==I can confrim for certain==
Solid Rock Reduced Damage by 1/3. I tested by having both a Rhyperior and a Camerupt hit by a Max Sp. Atk Kyogre And Rain boosted Max health Water Spout, while Rhyperior and Camerupt (Both being 4x weak to Water) each had Light Screen and 3 stages of Sp. Def increase passed to them, a well as Max HP stats and a certain amount of Sp. Def each. Using a modifier of 1/3rds(Thus the Water spout is only 2.66x effective instead of 4x), I calculated that they would survive with very little HP, then proceed to take out the Kyogre with their own attacks, which the video showed. If Solid rock was 1/4th, the two would've been KO'd right there, and if it was 1/2, they would've had much more HP left. All other calculations I've ever made using 1/3 reduction have been completely accurate to what I see in battle.
I can upload the vid to my youtube and post a link if you need to see it for yourselves. I can also post the damage calculation formula with the stats put in as well.[[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 01:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

==It has to be one or the other==

Bulbapedia says Solid Rock reduces super damage by 1/3. Serebii says by half. We should really find out which is which, I don't like seeing differences like this. A similar thing happened with [[Iron Fist]].

:I...don't know which is correct.  Ourselves and Serebii seem to be the only two sources with specific reduction amounts.  Sorry I can't help you.  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 02:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:::well, after checking out some other sites, it seems like no one knows. ive seen 1/3, 2/3, 1/2, 1/4. im going to continue looking, but, um... -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 02:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

== Palmer's Rhyperior. ==

When Rhyperior was hit by Grotle's Energy Ball, hit hardly did any damage, so is this Solid Rock activating in the Anime?

== Trivia ==

I think there could be a trivia point that all Pokemon who can have this ability have at least one 4X weakness.  I would add it myself anyway, except that adding trivia is forbidden right now due to B/W server load.--[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 02:23, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Shouldn't we have the 4x as a trivia and not at the top?
