Rock type attacks are incredibly useful for it's large coverage against common types.
Rock type Pokemon are large liabilities, for their mediocre Special Defense and low Speed.

Additionally,Rock is often dual typed, ending up getting paired with a type that will cause a normally 2x weakness to double (Aggron and Tyranitar both being 4x weak to Fighting, and don't even get me started on the stupid "Rock/Ground" pairing), or not do it any favors (Shuckle's Bug typing cutting it's resistance to Fire, five of the fossils being weak to Electric), and, when not dual typed, Rock has the most weaknesses.

Basically, Rock moves are awesome, Rock Pokemon aren't, and that makes me sad.

Sounds like Ice Pokemon to me. Good moves, not so awesome type.

At least Ice Pokemon get a more varied moveset, being able to typically incorporate Electric, Water, Dragon, and Psychic attacks.

The Looker storyline is so heartwarming. This game is just so good.

That sounds fun.
I was gonna do a Gym leader run, myself, and use a RNG to decide the type I have to use.

Thinking about picking up the Pokemon TCG again after not playing it since the first generation 4 set. I think i'll buy the Fennekin deck

Matrixbeast · 10-31-2013, 06:21 PM

Hm...I don't know what Pokemon I want to train up. It was initially gonna be Tyranitar, but I decided against it because I didn't need another Rock type on the team. Then it was gonna be Aggron until I remembered Aggron was Rock too, not Ground >.>
