When looking at Pokémon types, it is apparent that there are a plethora of great ones that come from the Rock-type classification. Most of the best are actually dual Rock-types, though, as they have another set of skills that helps them out. What is so intriguing about this is that some of these dual Rock-types actually make up a big chunk of the most powerful of Pokémon from the entire series. This is largely due to the fact that many are not just huge in size, but also smart in battle with their defensive skills.

Therefore, when playing Pokémon games, it is always a necessity to catch them. This is actually even the case if it is just their pre-evolved forms, too. At the end of the day, though, there are a select few that truly rank among the elite of the franchise. With all of this being said, it makes a lot of sense that these Pokémon are often sought out immensely, as they can provide such a helping hand to gamers.

Onix

Ever since the beginning of the Pokémon series, Onix has been a massive force to be reckoned with. This monstrous beast is known for overpowering its opponents because of its overall strength and array of attacks.

What is even more intriguing about this specific Pokémon is that it is still so dominant before its evolved form. Thus, it warrants a lot of praise at the end of the day, as it is among the best before it hits its complete potential.

Tyrantrum

Tyrantrum is a rather unique creation, as it is a Rock/Dragon-type that resembles a Tyrannosaurus Rex. This certainly makes it quite the cool Pokémon, but it also has the skills to back this up, too.

This Generation VI Pokémon is one of the most powerful of its class, which is understandable given its huge size. What also is important to remember is that it can become truly lethal when using its Head Smash attack, as it is not only effective but quite accurate too.

Rhyperior

It is intriguing that Rhyperior even exists, as its pre-evolved form, Rhydon, is already strong enough on its own. However, Rhyperior takes this description to an entirely new level, as it is a 7'10", 624-pound monster.

With it being so large, it understandably possesses a ton of power when it comes to its attacks. This is especially the case when it uses Rock Wrecker and Mud-Slap in battle, as it will take down opponents at very rapid rates.

Coalossal

From a stylistic standpoint alone, Coalossal is nothing short of elite. It is fantastic that the series has made a Pokémon from coal and fire that is still so large in size. It is also great to see that it is a Rock/Fire-type, as it is not necessarily the most common of mixes.

It is another Pokémon that not only can find great success with its attacks, but also its defensive skills. In fact, the latter is what allows it to win so often, as Coalossal often will be able to withstand all it faces.

Armaldo

When looking at Anorith, it may be easy to assume that it does not turn into much because of its small stature. However, this could not be further from the truth, as its evolved form is Armaldo. This Pokémon, of course, can be a very valuable asset to possess.

With this being a Rock/Bug-type, it also enhances in value because of its raw originality. Furthermore, it is an excellent selection when facing off against Grass-types, as it will finish them off every time.

Omastar

When looking at Omastar, it may be hard to recognize that it is a Rock/Water-type. However, even if it may be difficult to believe, it works in its favor immensely. In fact, it secretly can be considered one of the best Pokémon from the strong Generation I.

With it being these two types, Omastar becomes a fantastic choice to use when facing Fire-type Pokémon, which makes it a quality find. Also, it is a must-use when facing the ever so powerful Lapras, as it will take it down quickly with ease.

Golem

When looking at Geodude, it is kind of remarkable that it evolves into the absolute powerhouse that is Golem. Geodude certainly is not a weak Pokémon, but it is crazy that it develops into such a beast.

Golem is certainly a Pokémon that can win a lot of battles, especially when it uses Mud-Slap and Earthquake. This is what allows it to have the potential to beat most opponents in its path, so it is worth catching every single time.

Tyranitar

When playing games like Pokémon Go, gamers are extremely active when it comes to catching Larvitar. Although Larvitar is a cool Pokémon in its own right, this desire to catch them is due to its evolved form, Tyranitar.

This Rock/Dark Pokémon is immensely successful when it comes to battle, as it can handle attacks thrown its way. While this is the case, it also needs to be noted that Larvitar is quite effective when it comes to its attacks on opponents, too.

Aerodactyl

Aerodactyl from the Pokémon series

Aerodactyl is a Pokémon from Generation I that just does not get the praise it truly warrants. A massive reason behind this fact is that there are just so many iconic Pokémon from the Kanto region, with many of them also being Flying-types.

However, Aerodactyl is certainly not a Pokémon to take lightly, as it can keep up with the best of them. Yet, this should not be too surprising, as it certainly is an imposing figure with its large size and quick speeds.

Stakataka

Stakataka from the Pokémon series

Stakataka is from Generation VIII, so gamers are still getting to know this beast of a Pokémon. It is unlike any other creature of its kind, as it is 18'1" in height while weighing in at just over 1,800 lbs. Thus, it is immensely intimidating.

It also is a Rock/Steel-type, so it will find success in battle against a great deal of Pokémon. It also receives a lot of praise for its defensive attributes, as it is able to face a ton of attacks and not experience much damage.
