Rock type Pokémon are pretty easy to spot and you don’t even need a Pokédex for confirmation. These type of Pokémon are generally made of rocks, or have stones and rocks as part of their anatomy.
Since these Pokémon are made up of rock formations, they are regarded as being extremely strong physically and their physical attacks can completely devastate their opponents if they land perfectly. Although they have high defense, they are susceptible to grass and water. And since most of these Pokémon are quite heavy, they tend to be slow compared to most other Pokémon types.
There’s also the lazy designs that set these rock-type Pokémon apart from the rest. But at the same time, it’s a good thing that you can easily distinguish these Pokémon with just a single look.
Although they share similar features with ground-type Pokémon, they are distinct in other ways. If you’re looking to learn all about the best rock Pokémon, then you should read this article to the very end!
