} moves, typically physical in nature and rather commonly used, take it down a notch. The fact that, at best, its {{stat|Special Defense}} is mediocre, combined with its weakness to the common {{t|Grass}} and {{type2|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}}).
Starting in [[Generation IV]], Rock-type Pokémon have their {{stat|Special Defense}} boosted by 50% during a sandstorm.
 
However, resistances to {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Fire}} help the Rock-type to hold its own if it needs to. Moreover, in a {{m|Sandstorm}} its said lackluster {{stat|Special Defense}} is increased by 50%. Furthermore, [[Weather Conditions#Sandstorm|Sandstorms]] are very common in many tiers, thanks to {{a|Sand Stream}} automatically casting a permanent Sandstorm.
 
===Offense===
Rock is one of the best types offensively. Being resisted by only three of the seventeen types, two of which are hindered by their own bad defenses and relative scarcity helps it a lot, and the fact that {{p|Excadrill|only}} {{P|Steelix|four}} {{p|Lucario|Pokémon}} {{p|Cobalion|out}} of 649 have a double resistance to Rock keeps its moves relatively effective. Double weaknesses to Rock are relatively common, mostly due to the many Bug-types having  Flying as a secondary type, while the typically high-powered Ice- and Fire-types also do not fare well. As Pokémon of the three types that resist Rock typically can master Rock-type moves, this proves a quite versatile combination. However, Rock is not a great type for [[special attack]]. There are only two special Rock type moves and both of them aren't very powerful. Also, there are very few rock type pokemon whose special attack is higher than its [[attack]].
 
When used in contests, Rock-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cute Contest|Cute]].


==Pokémon==
==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 47 Rock-type Pokémon or 7.24% of all Pokémon, making it the tenth most common elemental type.
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Rock-type Pokémon|pages}} Rock-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Rock-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon, causing it to tie with {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Ground}} as the 6th rarest type after {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.

==Moves==
==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 26 Rock-type [[move]]s, which makes up 2.78% of all moves (excluding those that are Rock-type only under certain circumstances), making it the rarest type among moves, with {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Flying}} tied as the second rarest.
Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Rock-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fighting (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Rock-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Grass}}, {{TCG|Water}} or {{TCG|Psychic}} with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against most {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon and some {{TCG|Colorless}} Pokémon, whilst some Colorless and Psychic Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* If there were a hypothetical Pokémon of all 17 types, it would only be weak to Rock-type moves, due to the fact that there are more Pokémon types weak to it than Pokémon types that resist it, and that no types are immune to it.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Rock-type Pokémon of any generation, with twelve. [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest Rock-type Pokémon, with five.
* There were no pure Rock-type Pokémon in [[Generation I]].
* [[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}}.
* 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 were part Ground-type, and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon (the then five [[fossil]] Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
* Tied with {{t|Grass}}, Rock types have the most weaknesses of any type, with five.
* The Rock type is tied with the {{type2|Grass}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Steel}}.
* Rock-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon<!--As of Generation 7-->
** Coincidentally, Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types {{t|Grass}} is weak to, with {{t|Poison}} being the exception. Interestingly though, the Rock type resists the {{t|Poison}} type, being a good matchup for all of the {{t|Grass}} type's weaknesses.
* 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.
* Seven of the fifteen Rock-type moves (just under half) have the word 'rock' in their names.  
* 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}}.
* Every known [[fossil]] Pokémon is part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
* The Rock type is tied with the {{t|Grass}} type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five. However, a combination of the two types (Rock/Grass) would only have four weaknesses.
* Every known Gym that specializes in the Rock type has been the first Gym of its region.
** Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types {{t|Grass}} is weak to, with {{t|Poison}} being the exception.
** Similarly, each of the Leaders of these Gyms have used {{p|Geodude}} as at least one of their Pokémon.
* Most [[Fossil]] Pokémon are either part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
* [[Johto]]'s [[Olivine Gym]] was a Rock-type Gym before the {{t|Steel}} type was discovered.
** This makes [[Unova]] the only region with Gyms not known to have ever had a Rock-type Gym.
* The Rock-type has the fewest [[special move]]s of all types, with three.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], there were no pure Rock-type Pokémon until [[Generation II]], with only {{p|Sudowoodo}}.
* The Rock type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Normal}}.
** This makes Rock the only type to not have been paired up with Ghost.
* Rock is the only type not represented by a [[Gym Leader]], an [[Elite Four]] member, or a [[Team Star]] Boss in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
** However, [[Tyme]] is stated to be a former Rock-type Gym Leader. Moreover, {{pkmn|Champion|Top Champion}} [[Geeta]]'s ace Pokémon {{p|Glimmora}} is and {{Tera}}stallizes into the Rock-type, like the aces of the other types' specialists.

Moves

In the TCG

Main article: Fighting (TCG)

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Rock-type Pokémon are generally listed as Fighting-type Pokémon.

Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Grass, Water or Psychic with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against most Darkness and Lightning Pokémon and some Colorless Pokémon, whilst some Colorless and Psychic Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

Trivia

  • Generation III introduced the most Rock-type Pokémon of any generation, with twelve. Generation VII introduced the fewest Rock-type Pokémon, with five.
  • Generation IV introduced the most Rock-type moves of any generation, with six, while Generation VI introduced the fewest Rock-type moves, with only one.
  • Tied with Grass, Rock types have the most weaknesses of any type, with five.
  • Rock-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest Speed of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon
  • In the first season of the anime and during much of Generation I, the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Electric-type attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the Geodude and Rhyhorn evolution lines, and 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 Showdown in Pewter City, Sick Daze and Right On, Rhydon!, Ground and Rock-type Pokémon are said to have a strong aversion to water and generally being wet. Rhydon is often presented as an exception to this rule due to its ability to use the move Surf.
  • The Rock type is tied with the Grass type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five. However, a combination of the two types (Rock/Grass) would only have four weaknesses.
    • Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types Grass is weak to, with Poison being the exception.
  • Most Fossil Pokémon are either part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
  • Johto's Olivine Gym was a Rock-type Gym before the Steel type was discovered.
    • This makes Unova the only region with Gyms not known to have ever had a Rock-type Gym.
  • The Rock-type has the fewest special moves of all types, with three.
  • Despite being introduced in Generation I, there were no pure Rock-type Pokémon until Generation II, with only Sudowoodo.
  • The Rock type has been paired up with every other type except for Ghost and Normal.
    • This makes Rock the only type to not have been paired up with Ghost.
  • Rock is the only type not represented by a Gym Leader, an Elite Four member, or a Team Star Boss in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
