Rock type

The is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
Rock-type Pokémon stand out for their great defense to physical attacks; however, this type is tied with the Grass type as having the most weaknesses, with five, and Pokémon of this type are not very fast. Also, some Rock-type moves don't have great accuracy.
All Fossil Pokémon before Gen VIII are of this type. Their fossils preserve enough material genetic to be worked with to bring them back to life, but it can be known, that the Rock type was very abundant. They also have unique combinations to Pokémon of the present.
Most Rock-type Pokémon are biological organisms covered with armor made out of minerals. However, there are other Pokémon that resemble living rock (such as the Roggenrola line, Nosepass, and Minior).
The Rock type is commonly combined with the Ground type, so they are usually confused, although they're not the same. Even in the anime, this confusion has been present, saying that Rock-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type attacks when this factor is actually present for the Ground type instead.
Famous Rock-type Pokémon Trainers include Brock, the first Gym Leader of Kanto; Roxanne, first Gym Leader of the Hoenn region; Roark, first Gym Leader in Sinnoh; Grant, the second Kalos Gym Leader; Olivia, the Akala Island Kahuna in Alola; and Gordie, the sixth Gym Leader in Galar in Pokémon Sword.

==Relations with other types==
*They're strong against the  type because a rock can easily crush an insect.
*They're strong against the  type because rocks can keep fire at bay, and the fire disappears easily if rocks are thrown on it. Additionally, rocks are not flammable. Curiously, the Scorbunny evolution line can light rocks on fire and Cinderace's signature move, Pyro Ball, involves lighting a pebble on fire and kicking it at an opponent.
*They're strong against the  type because in ancient times, birds were hunted with the use of stones; especially since throwing a stone at a bird can kill it, hence the term "You can kill two birds with one stone". Their weight also makes it difficult for them to be blown away by wind.
*They're strong against the  type because stones and rocks can shatter ice with ease.
*They're weak against the  type because the roots of trees and plants make their way through the ground, and if there's a rock, the plants can wedge their roots into the rock and break it.
*They're weak against the  type because sandstorms erode rocks and earthquakes destroy structures made of stone and concrete.
*They're weak against the  type because some martial artists are trained to break stones, cement, and concrete.
*They're weak against the  type because steel is harder than stone and tools made out of steel are made to break rocks.
*They're weak against the  type because water can sink rocks.
*They're resistant to the type because regular people cannot split rocks and they are normally resilient.
*They're resistant to the type because rocks are non-organic and are thus unaffected by poisons. Interestingly, Rock-type Pokémon are still able to be poisoned, unlike the Steel type which is immune to their attacks.
==Trivia==
*The -type is tied with the -type for the most weaknesses (5).
**However, if both are combined, the weakness outcome only comes out as 4.
*The Pokémon Trainer Guess toy states that the Rock-type is called the Jewel-type.
*The Rock-type has the least Special Moves: Power Gem, Continental Crush and Ancient Power.
*Roark and Grant, the Rock-type Gym Leaders of Sinnoh and Kalos respectively, are the only Gym Leaders to use Fossil Pokémon, as Roark uses a Cranidos and Grant uses both Tyrunt and Amaura.
*As of Generation IX, the only types that haven't been paired with the Rock-type are the type and the type.
