Rock

The Rock-type is one of the fifteen elemental types introduced in the first generation of Pokémon. As one might expect, it is mostly made up of small and large boulder-like creatures with high defensive stats – making them ‘Rock solid’. It is to speculate if these Rock-typed organisms are silicone-based instead of being carbon-based.

It is to note that before Generation 4, all damaging Rock-type moves were categorized into physical attacks, while afterward being split up into the special and status categories too – depending on the move.
