>>55802248>In gen 4I meant gen 1, why the heck did i type that.
>>55802400Now i am not brave enough to use him in a playthrough because I am conscious of its stats but i remember using him a couple of times in a Gold playthrough because you could get one with someone who would trade it to you and level him up faster, but geodude is better at long term.
Even in little cup he struggles because its gigantic defense is useless when aqua jet hits.
Needs to be buffed considering it only evolves by trading, unlike Machoke or Kadabra who are actually usable.
But Fissure in Gen1 was broken so he has that at least.
>>55802807>Physical rock attacks suffer from precission>Rock types are generally slow>Rock types are generally frail in special defense>Not many rock type special attackers>Only one reliable special rock attack and the other one needs to be chargedNot my favorite type or anything, but its members need to be buffed. You can see that the biggest problems with rock types happen to be things not inherent to the type, so it's just a matter of making better rock type pokemon and not making Rock a better type per se
