>great STAB on offense with good coverage options, one of the better offensive types>useful resists even if they don’t offset many common weaknesses>Sand buff to often weaker SpDef>Meteor Meme being crazy>Good hazard to set (even if Steels and Grounds do it better)The main cripping issue as has often been touted however is shitty move distribution. If Rock was given the basic treatment a lot of other types get with a reliable physical option like Iron Head and some more Pokemon with Accelerock, it’d be pretty much set. There’s usually more high-level usage of Rocks in doubles since Rock Slide and Meteor Beam are a lot better there.
Bug, Ice, and Normal have it infinitely worse. I’d rank Rock, Psychic, and Grass as the D tier types- they’re bad, but certainly not F
