Rock is one of the 18 Pokemon types introduced in Generation 1. Rock-type Pokemon are associated with mountains, minerals, and fossils. Rock moves are super effective against Fire, Ice, Flying, and Bug types. Defensively, Rock has 5 weaknesses but gets a 50% Special Defense boost in Sandstorm, making Rock-types excellent special walls on Sand teams. Rock is the type of Stealth Rock, the most important entry hazard in competitive Pokemon.
