But why it needed to be a hairy nose to orient itself is something I’ll never understand.Īs if its overall shape wasn’t disturbing enough, it also controls three “mini-nose” drones to accomplish various tasks. This Rock/Steel-type is described by the Pokédex as the “Compass Pokémon”. Pokémon design has hit many lows after more than a decade of games, but few things could even compare to the horror that is Generation IV’s Probopass.
In this ranking I’ll endeavor to highlight the strongest, most interesting, and overall coolest rocky ‘mons that you’ll definitely want on your team. If you’re one of those people who thinks a tiny cat with frills and ribbons has no place on the battlefield and would rather bring in the big guns, then Rock-type is for you.
Sure, they aren’t as pretty as Fairy-type Pokémon, and most aren’t quite as flashy as Electric-types tend to be – but no other type combines the integrity and brawn that Rock-type Pokémon have. They’re also crucial to the understanding of its history, since most fossil Pokémon are also Rock-types.
With tanky builds focused on dealing and protecting against physical damage, Rock-types are the strength that keeps the Pokémon world running.
