It's almost as if Rock needs an overdue buff and that Game Freak hasn't clued in yet.

>here is a slow defensive rock-type pokémon
>why is no one using it
Hmm... It should be obvious but Game Freak won't clue in. It's not like Rock losing a weakness or two and gaining a few resistances will cause Charizard's popularity to fall or anything.

Steel is the only defensive sounding type that actually is good defensively. Who the fuck would imagine poison to be a defensive type if they hadn't played the games before.

Same as Ice.

Reminds me that I still want to create a scene of Pikachu being stomped to death by an Aurorus in Garry's Mod.

How would you guys balance rock better? What weaknesses should be taken away and what resistances should be given?

Too bad all rock moves have shit accuracy for some reason.

Realistically, what Resists/Weaknesses could Rock gain/lose? The only things I can think of that would come close to making sense is it losing its Grass weakness and gaining a Bug resist, but its not like either of those would help it much and Grass and Bug definitely don't need any nerfs.

Make Rock resist itself so that it can at least resist its own hazard.

Fairy loses its resistance to Bug and Rock resists it instead. Fairy needs to be knocked down a few pedestals, Sylveon's popularity be damned.

Lycanroc Midday and Midnight are shit compared to Dusk so that makes sense

It, Aerodactyl, Kabutops, maybe a few more aren't bad though

Have it where a sending out a Rock-type Pokémon when the opposing team's Stealth Rocks is out would remove it like with Toxic Spikes. Would give Rock-type Pokémon actual use.

all that does is make grass and fighting worse, and fighting doesn't need another nerf after fairy, and grass is hanging on by a thread because of its unique combination of resists
