It is the fourth move unlocked in the game, taught by Hitmonchan at Withered Wasteland. Rock Smash is essential for mining resources, digging tunnels, and accessing areas blocked by stone and rubble.

3434 Tips
3535  
3636 Rock Smash is required to reach Drilbur and unlock Rototiller. Clear the stones east of the Pokemon Center in Withered Wasteland to access the path.When mining in caves, hold ZR and slowly walk forward to carve a tunnel. This is faster than punching one block at a time.Always carry Hamburger Steaks when exploring caves in Rocky Ridges. Ore deposits are common there, and you do not want to pass them up because your move is not upgraded.For large-scale block destruction, Rollout is faster since it breaks blocks while moving. Use Rock Smash for precision work and Rollout for bulk clearing.
