rock-Type Weaknesses
- grass: Vegetation naturally exploits fissures and weaknesses in rocks through the plant's root systems - these roots can split open rocks as they continue to grow and thrive in the rock.
- ground: The ground inheritely shifts, erodes, and subsumes rock formations through processes such as earthquakes, landslides, and tectonic shift.
- steel: Steel, as a harder and more durable material, can fracture and overcome the relatively brittle nature of rock.
- fighting: Hyaa! Kiai! Wham! - Fighting is super-effective against Rock because with enough kinetic energy, stones can be split or crumbled.
- water: Water is an erosive power - water at high pressures have been shown to slice rocks, as well as reshape them through currents overtime.
rock-Type Resistances
- normal: Your average joe would have an exceptionally hard time doing any damage to a mineral, stone, boulder, etc.
- fire: Rocks are highly tolerant to flames, and therefore do not incenerate under high temperatures.
- flying: Airborne creatures as well as wind itself do not possess the strength to budge the largest of rocks.
- poison: Rocks are not made of organic material, and therefore are not hurt by any toxic infliction.
