Stealth Rock Effect

Stealth Rock In-Game.jpg

Throws many small rocks. When a rock hits an opposing Pokemon, or when the rocks have flown their full distance, a zone of many levitating rocks is created, dealing slowly-increasing damage over time to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect.

How to Use Stealth Rock

Zone Out Enemies

Pokemon UNITE - Crustle Defending Goal Using Stealth Rock

You can use Stealth Rock to zone out enemies and secure certain areas like the Zapdos area. You can also use it to defend your goal zones by casting it in the center, damaging enemies who enter it and interrupting their scoring.

Farm Wild Pokemon

Pokemon UNITE - Crustle Using Stealth Rock on Combees and Vespiquen

Utilize Stealth Rock's high AoE damage and short cooldown to quickly farm wild Pokemon, especially Combees and Vespiquen. Remember to also score goals when neccessary.

Always Use in an Open Area

Pokemon UNITE - Crustle Using Stealth Rock Behind a Wall

Always use Stealth Rock in a open area, never cast it from behind walls or any obstructions. Stealth Rock's projectile can't pass through obstructions and will immediately create the area of floating pebbles if it comes into contact with them.
